Peter Nowak - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick response and reliable restoration enhance security operations
If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers. It would take away a unique selling point for our own specialist managed service. I'm a bit hesitant, however, this would improve the product or the offering. Detection time already is very quick. The completeness of the offering was integrating more data. I am discussing with a customer who wishes to include identity data. Detecting early when someone tries to compromise your ID would be a nice feature.
Suwandhi Suraweera - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Automated information on zero-day threats is provided without us needing to ask."
"The quick reaction and the ability to restore the state before within a short time are significant."
"The quick reaction and the ability to restore the state before within a short time are significant."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is endpoint management...The solution's support team is quite good at giving us feedback if there is an issue."
"Intercept X Endpoint is the only endpoint security product I know that provides content filtering and application controls."
"One of the best features of Sophos Intercept is that it repairs without slowing down the system."
"The most valuable features are the range and restriction."
"The security on offer is pretty good. We are happy with it."
"Technical support from Sophos is rated as nine out of ten, which represents high quality."
"It provides a feature for scanning and analyzing endpoints, which is a value-add for our infrastructure. With the advancements in the Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), Sophos Intercept X analyzes an APT and the behavior of the endpoints. It then gives us a detailed dashboard with more information about the endpoints and their security and risk level. While deploying Sophos Intercept X, we identified a lot of vulnerability and risky endpoints that our previous solution didn't cover, which proved that this solution is the best."
"It is stable."
"The package we use also comes with spam filtering features, which are quite useful."
 

Cons

"If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers."
"If the language barrier was addressed, it would lower the barrier for a number of German customers. It would take away a unique selling point for our own specialist managed service."
"The interface, particularly the dashboard we use for looking at alerts, could be improved."
"For every new client or every new case, my company has to spin up a new instance, because of which there is a new URL."
"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."
"Intercept X could enhance its support services, particularly in terms of response time and resource allocation."
"It would be a value-add if they can include integration with other technologies or solutions, like Fortinet, Blue Coat, etc."
"The solution is heavy in the usage of resources, you can notice the performance decrease. This should prove in the future."
"Integration with firewall solutions could be better."
"Intercept X needs more reporting and device management features, so I can get messages from PCs that let me know if I need to do something with them."
"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."
"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

"Price-wise, Cybereason Managed Detection & Response is effective for larger companies, but if you have a small company with less than 1,000 employees, then it gets expensive."
"There is a yearly payment to be made. For each client, it costs around 15 dollars. There are no additional costs besides the licensing price we pay to use the solution."
"It is not very expensive but I don't have specific pricing details. The licensing is usually done on yearly basis."
"While I do not have much experience dealing with the price, we have been entitled to a substantial discount on the solution in our use of it as an educational tool."
"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."
"The solution offers both a three-year license and an annual license. I would rate the product's pricing a one out of ten."
"The product is moderately priced."
"The price of the solution is average compared to the market."
"You can purchase a license for one to three years."
