“EDR Platform Struggles to Offer Latest Tech Amidst Basic Security”

3.0
Sep 10, 2025
Attention: This is my experience using Sophos for the last 5 years. Last month, may 2024, I've changed to another leader product. Basic EDR: Delivers the baseline protection you need to start. Anything beyond that is not receptive. It's out of standards, does not bring, innovation, or any disruptive technology. It's a simple and really dated EDR. This was something that always caught my attention, because as EDR platform it needs bringing new ways of detections, AI for example, to fight against new threats. But it doesn't. It stopped in the past. In general, it fulfills its role, but requires a LOT of processor, a LOT of memory and countless applications that are installed to deliver basic things, like file sanitation.

Like

I especially liked how it reports blocked content and shows you the true nature of the files.

Dislike

1.overwhelming Alerts : Sophos Intercept XDR may generate a high volume of alerts which can overwhelm security teams and make it challenging to priortize and respond to legitimate threats effectively. 2.Support : Sophos XDR challenges with response times or the effectiveness of support resources leads to frustration during critical incidents . 3. User interface is not user friendly compared to other cybersecurity platforms .

Dislike

Doesn't support Win7, Win Server 2008 and 2012; High use of CPU and Memory; Application crashes every time, if the device OS is not updated; Bunch of applications running at the same time; Still need scans and daily application updates to establish connections with Central;

Dislike

Unfortunately I wasnt satisfied with the maintenance service.There may not be an issue with sophos in our company right now but I would have liked at least some chechs and evaluations to be done so that we could be prepared in advance.No one ever reached out to ask us how things were going or if we needed maintenance. It seems that here its either sophos is working or it's not.(This is a complaint for the Turket distributor.)

    Maintenance Service Lacks Proactive Checks Despite Effective Application Blocking

    Oct 21, 2025
    As the IT department it has greatly facilitated our work and we are very satisfied.Sometimes it even surprise us by blocking applications that we considered completely reliable.When I look into the reasons I can see that it was actually justified in blocking them.
