    It is mid-level when it comes to running it by a non-IT person. I have no technical/IT training and can figure out on my own (or with a little web search) how to do most tasks. It may not be best for the very tech-challenged operator.

    If you're looking for basic signature-based anti-virus at a reasonable price, F-Secure Protection for Business could be a good choice. It does a good job for anti-virus but doesn't include the more advanced features of more expensive products like intrusion detection, forensics, and protection of zero day exploits. It may work well in combination with other tools.

    Pros
    Sophos
    • Centralised portal for both Anti Virus and Encryption
    • Internet-facing with the ability for global / multi region access for large organizations
    • Multi-level, built-in admin roles for different access levels for your Support Team. Also, you can define new roles to tailor to your organization

    • Anti-virus (classic signature-based). This is a classic anti-virus tool without some of the fancy bells and whistles of more expensive products.
    • Real-time protection. The product can do filesystem scheduled scans as well as real-time analysis of files.
    • Browser protection. It comes with a decent browser plugin that can block access to malicious sites.

    Cons
    Sophos
    • Interface is a little difficult to get Hands On. It can be simplified for better adaptability
    • XDR compatibility should be enhanced
    • More simplified white-books should be provided to train the non tech teams
    • Commercially also the cost should be improved for different industry segments

    WithSecure
    • It does not provide "next gen" features like zero day protection, forensics, intrusion detection and analysis.
    • The management interface is clunky and difficult to use.
    • Real-time protection and firewall services can interfere with legitimate activities at times and make it difficult to troubleshoot.

    Usability
    Sophos
    I am pretty satisfied with Sophos Central Device Encryption's overall capabilities. It is easy to implement and ultimately brings more peace of mind because fewer tickets are generated. As a result, security within the organization is also improved. Another significant advantage is that you can quickly see the statuses in real time on the dashboards. This gives you a better overview and reduces the chance of missing minor security settings.

    At that time, we chose Sophos based on the reputation and our partnership with our partner. And in general Sophos could give us more benefit than other competitors with the similar solution. However we do not feel comfortable to disclose information about comparison with other solutions. Despite that, we think Sophos could deliver our requirements very well with the cost that were reasonable for us.

    F-Secure stacks up very well against competitors like McAfee and Norton. Cost is very reasonable, performance is great, and it does as good (or better) a job of these more well-known products. F-Secure particularly works well for non-profits looking to negotiate for a more reasonable rate.

    Return on Investment
    Sophos
    • It's had a positive impact as it's allowed us to effectively secure hard drives with bitlocker encryption
    • A larger part of our work force works from home, and Sophos can be deployed remotely and will start encryption almost straight away on any computer that isn't already encrypted.

    • Positive - very generous discounts for non-profits make this inexpensive compared to other products.
    • F-Secure has caught some (but not all) malware incidents on our workstations, which have saved us time and money.
    • The cost/benefit ratio is very high. For what you're getting, this is a reasonably priced product.
