Sophos seems to do its job well Sophos seems to do its job well. (And, it plays well with others.) On my previous machine -- a 5-year-old iMac, the start-up sequence would sometimes stick while showing a message box from Sophos. This required a re-start. So far, no problem with a new Mac-Mini running OS 12.6. (Note: I do not like forcing a reviewer to accept Terms and Conditions before system accepts the review.)

WE have been using Sophos for years WE have been using Sophos for years. This program seems to be the real deal, as far as protecting computers from being hacked. We have never had a problem with it. It seems to work seamlessly behind the scenes, finds and flags anything malicious, and notifies you immediately what threats there are. It is a valuable tool to have.

Sophos just works. Purchased Sophos because it was the system used by my employers and once we all started working from home I had to ensure that my security was at least as good as theirs. This product has never ceased to impress. The corporate version is installed on hundreds of our machines worldwide and it just works. On my home machines it is the same. I get the odd alert but it just tidies up problems and removes threats without making a drama. I’ve worked in IT for 25 years after working for over 20 years in banking so I’m somewhat obsessed with security. Sophos is the perfect partner.

Issues with Mac OS Big Sur I have been a Sophs customer for several years and subscribe to the Home Premium service. Since my upgrade to Apples Big Sur OS 11.7 I have several times experienced the red shield while indicates no Sophos protection. I also was unable to use the scan function, after malware was detected. Not sure if it is an Apple, or Sophos issue. The chat system is somewhat helpful, but not always. It could be an Apple issue or Sophos, and all I know is that as the end user I have to deal with it. A re start of the Mac seems to clear the issues. I would like a simple to manage protection service that has a consistent level of quality performance.

Super value and super smooth service :-) I have used Sophos on my Macs since 2014, first the free version but since 2019 the very reasonably priced Sophos Home. After moving to MacOS 14, I had a problem getting Sophos to work on my wife's computer, but that issue was solved quickly and competently by the Sophos support team. Really excellent service - much better than what we often get for much higher priced software. Well done Sophos :-)
