I like that Sophos MDR provides round-the-clock monitoring by real experts who not only detect threats but also take action to stop them. It feels like having a full security operations center on my side, without the need to hire one in-house.

Instead of only relying on automated alerts, their team actively investigates unusual activities, which eliminates the typical "alert fatigue" many IT teams face. It feels less like outsourcing a service and more like extending your security team with highly skilled professionals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

Honestly, there’s very little to dislike about Sophos MDR. If I had to mention one thing, it would be that sometimes the detailed reports can be very technical for non-IT stakeholders. However, this is a minor point, as the team always provides clear explanations and guidance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

What I like best about Sophos MDR is the peace of mind it brings by combining advanced threat detection with a highly responsive 24/7 expert team. I appreciate the proactive monitoring and rapid incident response, which allows my internal team to focus on strategic initiatives while knowing that any suspicious activity is being handled in real time.

The level of visibility and control over threats, without having to manage everything manually... Is truly a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

One area that could be improved is the reporting dashboard. While it provides useful insights, it lacks flexibility in customization and could benefit from more real-time analytics. Enhancing this would make it easier for different teams to extract actionable intelligence tailored to their specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

While Sophos MDR is overall a strong solution, there are a few areas for improvement. Sometimes the alerts can be a bit too frequent or not fully prioritized, which can lead to alert fatigue. Additionally, the response time from the MDR team, while usually fast, can occasionally be slower during non-critical issues. Pricing might also be a concern for smaller organizations, as the service can become costly depending on the number of devices or endpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sophos Offers Streamlined macOS Setup, Sophos Email is great if using Microsoft 365"
5/5
What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

Features for the price. The documentation is in-depth while being easy to understand and follow. MDR is a great value, specially since XDR is "included" with it, depending on which option you end up going with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

Could do better to support Google Workspace features like email clawback for Sophos Email (works great with Microsoft 365 though). Also, Linux is currently very limited in the features it has available to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Evaluating Sophos MDR: Strengths, Gaps, and Real-World Performance"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

What I like best about Sophos MDR is the 24/7 monitoring combined with proactive threat hunting by their expert team. Unlike traditional endpoint solutions that only alert on suspicious activity, Sophos MDR provides real-time detection, investigation, and response — which greatly reduces the burden on in-house IT/security teams. I also appreciate the seamless integration with the Sophos ecosystem (firewalls, endpoint, email security), giving a single-pane-of-glass view and faster containment of threats. Their analysts not only respond to incidents but also provide detailed insights and recommendations, which helps strengthen the overall security posture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

Advanced customization and fine-tuning of detection rules can feel somewhat limited compared to more complex SIEM/SOC solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
