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.
MiguelPurizaca - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable with great technical support and excellent alerts
The solution would be better if there was some kind of integration with network equipment so that we can also have visibility of everything related to the firewall or the routers or switches - not only the computers but also on other network equipment. If they could provide a solution for smartphones and for tablets that would be very helpful as we have some people accessing information from these types of devices. It could improve the security in terms of coverage as we both computers and mobile phones or tablets in use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"Technical support is responsive and adept."
"We have found the pricing to be reasonable."
"After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works."
"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 most valuable features are the range and restriction."
"The EDR (Enhanced Data Detection and Response) and the DLP (Data Loss Prevention) components are valuable assets."
"The base product and the anti-malware feature are most valuable."
"The stability is very reliable."
 

Cons

"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention."
"To be a perfect product, the price would have to be a bit better."
"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."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
"There is a licensing issue with Intercept X Endpoint; these licenses are user-based, and most of our customers require per-device licenses because they use one PC for multiple accounts, which presents a problem."
"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"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."
"It's a bit heavy on the computers. So once you install it, the computer slows down. It is a resource-intensive solution."
"If they could provide a solution for smartphones and for tablets that would be very helpful as we have some people accessing information from these types of devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have found the price of Sophos Intercept X to be reasonable."
"You are able to purchase more licenses for the number of devices or servers that you require. There are many other features available but our license does not include them, such as XDR, which is endpoint detection and response. We have not explored the new features as of yet but plan to in the coming future."
"The price of this product should be reduced because it is a little high."
"The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."
"As I am not responsible for paying the bills I cannot comment on the pricing."
"One can pay for the license annually, or at two and five year intervals."
"The price of Sophos Intercept X is competitive."
