Featured Reviews

Peter Nowak - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration of multiple firewalls enables advanced threat detection
The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable. Cybereason XDR facilitates two-way communication, where the firewall sends data to the Cybereason system, and it can communicate with the firewall to stop unwanted communication. Customers can deal with multiple types of firewalls with ease. The behavioral analytics help detect advanced threats when attackers use existing software. The multilayered protection approach, including NGAV, integrates XDR detection with antivirus to assess and counter threats effectively.
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

Pros

"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the GUI."
"The most valuable feature is the behavioral, non-signature-based threat detection."
"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"The solution protects us."
"There are products that are technically stronger. However, this product has everything in one solution, which makes it a strong endpoint option."
"Since it's cloud-managed, the solution is easy to administer, especially if the person using it is in a different geophysical location."
"After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is a web filtering and URL sanity checks. Overall the solution is well balanced with all its features."
 

Cons

"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"Customer service is rated as a five out of ten. When they work and reach the right level, they are helpful, but getting to the right person can be time-consuming."
"There could be more integrations with other data sources like NDR systems."
"Should include additional integration."
"The endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology has room for improvement because the information that it gives us to resolve our problems is poor nowadays."
"The price of this solution can be improved."
"I'm not clear on what features need improvement. Everything is mostly fine."
"Technical support is too slow to schedule meetings."
"The deployment part needs to be improved."
"The performance offered by the product needs improvement."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
"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."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
"The product is moderately priced."
"The price of the solution is average compared to the market."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It is not very expensive but I don't have specific pricing details. The licensing is usually done on yearly basis."
"We have an annual subscription."
