Efficiently monitoring and detecting suspicious activities
One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments. For instance, once we were connecting different parts in China, and we had to reserve resources for the blue source of the login of task no v. ConnectWise Fortify successfully mitigated the issue and monitored any suspicious activity in the Microsoft environment. Despite the inconvenience, the Microsoft environment is still active and susceptible to cyber threats. We do a lot of research and utilize ConnectWise Fortify to restart and restore the system. It's essential to have a solution like ConnectWise Fortify to protect against cyber threats.

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.

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

Pros

"One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments."
"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"The integration capabilities of ConnectWise SIEM are off the shelf, making it easy to buy and use; you just unpack it and use it."
"Its AI algorithms provide excellent protection against attackers."
"It's quite simple to use and user friendly."
"Solution for endpoint detection and response, with good stability and scalability. Users also benefit from email protection and data loss prevention."
"The deployment is quick. It just depends on the environment and what you may be replacing."
"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"The EDR (Enhanced Data Detection and Response) and the DLP (Data Loss Prevention) components are valuable assets."
"Intercept X helps with internal alerts, application access, and triggering support teams."
"Scalability is good."
 

Cons

"ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect."
"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"ConnectWise SIEM is primarily focused on notifications and is limited in that aspect, while Wazuh can automate the elimination process."
"The performance is very slow and should be faster."
"The integration has room for improvement, especially with Mac OS."
"I am not very satisfied with the product's reporting overall, and it needs improvement in this area."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability and updates."
"They should keep doing what they're doing. Both of them have entered the EDR/MDR space, and they're keeping up with their competitors. I have a hard time understanding why their capabilities aren't garnering more attention."
"The technical support is the lone sore-point when dealing with this product."
"Sophos needs to create a YouTube channel with educational material for technicians or engineers."
"Features that should be improved in the upgrade involve the excessive consumption of the the solution's processor, RAM and resources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"I would rate the price 7 out of 10, where 1 is most expensive and 10 is cheapest. Also, a little reduction in price can be a great move for Intercept X Endpoint."
"We were able to eliminate the ransomware using the one-month, full-featured trial license."
"We have an annual subscription."
"The price of Sophos Intercept X is expensive. The license is paid on an annual basis. There are extra features that can be added depending on the endpoints. The solution is priced twice as much as the Comodo solution."
"We are happy with the pricing across all Sophos products."
"We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
"The price is pretty good."
"Licensing is based on the number of users. They give a discount for editors who are considered as important members. From what I know, Sophos products are not expensive. If you have a license extension, you just need to contact the editor or partner to change the mode of licensing or extend the license to cover more people."
