![]() And I mean more than just the "Threat Protection" policy, i sat once through one of my customers Director of IT complaining about no Application Control working, and when we brought up the dashboard he had never even configured it.Ģ) I have deployed UTMs, SG UTMs and now their XG line of solutions, and honestly the XG line needs some love, but again, properly configured, works a treat. But when you properly configure the primary policies, your in a good place, only adding exceptions where needed. I would say that 99% of issues with Sophos products from what I have seen in the wild over the past years are:ġ) Users cannot be left to configure the policies, the IT provider or dept needs to do it because the user doesn't know what they should do. Support can be pots, no doubt there, but I have been using their solutions for almost 2 decades now, and I have watched it consistently stop threats, bad(no, terrible) user habits, web threats, and every ransomware attempt against it. Never used the SSVM version from Sophos, but I can say with absolute certainty, they are not as bad as you say. Hopefully if we all band together, we can dumpster the company too. You get better support for Opnsense by posting on Reddit than you do for Sophos products by actually calling them. You're right Sophos! A call center doesn't need phones.ĭo yourself and everyone you know a favor and consistently migrate away from these shitty products. The "Well it blocks it for your own good" approach is great until it starts blocking your phones. Only the Antivirus software is left and it's next on my hitlist. ![]() ![]() I have successfully pulled our Sophos APs and Firewalls out. So why should I trust it now that it's Sophos behind it? I routinely tell any vendor that says that their products internally use Sophos anything to pound sand now. It's actually 3 pieces of trash that they purchased because those products couldn't survive in the market because they weren't good. That sounds like it'll work its self out.Īlso their antivirus program is a piece of trash. I'm not sure if I want to trust my data to a firewall with an out-of-spec processor and no ECC memory. You'll all be happy to know that their firewalls are factory overclocked Core i5 systems in a lot of cases. I recently had the opportunity to rip apart a Sophos firewall. I've come in here and railed on Sophos a few times before. I am getting the tech to update the ticket and will get confirmation of this What was their solution? Like all other security flaws, they ask me to put in a “Feature Request”. And their lack of security expertise always leaves me with the worry this product is a liability to the company. This is yet another feature and functionality lost with migrating to Sophos Central. What if a Virus’ came through a local source? File or document that is read only? We would never know because it was cleaned up on the client end. Sorry it wont detect that and email you.ĭidn’t ask but I should have to make an even better point. ![]() What if they were going to bad websites and I need to block an uncategorized website that spreads Virus’. Then why make a SSVM for Sophos Central? Sales pitch garbage. What if another zero day virus comes in with this one? Didn’t have an answer except to have the full client on instead of using SSVM. He had to say my name because there was a good 10seconds of dead air.Įventually I blew all his arguments he tried to throw at me, which sounded like canned ones. They specifically told me, “Why would you want an email for something that was already taken care of?” We Migrated a test VDI pool to SSVM for Sophos Central which scans virtual machines. So I am was put in complete shock talking to the Sophos technical support rep. This is an email I sent out to my superiors.
