Review platforms like G2 play a vital role in empowering consumers, ensuring accountability among businesses, and fostering innovation and competition in the market. These platforms allow users to express genuine and unfiltered opinions about products and services, offering potential buyers insights based on real user experiences rather than just marketing content. The transparency provided by reviews motivates companies to consistently enhance their products and customer support.
Supervising Detection and Response
With Sophos MDR, more than 26,000 customers have optimized their cybersecurity investments. Apart from securing the #1 position in the MDR category, Sophos MDR also earned top ratings in seven additional report segments, such as the Overall, Enterprise, and Mid-Market Grids, and received distinctions for Best Results and Best Usability in the Enterprise and Mid-Market categories.
Endpoint Detection and Response/Extended Detection and Response
In the Winter 2025 Reports, Sophos EDR/XDR was recognized as a Leader across five different segments, which encompass the Overall, Enterprise, Mid-Market, and Small Business Grids, and also hailed as an Overall Momentum Leader.
Security Barrier
Besides being crowned as the top Firewall solution overall, Sophos Firewall stood out as the best firewall solution among Mid-Market and Enterprise users. All four user segments (Overall, Small Business, Mid-Market, and Enterprise) identified Sophos Firewall as a Leader in their respective G2 Grid Reports.
External Third-party Validation
The accolades from the G2 Winter 2025 Reports follow another significant report based on user reviews, Gartner’s 2024 Voice of the Customer for Managed Detection and Response, where Sophos was recognized as the Customers’ Choice vendor with the highest rating and the most user reviews featured in the report.
In the same vein, Sophos was the exclusive cybersecurity vendor honored as a Customers’ Choice across the Endpoint Protection Platforms, Network Firewalls, and MDR markets in 2024 on Gartner Peer Insights, showcasing Sophos’ aptitude in delivering end-to-end security solutions for organizations of all sizes.
Moreover, it’s not just our customers who are praising Sophos protection. Recently, MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations, a reputable independent security testing entity, released their 2024 MITRE ATT&CK® Evaluations: Enterprise. Sophos XDR successfully detected 100% of the adversary behaviors in attack scenarios targeting Windows and Linux platforms, mirroring malicious activities from ransomware-as-a-service groups like LockBit and CL0P. Sophos’ responses to these ransomware attack scenarios earned the highest rating “technique,” indicating a comprehensive understanding of the attacks’ modus operandi.
