Has struggled to detect major threats but has offered basic protection over time
Intercept X Endpoint could learn from CrowdStrike in terms of overall performance and filtering because performance is most important, especially these days as Windows is getting buggier and buggier, which puts a huge load on the PC, and even with the most advanced CPUs and everything in place, it still lags in performance in so many places, thanks to Windows' clumsy design of these collaboration suites that make it extremely heavy on PC's resources. The interface of Intercept X Endpoint is quite old-fashioned. The Sophos interfaces, including for Intercept X Endpoint, are quite bad actually; to be very honest, even in UTM boxes, they are not great at all. You can hardly see a very small portion of windows while it's creating the firewall rules, and we have been complaining about this for quite some time, but there hasn't been any improvement on those grounds. Intercept X Endpoint's anti-ransomware capabilities failed us during a bad attack, and just because of our own backup policies, we could restore our normal operations; otherwise, if we had to depend on this solution, we would have been long dead because the infection was so bad, it couldn't even detect the infection. Intercept X Endpoint cannot handle zero-day attacks; in my experience, last year, we had this major issue with a malware attack, and it happened just because of our backup policies that we were able to recover without any support from Sophos, which just told us they would charge us some 1 Crore in rupees. Intercept X Endpoint should improve their implementation; things will never be perfect for the new world. This new world is always facing new kinds of attacks and new ways to compromise the system. They need to learn fast, implement fast, and sometimes redesigning the solution is the solution—not just patchwork. There was a time we used to love Sophos because of its fresh design and innovative thought. In my experience, when technical companies are led by MBA professionals, they lose their shine on the technical part and become more dependent on target sales; it turns into a marketing-centric operation that loses the technical focus completely.

Easy to set up, stable, and helpful for integrating the systems that require a fast and reliable connection
They can provide hardware for specific use cases because some of the NetFoundry solutions don't have the hardware. Currently, they're more into software, but some of the clients want a single brand instead of having multiple vendors. So, if they can offer hardware as well, it would be good. If they have a firewall capability, that would be good. Currently, because they don't have a firewall, we are required to put another layer of control on top of their solution. A built-in firewall would be quite good. Their technical support can be improved. There should be a better handover of a case from one support person to another.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The base product and the anti-malware feature are most valuable."
"Sophos Intercept X has a host of valuable features, including its anti-malware feature, which we considered key."
"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"We most value the price and interface quality with Sophos Intercept X. We focus on solution quality."
"From the firewall side to endpoint protection, everything is there, so there's nothing much that I can complain about."
"To date, we haven't had any incidents related to viruses or any types of attacks and we barely get any false positives."
"The stability of the solution is pretty good, we've never had issues with instability and it's reliable without bugs, glitches, crashes, or freezes."
"We use Intercept X Advanced along with Sophos EDR (Enhanced Data Detection and Response) for our servers and clients as advanced protection, and it is not just a simple virus scanning product."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is in the cloud."
"The price is very reasonable compared to others and the cloud service is free."
"It is quite stable; we don't have a problem, and in terms of reliability, we haven't encountered or heard of any issues from our customers."
"The Network as a Service that they offer is most valuable."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is a lot harder than, for example, Carbon Black. It's more difficult and complex."
"Deployment on cloud needs to be carried out manually."
"Features that should be improved in the upgrade involve the excessive consumption of the the solution's processor, RAM and resources."
"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention."
"The deployment part needs to be improved."
"The price of this solution can be improved."
"While Sophos is helpful technically, their tech support is not so good."
"Pricing is high."
"If they have a firewall capability, that would be good. Currently, because they don't have a firewall, we are required to put another layer of control on top of their solution. A built-in firewall would be quite good."
"The solution could provide internet access control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the product is okay, in my opinion. The tool's cost per user and per annum basis is around INR 700 to 800."
"The cost of Sophos Intercept X is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is average compared to the market."
"The pricing is quite expensive compared to the rest. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten; one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"You can purchase a license for one to three years."
"The price of Sophos Intercept X is expensive. The license is paid on an annual basis. There are extra features that can be added depending on the endpoints. The solution is priced twice as much as the Comodo solution."
"The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure."
"Compared to other solutions, such as CrowdStrike, we are most certainly happy with its pricing. We did a three year-business deal."
"The price is very reasonable compared to others and the cloud service is free."
"I don't have the cost, but in terms of its management viability, it is acceptable for most of our clients. It seems quite fair."
