The detailed kill chain listed for all events it flags helps differentiate false positives and events requiring more digging. Additionally, we see fewer false positives than we had with our previous product.

I dislike their phishing protection capabilities. Doesn't protect against SMS and seems to just alert instead of prevent. I would like to see them improve visibility into apps and man-in-the-middle attacks.

I like how easy it is to configure and manage, as well as how well it works. I have had extremely good luck with it, and i have used it since it was in beta form. I have looked at other offerings, but keep sticking with Sophos, which must mean something.
