Stable but bad technical support, and an out of date database

Offers advanced filtering features and benefits from improved licensing and performance
There is a licensing issue with Intercept X Endpoint. Their licenses are user-based. Most of our customers use per device licenses, and they need per device licenses because they use one PC for multiple accounts. This creates a problem. There was one customer who complained about the slowness of PCs using Intercept X Endpoint. They use minor performance PCs, which causes their PCs to become slow.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution has exchange protection. It has a content control, device control, a firewall, and anti-malware as well. They are all quite valuable features for us."
"The endpoint protection is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I like the simplicity of this solution and the fact that it saves us time. The deployment was really straightforward and useful and I am impressed by the anti-virus endpoint detection and response offered by this solution."
"Its AI algorithms provide excellent protection against attackers."
"Sophos Intercept X is easy to install and has a lower price than similar solutions."
"The dashboard is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Sophos Intercept X are the minimal configuration needed for the end user and the central view of all the endpoints. There are plenty of tools to control and manage the endpoints. Additionally, there is the capability of connecting the endpoint to the CLI."
"It is stable and has a good price. I find it very good."
"This product integrates well with Sophos firewalls and should be seriously considered by Sophos Firewall clients."
"The most valuable feature is the supervisory side of it where we can watch the throughputs, and even the loading of the device, to see how much traffic is happening."
"It is stable."
 

Cons

"The database needs improvement. It needs to be updated quite a bit."
"There are blurred lines between anti-virus and endpoint detection so I would say it can be confusing when you are considering buying this program. I would like to see that being explained better to the customer."
"There needs to be better integration with the environment. Especially, for the active directory and also for keeping up with the changes from Microsoft. We use a lot of Microsoft OS. I have noted that sometimes they lag behind Microsoft updates. For example, when with Windows 10. I had some issues with deploying to Windows 10 because the solution was behind in updating their own services to match the Microsoft release."
"The number one thing I would like is if their support could be a little faster and it would be a little easier to get a hold of support when you need them."
"They don't have the full stack of offerings as compared to the other competitive products that we see."
"Technical support can be improved. There could be shared support, i.e. where someone in Egypt can respond."
"Intercept X Endpoint's anti-ransomware capabilities failed us during a bad attack, and just because of our own backup policies, we could restore our normal operations; otherwise, if we had to depend on this solution, we would have been long dead because the infection was so bad, it couldn't even detect the infection."
"It could be a bit easier to implement."
"There is some issue with the reporting and refreshing information on resources that have been eliminated."
"Intercept X Endpoint sometimes slows down machines due to high CPU utilization and significant RAM consumption during scanning."
"The choices offered for the on-premises and cloud-based platforms are the reverse of each other."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There's a yearly cost for licensing. For us, that comes to $1,400. There are no additional costs beyond the license itself."
"The solution offers both a three-year license and an annual license. I would rate the product's pricing a one out of ten."
"I find the pricing to be a little bit expensive, although it is acceptable, for now."
"The pricing is average for software like this, but you can purchase additional services if you wish."
"As I am not responsible for paying the bills I cannot comment on the pricing."
"Price-wise, it is good. Currently, we have a three-year plan."
"We are happy with the pricing across all Sophos products."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."
"Its price depends on the scenario. It is very expensive, but it is not more expensive than other vendors. The price of Check Point and other vendors is much higher than Sophos."
