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.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is stable."
"Its AI algorithms provide excellent protection against attackers."
"This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."
"We have found the pricing to be reasonable."
"Scalability is good."
"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."
"One reason why I have stuck with Sophos is because it grabs it and deals with it, and if it's known malware, it can quarantine it or delete it."
"Auto-Remediation"
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
 

Cons

"If we can lower the price, it will be fantastic because it will generate more revenue for us."
"From the management side, we receive detailed information. Sophos has many features, such as Threat Hunting but that comes with the XDR version of the solution. There's Sophos Intercept X and then there's Sophos Intercept X with XDR technology. We bought the XDR and then now the MTR, Managed Threat Response version available too. They have different packages for clients which gives them different options to pick from. If Sophos could combine more features into one package it would be beneficial."
"The solution can be expensive, although we do see the value in it."
"There are not any solutions that are a 10 out of 10. A 10 would be perfect protection with no impact on the performance of the device. This is not the case, there is some impact on the performance of the device."
"It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee."
"I would inquire why it is not sold directly to end users."
"The cloud management console could be a little more user-friendly."
"Sophos has a lot of different features. Some of them are tied to different clients, which may mean that different prices or licenses have to be added on. It can be a little bit confusing if you're not familiar with the logic of how they work. They can make it a little bit clearer."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not very expensive but I don't have specific pricing details. The licensing is usually done on yearly basis."
"They offer both monthly and yearly licenses."
"One can pay for the license annually, or at two and five year intervals."
"Its cost is good."
"The product is moderately priced."
"There is a license required to use this solution."
"I have found the price of Sophos Intercept X to be reasonable."
"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."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"The pricing is high."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
