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.
FarkhundAbbas - PeerSpot reviewer
The tool provides excellent sandboxing and email security features, but the backup and recovery features are not good
If my primary solution is down, no backup solution is available to restore it. It is one of the biggest weaknesses of the platform. If I need to update the solution, there is no option to pick the events and the logs from it and deploy it in another solution. The backup and recovery features of the product are not good. I need backup. If the tool is down for some time, I cannot get the logs at that particular time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found the most valuable feature to be the EDR."
"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."
"There are additional security features in Sophos Intercept X as well as proxy rules and settings that help us in minimizing the sites that our agents can go to, even after their work hours."
"The forensics within the solution are quite good. The ransomware mitigation is also impressive."
"This product integrates well with Sophos firewalls and should be seriously considered by Sophos Firewall clients."
"Scalability is good."
"It's a good antivirus software and has a lot of features. It now integrates with their on-premises firewall, which is perfect."
"It is quite scalable. You can always add more users. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features."
"The email security feature is really good."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time."
"The solution is very easy to use. Its interface is very simple, and you can build IOC's indicators. You can use your rules to detect these attacks because you can leverage threat intelligence. Y"
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network."
 

Cons

"Technical support can be improved. There could be shared support, i.e. where someone in Egypt can respond."
"We had some initial problems with our deployment, and they were more around uninstalling Sophos Basic and installing Sophos Intercept X. We had some challenges with some of the uninstallation scripts. They can improve the deployment of Sophos Intercept X when there is already an existing Sophos version. They can also provide more information in the form of best practices and lessons learned from previous findings. A knowledge base with this type of information would be helpful."
"It would be a value-add if they can include integration with other technologies or solutions, like Fortinet, Blue Coat, etc."
"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."
"It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee."
"The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities."
"I am not very satisfied with the product's reporting overall, and it needs improvement in this area."
"The price of this solution can be improved."
"In some of the places I have come across, even though they use Kaspersky, the ransomware enters their system."
"The blind spot or gap in the platform is network analysis functionality."
"I think the tool is still not really good enough for integration compared to other products."
"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good."
"The solution lacks cloud integrations."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is not a good product. We had problems with endpoints and the solution did not detect it. We didn't get any alerts about the attack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were able to eliminate the ransomware using the one-month, full-featured trial license."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure."
"There is a license required to use this solution."
"The cost of Sophos Intercept X is reasonable."
"We have bought a three-year license."
"Licensing costs are not expensive."
"The pricing is average for software like this, but you can purchase additional services if you wish."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is cheap."
"Kaspersky is one of the cheaper solutions."
"The solution has competitive pricing."
