What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

I appreciate the various tools offered in the Sophos Portal, particularly the remote computer control and scanning capabilities. The Self Help Tool provides valuable computer-level information and I also find the threat graph and admin tools on the dashboard very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

The user interface of the portal is quite cluttered, making it difficult to locate specific settings, information, or functions. When an app is blocked, allowing that application to run seems counterintuitive, even for an admin. Adding a website to the whitelist should enable access to that site. However, you must also change the category to access the site. Finally, the most significant challenge was installing the Sophos endpoint agent. Initially, Sophos customer service provided very little help unless we paid for support. They first directed me to a German-language YouTube video with subtitles. Fortunately, our Sophos Account Executive and Solution Engineer reached out to us and offered exceptional support and assistance, leveraging their wealth of knowledge and experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sophos MDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sophos MDR provides our company and employees with cyber security solutions that work on a variety of platforms and application environments. Most of all they provide us with peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

The customer services and features added to Sophos MDR make it a very compelling choice. I appreciate their promptness to respond and their attention to detail. It was also quite easy to implement and simple to use after some training. It is also easy to integrate with our other security products (aside from Netskope, which there is no integration for outside of sharing malicious hashes). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

We tend to get mostly false positives, but that's much better than having false negatives! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sophos MDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sophos MDR is providing us with 24/7 analyst support on our network, which helps me significantly on a two person Security team where I am the only technical person. It gives me peace of mind when I clock out for the day and support when I need help investigating a threat. I am very happy with this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

I like that it has the flexablity of being a managed soluiton, while still allowing property level IT staff to perform investigations of their own. It integrates with our email soluion, firewalls, and virutal environments. We have even had a couple instances where we opened tickets with the MDR team to assist with workstation reviews that went to 'questionable' sites, just to have peace of mind. We get weekly reports for each of our properties that detail any investations that took place behind the scenses. Everything ties back to a central web portal, which makes manuvering between the endpoint soultion, threat hunting, email protection, and other tools fairly seemless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

Some of the initial setup for the log collecting can be a bit confusing. However, the Sophos SE's are usually willing to jump in and assist without trying to nickle and dime you. When lumping multilpe sites together, you will need to create sub-estates, which sometimes makes it tricky to track your licensing per site for other sophos products, but for the antivirus/MDR solution, you can deploy a specific agent that will link a workstation/server to a specific sub-estate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sophos MDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a medium-sized company, with small, decentralzied IT departments. Sophos MDR provides us a 3rd party, 24/7 cyber security team that monitors all our environments. We were already utilizing the Sophos Endpoint Detection and Response on our workstaitons, which made moving to the MDR platform rather seemless, We then added on the email protection and network detection and response pieces to get a firmer grip on cyber security.

What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

Como ya éramos clientes de Sophos InterceptX Advanced con XDR, pasar a MDR es sólo añadir la licencia y configurar los métodos de contacto, por lo que la facilidad de integración es máxima.. Sophos se encarga de todo, es más, incluso hay un servicio de onboarding con el cual verificar que todo es correcto. Una vez configurado, Sophos se encarga de todo: revisar las detecciones, analizarlas y, si es necesario, responder en tiempo récord. MDR nos ha permitido ahorrar muchísimo tiempo, pues ya no nos es necesario revisar la consola diariamente, pues ellos lo hacen por nosotros. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

MDR de Sophos puede resultar algo estricto, en el sentido de equipos que sabemos tienen alguna deficiencia que nos piden resolver y debemos justificar el motivo por el cual deben seguir así. Entendemos que no es correcto su estado, pero por temas operacionales no es posible su cambio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sophos MDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dos problemas principales: falta de tiempo y alto conocimiento. Al ser un MDR, ya no debemos invertir tiempo en revisar las alertas de XDR y contextualizarlas pero además, si hay que responder, Sophos se encarga por nosotros. Respecto al conocimiento, pese a que tenemos personal focalizado en ciberseguridad, es imposible llegar al nivel de dedicación realizando la cantidad de búsquedas proactivas de amenazas, pues aunque se esté muy al día de las últimas novedades, siempre un equipo como MDR, con todos los clientes que tiene, estará mucho más actualizado y buscará nuevos problemas incluso antes de que los ciberdelincuentes lo intenten.

What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

I have to say, my experience with Sophos has been absolutely incredible. From the moment I started configuring the products with pro support, I knew I was in good hands. The pro support deployment made it so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

The endpoint does not manage the firewall is one of my dislike about Sophos. Also there MDR team does do human threat huntting but it does not give you the indepth look as a full security operations center (SOC). For an example you will not get an alert from Sophos if a user log in from USA and then latter that day they log in from Ireland. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sophos MDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

With the MDR product, I got there threate hunting and that was a need we have for complance. It is very nice to have a MDR team that is just a call or email away. Most of our Table top exercises one of the top 5 steps is contact MDR team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

Quick and easy installation of the individual endpoints. Good support during onboarding so that no questions remain unanswered. Little need for adjustment during operation, but if there is, this can easily be done via Sophos Central. Detected threats are resolved to our complete satisfaction. Telephone contacts at the highest escalation level helpful and absolutely competent, feels like an extension of our circle of colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

The associated NDR sensor was still relatively complicated to implement at the time of its introduction. However, when it is running, it does its job unobtrusively.

There is still room for improvement when it comes to activating false-positive detections, e.g. when accessing websites for an awareness campaign. The pages can be reported, but no feedback is given as to whether these pages are now free or not. As a result, our awareness campaign did not work properly, as training links were immediately blocked as unsafe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sophos MDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sophos MDR helps us tremendously with its expertise, which we cannot maintain 24/7 in our IT department. This raises the overall security level of the entire company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

Sophos MDR offers a simple but extensive policy engine which allows our organisation to create policy which truely reflects our business. Implementation is straight forward with agent onboarding performed with a few clicks or an automated install script. Sadly (or not so sadly) I've not had to engage customer support much as the MDR product just works. As a daily driver of the product I'd have to say I am overall impressed with Sophos MDR solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

Althought integration is straight forward the pay to integrate model is a hard pill to swallow, we have network services with a leading provider and we find that paying several thousand to bring that visability into the solution to be a bit unfair. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sophos MDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing a robust security solution with a streamlined information security team. The tool including features that include FIM, EDR, Web Controls and DLP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

Having an extra set of people and machines, watching your traffic and data is great for compliance and security. They are corralate all the data coming in from all the machines to better track and diagnose security attempts or breaches. Super easy to use the dashboards to get a good view of what is going on, on a daily bassis. Working with the MDR team makes it very easy to setup the integration, as they have tons of setup trainings, and videos. Working with support they review your settings to make sure everthing is setup correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

Initial setup requires many hrs with support to make sure everthing is setup correctly and working as designed. If you are very savy, this can be a bit boring at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sophos MDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it to help comply with Requirements around PCI, and daily log reviews. because they have a constance watch on the data, we ship our logs to them to add to the data lake, and they use it to let us know of any issues, we should need to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
