Have faced integration challenges but continue to benefit from strong security and proactive response features
The biggest advantage of the product, as I see it as a reseller, is its security and reporting. The automated incident response feature in Comodo MDR works fantastic. When customers install custom tailor-made software which is not recognized by Comodo MDR endpoint detection response tool, it runs in an isolated environment, virtual environment, sandbox environment. If it determines that this software is not secure, not verified, or not approved by system admin, it blocks the software immediately. The software will not run, and it sends a report to the admin email instantly. If there is any issue with the software or if any incident such as a malware attack or ransomware attack is happening, or something is trying to make changes to the system files, it immediately blocks the software tool and reports back to the admin. As a reseller partner and secondary admin for the customers, my team and I directly receive a mail, and we take control of that machine. It even blocks complete network access to that machine. On the hardware side, if there is a hard disk full or RAM 90% usage or CPU 90% usage or any of these incidents, we set up an alert notification option for it. The moment these incidents occur, it sends an alert so we can recommend customers upgrade their hardware or check if there is any malfunctioning software consuming too much RAM and CPU. This incident response use case helps us keep customer machines' performance to the maximum. The 24/7 monitoring capability supports a lot in contributing to our cybersecurity strategy. It is very much compatible with our goal.

Has struggled to detect major threats but has offered basic protection over time
Intercept X Endpoint could learn from CrowdStrike in terms of overall performance and filtering because performance is most important, especially these days as Windows is getting buggier and buggier, which puts a huge load on the PC, and even with the most advanced CPUs and everything in place, it still lags in performance in so many places, thanks to Windows' clumsy design of these collaboration suites that make it extremely heavy on PC's resources. The interface of Intercept X Endpoint is quite old-fashioned. The Sophos interfaces, including for Intercept X Endpoint, are quite bad actually; to be very honest, even in UTM boxes, they are not great at all. You can hardly see a very small portion of windows while it's creating the firewall rules, and we have been complaining about this for quite some time, but there hasn't been any improvement on those grounds. 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. Intercept X Endpoint cannot handle zero-day attacks; in my experience, last year, we had this major issue with a malware attack, and it happened just because of our backup policies that we were able to recover without any support from Sophos, which just told us they would charge us some 1 Crore in rupees. Intercept X Endpoint should improve their implementation; things will never be perfect for the new world. This new world is always facing new kinds of attacks and new ways to compromise the system. They need to learn fast, implement fast, and sometimes redesigning the solution is the solution—not just patchwork. There was a time we used to love Sophos because of its fresh design and innovative thought. In my experience, when technical companies are led by MBA professionals, they lose their shine on the technical part and become more dependent on target sales; it turns into a marketing-centric operation that loses the technical focus completely.

Pros

"The automated incident response feature in Comodo MDR works fantastic; when customers install custom tailor-made software which is not recognized by Comodo MDR, it runs in an isolated environment, and if it determines the software is not secure, it blocks it immediately and sends a report to the admin."
"The product is fairly new compared to others like Trend Micro or Symantec. However, it offers sophisticated features, especially in scanning and analyzing activities on workstations or servers. It can prevent malicious operations from spreading to other applications or the network. This feature is particularly effective because it operates at the IO level, unlike behavior or signature analysis used by other products. It contains threats and alerts administrators about whether they are false positives or real threats that need immediate action or support recommendations."
"However, it offers sophisticated features, especially in scanning and analyzing activities on workstations or servers."
"One of the most valuable features is its around-the-clock, 365-day-a-year online technical support."
"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."
"Overall, I am perfectly satisfied with the product."
"My advice for anybody who is looking into implementing this product is that it is easy to implement, quick to deploy, and has a lot of tools to detect malicious behavior."
"The solution protects us."
"One reason why I have stuck with Sophos is because it grabs it and deals with it, and if it's known malware, it can quarantine it or delete it."
"The anti-exploit technology within Intercept X Endpoint is excellent."
"From the firewall side to endpoint protection, everything is there, so there's nothing much that I can complain about."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is cloud management."
 

Cons

"Users pay $60 per user per year, and in case there is an issue, support tickets take nearly three days or sometimes even more for a clear resolution or an answer."
"They should consider adopting the desktop version as a solution."
"I think having a higher level of MDR would be beneficial, although it's quite expensive. This would involve not just monitoring the network but also taking actions to stop and detect threats. We haven't implemented this yet, but we're considering it for our organization's plans."
"I think having a higher level of MDR would be beneficial, although it's quite expensive."
"While the solution does not seem to lack any features, it should offer better security updates."
"The support needs improvement."
"It doesn't filter with the QUIC protocol web policies."
"It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee."
"There should be a report including a flowchart or diagram. It will be useful to evaluate the software’s effectiveness."
"The majority of our systems are MacBooks and their solution release cycle is slow to endorsing or support the MacBook's latest OS or hardware platform. For example, when Sophos macOS Big Sur version 11 was released, it took them a while to support this version of OS. A similar situation occurred when the MacBook M1 hardware CPU was released. They have not fully supported the native M1 CPU to this day. They need to speed up the solutions release cycle."
"The graphical interface could improve. Additionally, adding less expensive mobile device support would be helpful. Other solutions have this feature."
"The ADR functionalities feel like they aren't mature enough. It hasn't been a long time since Sophos has offered reproduction. Due to the fact that it's so young, it has fewer functionalities than other and more mature ADR solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products. If you want to target a certain quantity, it should provide discounts to enterprises."
"The pricing falls within the moderate range."
"The price of this product should be reduced because it is a little high."
"Licensing costs are not expensive."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"There is a license required to use this solution."
"I am not sure about the cost. I would guess it to be between $50 to $60 per license. This would be the cost of the overall subscription. There is no additional fee."
"The solution requires an annual subscription."
"The pricing is actually quite reasonable."
"On a per-user basis, my company has to pay a certain amount of money."
