Are you satisfied with Sophos Support?

It will soon be six years since FK first posted his complaint and nothing seems to have changed.

I am profoundly unhappy with Sophos Support and with its management. Yesterday I wrote the CEO, Kris Hagerman, “Your Vice President for EMEA Sales has ignored all my messages. The manager of your Asia Pacific region refuses to let me have the license activation key of the Sophos Full Guard License that I paid for when I bought your XG85 firewall from your local reseller, who charged me four times the U.S. or U.K. price for it. We have come to a crossroads. You are obviously unable or unwilling to provide me with the level of customer satisfaction and support that your reseller led me to believe I was paying for when he recently sold me your XG85 firewall and your Full Guard License. I therefore respectfully suggest that we end our business relationship. I shall return your product to your reseller and he will refund my payment in full. Both you and I will heave a sigh of relief.”

Mr. Hagerman has not bothered to answer me. He had led Corel and Symantec before moving to Sophos. I have been a loyal and happy customer (and beta tester) of both these companies for decades. I had hoped that with Kris Hagerman at the helm, Sophos would improve. Alas, this is not the case.

Unless there is a response from Sophos management, I plan to post this message on every website that deals with Sophos and its “service” to its customers.
