Garbage Garbage. Worked at first, but since early 2023 has increasingly slowed down my mac (which is kept up to date) and all its applications. Causes spinning beach balls. Crashes applications. It has been uninstalled and reinstalled. It was set it up as instructed. It was updated. All to no avail. On the last reinstall, it blocked all web access, so I couldn't even make changes to the web-based preference board. I had to uninstall it to get back online. Avoid this at all costs.

No concept of customer service I had been using Reflection email filtering software for many years which came to 'end of life' on 31st March 2023. I asked Sophos what their suggested replacement was and they promised to get their 'senior CAM' to 'loop up' and 'reach out' to me (yuch!) in order to get one of their ISPs to sell me their new product. Incredibly 4 people were involved with this and surprise surprise - I never heard from them again. So that's there approach to customer service in a nutshell!

They cold call me every day Somebody from Sophos has been cold calling me virtually every day for the past month despite me never having been a customer. I have repeatedly asked to have my data erased under GDPR laws but to no avail. The calls come from different mobile and landline numbers as well as withheld numbers so are difficult to ignore when you are expecting other important calls. Pretty ironic for a company publishing blogs about stopping cold callers and scammers.

From Well Respected Leader to another corporate pusher (seller) Their home offering was good, but the recent changes have made it into golden wrapped crap. Official updates for Java development (oracle), The Document foundations Libreoffice.org, Apache foundations apps and much more OFFICIAL app installers and updates are blocked by thier AI, and Exploit mitigation, the program is so highly sensitive that its changed my mind from renewing and submitting samples to literally wanting to uninstall it as soon as my paid period is up. An AV should not INTERFERE with Daily operations!, an AV should have some LOCALIZED control in its agent not having to continuously connect to the cloud to apply a rule, why not make the agent sync with the cloud? Why is support not usefull but a bunch of wasted time? why can't i control my account not to auto-renew? without having to go to third-party billing partners? why has sophos went with the american (greed) profits model and quality has gone to the dogs? what happened to the Brits model of providing a decent offering?

Shocking support since it was moved Shocking support since it was moved, i wont be renewing, there is no support, all they do is email cant speak english, i cant understand their mumbling at all. Dont purchase their products you wont have support in english.
