    Sophos Central Review

    Reviewed on Jun 06, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    The ease of installation is notable. Once you have access to the central dashboard, you just need to download the appropriate .exe file for your operating system and install it on the server with just a few clicks. The rest is handled automatically by the software.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Sometimes, it does not uninstall properly. In such cases, we need to start the Windows server in Safe Mode and make certain changes to the Sophos service. However, customers often hesitate to proceed with this step, as it requires significant downtime
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    For me and my environment, it solves a key problem: a developer or IT personnel managing the client’s server cannot uninstall the software without informing us, as uninstalling or disabling the product requires a tamper protection password. I also appreciate the Sophos Lockdown feature—once enabled, only whitelisted programs can run or open, and no other software can be installed on the server without prior approval from us.

    Sophos Central EDR solution and its policy implementation
    What do you dislike about the product?
    None as of now, however, would suggest if same policies with different configurations are merged into one for efficiency.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Sophos EDR is helping us establish strong endpoint security measures and supporting a comprehensive access management control.

    Customization and AI features streamline team efficiency and save time

    Reviewed on May 12, 2025
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    I am using Sophos Central , which I was calling to clarify for our platform, PeerSpot.

    What is most valuable?

    For Sophos Central , basically everything we need is all in one place.

    Regarding the features of this tool, I find it very good for small teams because you can customize it. The dashboard can be customized to however you want to view things.

    The threat prevention is quite useful, with the AI feature they added onto it being really good.

    The AI features in Sophos Central help you with investigating any issues, as you can get it to look at the logs for you, and it gives you good feedback on a summary of what it actually has found.

    The synchronization technology benefits our security operations, and hopefully we are still up and running after today as well.

    It saves us a lot of time, in the sense that we just need one screen to look at. Because it is customized, it shows us what we want to see.

    What needs improvement?

    As a user, I suggest improving Sophos Central by addressing some error messages we occasionally encounter that we just do not know what they relate to, even when it says it has resolved them.

    To improve this, I recommend having more transparency on auto fix, the things that it fixes itself or resolves itself, just to know what it was resolving.

    There should be more transparency on auto fix, such as messaging or alerts when it fixes itself or if it breaks itself.

    Sometimes it is not very clear because it is working in the background. That is better if the AI is supposed to, but it says, 'We have resolved this.' I wonder what the actual problem was.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using it for nearly six years.

    What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

    It is easy to scale for a larger number of users because we have purchased licenses regularly to expand when we expand.

    There are no problems with scalability at all because as we get more people, we just add another item or Sophos appliances, and then we are good to go.

    We only faced a couple of minor issues during the last upgrade when we went from 18 to 20, but those got sorted out because of configuration, or how things are done differently. Nothing major.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I would rate the stability as pretty stable.

    I would rate it a 10 because it is very rarely down.

    The biggest benefit of Sophos Central for me is that it works.

    Regarding reliability, you do not know until you have a problem, but we have not had anything major or any problems at the moment, so hopefully that will continue.

    I would give a rating of nine out of ten for Sophos Central.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It is easy to scale for a larger number of users because we have purchased licenses regularly to expand when we expand.

    There are no problems with scalability at all because as we get more people, we just add another item or Sophos appliances, and then we are good to go.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not contacted Sophos support for any issues regarding Sophos Central, as we usually get notifications when Sophos Central is going to go down, so we know when it is not available.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    Before working with Sophos Central, we were on WatchGuard.

    I have seen advantages with Sophos Central compared with WatchGuard, as it made a big difference.

    How was the initial setup?

    The setup was not easy to set up Sophos Central for us personally because we had a third party who worked with Sophos quite a lot, so they set it up. We just maintain and use it.

    What about the implementation team?

    During deployment, I was with the engineers when they were installing it.

    What was our ROI?

    The biggest benefit of Sophos Central for me is that it works.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    As we get more people, we just add another item or Sophos appliances, and then we are good to go.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I find that Sophos Central is comparable with other systems.

    What other advice do I have?

    Sophos Central gains efficiency because everything is all in one screen that we need to observe.

    It is easier to customize Sophos Central to our needs, so it shows us what we need to know when we need it.

    I recommend Sophos Central to anybody who is trying to manage anything with diverse security.

    The biggest benefit of Sophos Central for me is that it works.

    I rate Sophos Central nine out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Hybrid Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
