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.)

Time for a redesign

The whole system needs to be redesigned too much reliance on artifical intelligence which does not help. I have sent numerous emails and keep getting useless replies.

As safe as Apple OS and iOS is (which I use), it is common knowledge that computers (be they Windows, Mac or Linux based) are vulnerable to malicious hacks as well. (be they viruses, attacks, etc.). It just makes sense to add an extra layer of security. Sophos is used by so many of the world"s leading companies to protect their data. Why wouldn't I want to get the same sense of security. That's why I chose Sophos. I get live alerts and online services that are world leading. Happy customer!

Sophos does what it is supposed to

... you ask me how I appreciate this service. Unfortunately, the protection program runs unnoticed in the background and I can not notice anything negative about virus attacks or anything else. I hope the software continues to work correctly and does what it is supposed to. I really appreciate the Sophos program. Best regards Harry

The system is good and extremely simple for the end user. It will be good to have a window to be able to see firewall interaction and processes from the Sophos platform, nothing to fancy but enough to know what is interacting with my computer. Thank you for all you guys do, the cyber world will be a mess without you.
