Total Peace of Mind with Sophos MDR: 24/7 Security and Clear Alerts
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Sophos MDR is that, essentially, I have a team of cybersecurity experts watching my network 24/7, without needing to hire my own staff. Let's be honest: I don't have the budget or the knowledge to maintain a security team that is alert at 3 in the morning monitoring threats.
What really gives me peace of mind is that they not only detect suspicious activities, but they also act immediately. I've been through a couple of situations where they notified me that they had blocked something suspicious and had already taken action before I even found out. It's like having a digital bodyguard that never rests.
Moreover, something that seems simple but is extremely valuable: the alerts I receive make sense. It's not a bombardment of incomprehensible technical notifications that only overwhelm. They clearly explain what happened, what actions they took, and if I need to do anything on my part. For someone who doesn't work in cybersecurity all day, that's priceless. It allows me to focus on my business, knowing that aspect is in the hands of professionals.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, what impacts me the most is the price. It's not cheap at all, and for a small or medium-sized company like ours, it represents a considerable investment that really affects the monthly budget. Sometimes I question whether we really need such a high level of protection or if we're overpaying, although then I remember the scares we've had and my doubts fade away.
Another thing that frustrates me is the feeling of being too dependent on them. I feel like I've lost some direct control over our own infrastructure. If I want to make any changes or adjust the security settings, I have to request it from their team. Although they usually respond quickly, it's not the same as being able to do it myself at the moment I need it.
Also, at the beginning, the learning curve was quite steep. We had to modify some internal processes and there was some friction with the IT team, as they felt they were being "replaced" or supervised. That created tensions that we had to resolve with a lot of diplomacy.
Lastly, the monthly reports are sometimes too technical. When I have to present them to the board of directors, they don't want to see terms like "IOCs" or "lateral movement"; what they want to know, in clear and simple Spanish, is whether we are protected or not.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sophos MDR solves my biggest problem: not having the staff or specialized knowledge to defend my company from real cyber attacks. Before hiring them, I slept poorly thinking "what if we get hacked tomorrow and we don't even realize it until it's too late?" We had basic antivirus, firewall, the usual, but I knew that was no longer enough with how sophisticated attacks are nowadays.
The direct benefit is that now I have an expert team actively hunting threats in my network. They don't wait for an alarm to go off - they are looking for strange behaviors, suspicious patterns, things I would never know how to identify. A few months ago they detected a ransomware attempt that was silently moving through the network. They neutralized it before it encrypted anything. If we had relied solely on our internal team, we probably would have realized it when everything was already encrypted and with a ransom note on the screen.
It also solves the problem of regulatory compliance. I work with sensitive customer data and need to demonstrate that I have serious security measures. Sophos MDR gives me the documentation and reports I need for audits and certifications.
And perhaps the most valuable: it gives me time. Before, my IT manager spent his time putting out security fires. Now he can focus on projects that really grow the business, while Sophos takes care of keeping us protected. That's a return on investment that doesn't appear on any spreadsheet but that I feel every day.

Peace of Mind with Proactive Human Oversight
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is peace of mind. The human layer on top of software detection so that if something is off, its investigated instead of juust generating noise.
What do you dislike about the product?
Obviously cost is an isssue, it's much more pricey than some other services. Also, there's a pretty big learning curve especially if you're not already in the Sophos ecosystem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sophos MDR solves the problem of limited time and expertise to monitor and respond to threats around the clock. We're able to deploy enterprise level protection to smaller businesses and it adds a credibility to my team.
Quick Response and 24/7 Monitoring that Provide Peace of Mind
What do you like best about the product?
What I value most about Sophos MDR is the speed with which it identifies and responds to incidents. The team conducts constant monitoring 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and maintains clear communication, which gives me a lot of peace of mind and helps reduce risks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that doesn't convince me is that certain notifications are somewhat technical, and to understand all the details, it's necessary to check the console. It would be better if it were more accessible for those who don't have technical knowledge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sophos MDR has allowed us to identify and respond to threats in real time, something we couldn't achieve as quickly internally. Thanks to this, we have reduced risks, avoided serious incidents, and can operate more securely without the need for our own SOC.
Effortless 24/7 Cybersecurity Monitoring for Our Clients
What do you like best about the product?
It helps us keep eyes on our clients' cybersecurity 24/7 without actually having to use internal staff to do so.
What do you dislike about the product?
No real downsides that I've noticed. There's a little extra setup involved but nothing major.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It essentially monitors our clients for us, using actual humans and not just predefined alert systems, which gives us more peace of mind for our clients' cybersecurity.
Solid Security Integration with High Resource Usage
What do you like best about the product?
I truly appreciate the seamless integration Sophos MDR offers with our existing Sophos products, making deployment hassle-free and straightforward. The 24/7 security coverage provides continuous monitoring and alerts us promptly to any suspicious activity, ensuring our network's safety and allowing us to track and resolve issues efficiently. The daily custom email reports further enhance our operational efficiency by keeping us regularly informed. Additionally, Sophos MDR's ability to lock down machines quickly when needed adds an extra layer of security and peace of mind.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how resource-intensive the product is, as the agent seems to use a lot of resources on machines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Sophos MDR provides necessary security posture and alerts us to user activities, enhancing our security operations and giving us confidence in monitoring and threat detection.
Efficient and Responsive MDR Solution

Sophos MDR: Expert Security You Can Trust
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Sophos MDR provides round-the-clock monitoring by real experts who not only detect threats but also take action to stop them. It feels like having a full security operations center on my side, without the need to hire one in-house. What impressed me the most about Sophos MDR is how seamlessly it blends human expertise with technology-driven insights. Instead of only relying on automated alerts, their team actively investigates unusual activities, which eliminates the typical "alert fatigue" many IT teams face. It feels less like outsourcing a service and more like extending your security team with highly skilled professionals.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there’s very little to dislike about Sophos MDR. If I had to mention one thing, it would be that sometimes the detailed reports can be very technical for non-IT stakeholders. However, this is a minor point, as the team always provides clear explanations and guidance
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sophos MDR solves the problem of alert overload and limited visibility into threats. Instead of my team chasing false positives, Sophos experts investigate and respond immediately. This reduces downtime, improves security confidence, and allows us to focus on business growth instead of chasing incidents.
Very positive
