Sophos Email Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sophos Email to protect our organization from SPAM, malware, and other malicious email-borne activity. We use it to provide global inbound and outbound email policies, as well as staff self-service email encryption of sensitive data. We also use impersonation protection for our Executive and Finance identities.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well-suited to protect organizations of all sizes from email-borne threats and for regulated organizations where email compliance/standards are important. Not well suited to organizations without knowledgeable IT support in email protocols/security. It would be challenging for them to set up/configure properly. If doing so, I recommend they engage with a partner or Sophos directly for professional services.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sophos email as a way to protect and filter our staff's email boxes from all the junk and malicious emails that arrive daily. The way it integrates into our Sophos Central web portal is highly efficient for anyone on the IT Team to manage users, quarantined emails, filters, DLP policy, etc. And the new on-demand sandbox feature is one of the coolest things I have seen this year! I highly recommend this solution for anyone looking for a complete and reliable email security product that will make you rest easy at night.

The Sophos email solution is a good fit for my organization which is a mid-size resort with 200 users. Sophos email has revealed unwanted emails that were getting through our built in Microsoft email security scanning and policies so having this extra layer was a no brainier. With that we were able to focus on the bad stuff and even tweak our products with this information from Sophos email.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sophos Email protection to help us defend our users against the multitude of threats that are out in the modern world. Though we educate our users about the dangers and threats, we cannot rely on education alone. Sophos' email security options give our company peace of mind when it comes to email security.

Likelihood to Recommend

I strongly believe that if you are looking for a product that does what it says on the box and has the capacity to keep your company safe, you should look at Sophos. They have consistently been at the top of their game and continue to provide a product that meets the ever-changing needs of the threat landscape.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sophos Email is our main spam filter. This product does a great job keeping our users and site protected from Email attacks. It reduces the total spam we get everyday and I feel confident that it is preventing phishing attacks.

Likelihood to Recommend

Sophos email along with training will provide a great perimeter defense for your email system. It is not a perfect system but it does a really good job at keeping users safe. The console takes a little bit of time to get use to but once you are comfortable with it, it is a very powerful tool.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for email filtering, DLP and email encryption.

Likelihood to Recommend

The price point for this solution is attractive and they are improving it. However, I would be hesitant to recommend it at this time. We have been using this solution for about 2 and half years and for most of that time we have not been overly impressed with it. As I mentioned they are making noticeable improvements.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sophos Central is currently deployed for endpoint protection, phishing training, and as an email gateway solution for filtering inbound and outbound emails. This product pre-dates my time with our current company but the experience and product performance has been very poor.

Likelihood to Recommend

Sophos email gateway is not suitable as an email gateway product. Support is lackluster, the product is inconsistent in how it handles emails and allows far more malicious emails to be delivered than it should. I would not recommend this product to anyone. We are considering legal action against Sophos for failure to deliver a warrantable product as it relates to the email gateway specifically.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sophos Email as our main Antispam, which is very useful to us and stops emails from bad origin, additionally, it gives us an alert when it does not let an email pass due to security.

Likelihood to Recommend

I recommend Sophos Email, as it does not need a physical server, but is based on the cloud, the administration is simple and easy to use, the tool is very good and helps to identify malicious emails.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently used as our email gateway for all inbound and outbound traffic.

Likelihood to Recommend

Very good as an email gateway. UI isn't the best. Has the same features as other email gateway products.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have Sophos Email protecting the entire company. This product helps us to filter malicious emails and create very specific rules. Also, the integrated DLP has allowed us to have compliance with regulations such as PCI-DSS. The cloud console allows great flexibility when managing and making agile changes that the business requires.

Likelihood to Recommend

<div>This email protection product can help you especially when you have an email service, such as office 365 or Google. I believe this because we managed to separate email management from antispam management.</div><div>Although it is applicable when you have mail on premises, I think it makes more sense to use a local tool there. This will allow you to receive onpremise mail from the start.</div>

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

All organizations have email filtering and product protection..We have 200 mailboxes in 365 and some on-premise as well.

Likelihood to Recommend

Good product for organizations with small IT teams. Very easy deployment and management

for more complex solutions. We are missing some ability to maintain filtering policies with specific rules
