Comments on our product from Forrester:
Sophos delivers the most enterprise-friendly SaaS endpoint security suite. Sophos offers a tightly integrated suite of endpoint security capabilities, with a good balance of advanced threat prevention, detection, and automatic remediation. Buyers will appreciate its intuitive administrative interface along with the flexibility and scalability required for most enterprise deployments, both large and small. Sophos is also one of the few endpoint security suite vendors in this Forrester. Wave to offer a full-featured suite either on-premises or through a SaaS-based service. However,the solution’s lack of patch management and flexible application default-deny whitelisting options for employee devices may be an issue for some enterprise buyers. Overall, customers report a high level of satisfaction with the product’s effectiveness, with minimal detriment to endpoint user experience. In a field crowded with both new and legacy endpoint
security technologies, Sophos’ road map to develop strong signatureless prevention and detection capabilities (including the new Intercept X product, released after the Forrester Wave cutoff date but prior to publication) should make the product highly competitive over the long term. We also would like to highlight few points that may differ from the results in 3rd Party tests.
1) AV-Comparatives do not test Intercept X: only Endpoint Protection Advanced for Windows is included in this report
2) AV-Comparatives testing methodology does not accurately reflect real world scenarios.
3) AV-Comparatives testing often focuses on apps and potentially unwanted apps seen in the consumer space, not reflective of Sophos Endpoint Protection customer environments.
4) The testing methodology used does not invoke all of the protection capabilities of Endpoint Protection Advanced
5) We continue to work with AV-Comparatives and wish to help them improve their testing methodology to better match real-world scenarios, thus providing more valuable to customer |
