Select Customer Reviews

  • “Sophos MDR is a must. My team is small, and it's great knowing if we're all busy putting out IT fires, MDR is ready to take action if my team is unable to respond immediately to suspicious activity. This is much better than relying on alerts that we need to investigate. Of course, we have alerts enabled, but setting the thresholds for the alerts is nearly impossible. The alerts are either not sensitive enough and we'll miss something important, or the alerts are too sensitive and we receive too many to investigate. Sophos MDR didn't just solve this problem; it completely removed it,” said a mid-market customer

  • “The 24/7 threat-hunting service from Sophos MDR stands out as a feature of utmost importance, providing around-the-clock vigilance and prompt reaction to emerging threats. Its true value lies in the managed remediation process – unlike other solutions that merely notify, Sophos steps in to effectively stop and rectify the issue and then informs us about the incident. This proactive and hands-on approach is what sets Sophos MDR apart and makes it a highly appreciated solution,” said a mid-market customer

  • “…a real threat for hackers !!! [Intercept X] is easy to use and has a lot of the world’s best technologies. CryptoGuard feature is the essential feature,” said a mid-market customer

  • “[Intercept X] provides a comprehensive solution with AI and machine learning-based detections and prevention” said a mid-market customer

  • “Overall, Sophos Firewall is a robust security solution that offers advanced threat protection, easy management, and granular control over your network traffic.
