A stable service with good support and little downtime
The best aspects of GoodAccess include: 1. Support system (available 24/7, quick to respond, and highly knowledgeable). GoodAccess offers a very available professional support service - it can be via chat service, email, or phone. The relevant representative was very professional, and responsive questions were answered in a prompt manner. 2. Stable service. Since we rely daily on a VPN to connect with multiple connections, VPN stability is crucial to us. in that sense, GoodAccess never fails. In the two or more years we have been using this service, there have been only one or two downtimes. each for 20 minutes or less. That's impressive.

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.

"The solution has easy-to-use administration and offers an easy implementation."
"No extra hardware is needed, and it is very easy to set up"
"GoodAccess has significantly improved security in our organization."
"Sophos Intercept X is a complete endpoint solution."
"The most valuable feature of Intercept X its ability to stay ahead of the infection. By the time the ransomware spreads to the next machine in line, the data has already been encrypted on that workstation. It didn't matter what the ransomware did because could go in and get it back."
"The solution is overall quite good, the services are performing well. It is very good for those who are using standard PC configurations. It does not block their system up by taking up a lot of resources."
"What I have found the most valuable about Sophos Intercept X is the ease of use with management administration and the solution's ability to stop exploits and ransomware."
"I appreciate the ability to use the latest endpoint protection features in case of an infection or cyber threat. This is especially true when using the product with a Sophos firewall solution, like the XG series. They collaborate effectively in the event of a cyber threat."
"Scalability is good."
"This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the EDR."
 

Cons

"The product could improve by extending its chat support beyond 8-5 CET, Monday to Friday, to a 24/7 service for better accessibility and immediate assistance."
"The logs do not go back very far."
"For small organizations, it works great. However, the larger the organization, the more scalable the pricing model, the better, since gateways can be very expensive if an organization needs multiple gateways."
"They need to provide a more comprehensive app that shows more data that appears on the GoodAccess site."
"It is worth mentioning that we do experience disconnects on rare occasions."
"There is one minor drawback to mention: occasionally, the Internet connection tends to slow down noticeably while using the VPN."
"The price tier is not suited for small teams."
"Enhancing the user interface and experience could make it more intuitive for all users."
"This product does not handle USB drives well."
"They should work on the logs and events. Sophos Intercept X needs to increase the interface test so that it can export to a live event."
"I would like the solution to have more functions and to be more user-friendly."
"The product defends very well on its own but could possibly use enhancement in giving users more controls."
"I would inquire why it is not sold directly to end users."
"It has a performance hit on a local laptop. There's an agent installed and we are bothered a lot by it because it seems to be using a lot of computer resources."
"Pricing is high."
"The solution is expensive, and it could be made cheaper."
