Pros Sophos is a great antivirus defense for mac users, I recommend everyone getting it install, it is constantly in the background working and is the best defense that I have used Cons The only con that I would say is that it constantly sends notifications and even if you mute them it only mutes them for a few hours Review Source GS Grzegorz S.

IT Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sophos end point in a small business" February 10, 2017 4.0 The primary reason for choosing this is the recommendation from our IT support vendor who also manages security. Im thankful for that as I find the interface is not as intuitive as other security products Ive used. Review Source GB Gary B. System Administrator Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good protection" November 26, 2018 4.0 We began using Sophos after a severe Ransomware attack, and it has done an excellent job in keeping us protected. Pros It is easy to install from one single file. Cons Our systems were monitored by a third party, and we had no way of controlling our own installations if there were issues. There was no way for us to forcibly take control if necessary. Review Source MP Manuel P.

Network Technician Computer Networking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sophos provides great antivirus protection" December 2, 2018 4.0 Our experience with Sophos has been mixed. While I love the fact that it catches infections considerably more than other solutions, it is much more resource intensive, especially their cloud option. When recommending Sophos, we really need to take into account the age of the computer. Older computers have come to a screeching halt after installing Sophos, while much newer computers, you can't even tell it's there until it catches something. It's not at all bloated in terms of including unnecessary tools and utilities. It protects you against viruses and it's extremely good at it. Pros The thing that I like most about Sophos is how reliable it is at protecting our systems. We have used other antivirus solutions in the past and they didn't catch anything. We had to deal with a number of ransomware infections before Sophos. Since switching, it has caught nearly everything it's run into. Cons The firewall portion is a little confusing to understand and also doesn't have that many features. While our old antivirus solution had a much more robust firewall, Sophos' firewall does not offer nearly as many options, such as a website whitelist. Review Source AA Ali A.

Pros We have better functionality and support since moving over from our previous provider Cons Sometimes a bit too "protective" and doesn't allow to access certain safe sites Review Source DE Dima E. Online Tax Team Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good protection measure ." August 17, 2018 5.0 Pros Sophos is pleasant to look at and works unnoticed on the background. It is a really unobtrusive anti-virus ,which for me is the biggest plus of the program . Cons You need an IT department or someone computer savvy to properly set up the program parameters at the beginning. Review Source VW Victor W. Online Tax Team Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Lets me do my work . " January 16, 2019 5.0 Pros Sophos works seamlessly in the background ,and it doesn't interrupt any of the work I am doing at the time .The scans are extensive and I haven't had any issues with potential threats .
