We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The solution is not stable."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."

"Intelligence aspects need improvement"

"Sophos is lacking in the granularity of optimization, so having more control would be better."
"In my country, having an on-premises deployment model is preferred. In this part of the world, on-premises is still the way many companies want to go. Therefore, they should supply some sort of option that allows for that reality."
"There could be enhancements made to the DLP."
"Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The support could be improved. The response times are slow."
"The management console need improvement."
"The user interface is not responsive."
