Khandokar Rabbi - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for endpoint security, ransomware protection, virus protection, and server security
Intercept X Endpoint is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Previously, we had two ransomware attacks when we were using Kaspersky as an endpoint security. We didn't face any ransomware attacks after using Intercept X Endpoint for endpoint security. Intercept X Endpoint has simplified our malware detection. Since we have already implemented the policies in the cloud, all the malware is automatically detected. The solution also detects and removes new malware that can also come from the cloud AI engine. Integrating Intercept X Endpoint with our current security infrastructure was very easy. In my opinion, Sophos is a better solution because we are using Sophos endpoint security and network security. These two things sync with each other and monitor the packets and network traffic. No other vendor has simultaneous devices to check everything. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Rodrigo Censi - PeerSpot reviewer
Patch management and integration capabilities drive effective endpoint response management

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very scalable solution."
"The client isolation feature is a very effective feature."
"Ransomware protection is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's common dashboard feature. The solution is also easy to deploy and manage. Reporting is also easy with the software."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the behavioral, non-signature-based threat detection."
"Intercept X Endpoint has been stable, and I appreciate the centralized management and the reporting feature."
"Its customer service is quite good."
"Kaspersky is easy to use, and it performs well."
"I like the tool’s response to malware and trojans."
"The product is very easy to use."
"Has some great features not available elsewhere."
"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."
"The product has an easy-to-use EDR module based on signature-based antivirus detection. It is a complete software."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"They don't have the full stack of offerings as compared to the other competitive products that we see."
"Installing Sophos Intercept X was not as straightforward, as we had to ask support and had to work with an integrator, though the process didn't take much time, e.g. it was completed within one hour."
"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention."
"I have not done it, but integrating it with authenticating the users on the Windows system looks a bit complicated to me. It could be because I don't understand it."
"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."
"Pricing is high."
"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 choices offered for the on-premises and cloud-based platforms are the reverse of each other."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"They could provide a source of visualization for the product."
"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert needs to include a traffic interface."
"It consumes many system resources."
"The installation process could be more streamlined."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"There is a problem with the solution, it came from Russia and we are looking for a replacement."
