Overall Satisfaction with Sophos Endpoint Protection

Sophos EndPoint is currently being utilized across the whole organization on all leased/purchased Windows based computers. It is deployed via scripting in Group Policy for OUs. It is providing adequate protection on our endpoints and provides peace of mind to end users knowing that their work PCs are being actively scanned for threats.
  • Deployment and implementation was relatively easy to do
  • Reporting of issues to users via the desktop app and steps taken to remedy
  • The application just seems bloated and resource hungry. Four different app listings in programs and features for this protection.
  • Malware remediation could be better. Doesn't remove infections of this type well.
I preferred the management console of Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection and the deployment capabilities of both were very similar. However, it was not my decision to make on which product to implement. I was only a tester of the product and reported back my preferences. Sophos appears to encompass more protection options than Malwarebytes.
For larger enterprises, the deployment capabilities of this protection suite are well suited. If you are in a smaller business or IT shop there are probably other more cost-effective and better-suited protection suites available.
