Grrreat app for MALWARE
Moloko!
This is a great app for malware and has done a wonderful job of keeping my device secure! It’s the security equivalent of letting Cruella De Vil watch your new litter of Dalmatian puppies. I had the software on two MacBooks and it like all security software requires full disk access. A very professional tech remotely accessed my MacBook to install the software properly. There were windows of code flying around everywhere. The software to remotely access my Mac remained , 1mo later I noticed an identical looking icon for sophos right next to the original one. Trust this app as Nicole should have trusted OJ. Hope this helps!

Where’s “App Security”? I seem to not be able to find that option. I don’t think there’s much security that comes with this application.
Easily worst software product I have ever used

I have installed Sophos Home Premium for MacOS and Sophos Intercept X for iPad and iPhone. I don’t often bother to write reviews, but this product is so bad, I felt I had to. The MacOS version is completely unstable. Frequently stopped working because the extensions somehow disappeared. Trying to reinstall those extensions is a half-day project in hairpulling. The mobile versions, as far as I can tell, are useless. But the worst was their chat feature for getting technical help. Waiting in line for 60 minutes to initiate a chat, then having the chat box just disappear with a message that no one is available right now. My second experience with chat got me to someone who told me that he doesn’t help home customers. Incredible. If you are an enterprise customer, I imagine your experience is different. I am a home premium customer, I actually paid for this product. I was given a horrific mess of a product and really bad customer support.
Can’t save changes

Can’t tell if it’s useful

I have three WiFi networks in my home using the same brand and model of hotpoint and all on bridge mode connected by ethernet to the same wired router. I have gotten several notifications from Sophos Intercept X on my iPhone that some sort of risk exists with respect to one of the networks and always the same network but not always the same issue. Intercept X always recommends disconnecting from the network (a pretty useless recommendation when by itself), but when I immediately re-connect there is no warning from Intercept X. Sophos Home Premium on my laptop has never issued a warning. To be useful, warnings from Intercept X should offer a means of preventing said problem, not just a recommendation to quit using WiFi. And what product should I believe: Intercept X or Sophos Home Premium? In its defense, Intercept X is free, but I’ll probably just remove It from my iPhone to eliminate what has become an annoyance.
Delete ASAP

This app has done nothing to make my iPhone any more secure than it was before! It’s absolute garbage. Deleting today.
Hands down the best

This is the best on all platforms. I feel safe with Sophos. If you want top notch protection look no further.
A couple issues but good

We use Sophos corporate wide and I love the fact that a password manager and Authenticator are built in to an app that can be used for personal use. The only 2 issues that I have is with the password manager. It takes an unnecessary long time to open the password db every time and the password database doesn’t seem to save or able to open files from one drive or google drive. It can import the file just not really interact with it in the cloud. I want Sophos as my mobile password manager but due to the 10 second open lag I don’t know if it’s going to be feasible.
Not very useful

I'm a huge Sophos fan, I manage many instances of their UTM and XG firewall. I was excited to see an iOS offering, but there isn't much functionality to get excited about. I realize that Apple's walled garden makes security apps hard to create, but if this is all the functionality this app will ever have your time and effort is better put towards your other products that are highly useful. Again, Sophos is my go-to source for security, and I highly recommend your other products, but this app has missed the mark. If u are going to put in on time passwords, something password managers already do, then u need to add the ability to manage password or there is no real reason to choose your app over the others. iOS already clobbers users with iOS update notifications, so this is another redundant feature already handle well by stock iOS features. This leaves us with only one really useable feature - the QR code scanner. I have a lot of faith in Sophos and I know you can and will do better in the future
