Featured Reviews

Suwandhi Suraweera - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

It's a complete solution package
When I go into the portal, I can see how many endpoints are enrolled or how many of them are active in place. I can see the current number of threats that are there in the organization. How many threats have been identified, etc. I can see which endpoint the critical events are coming in from a security aspect.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is not just a simple virus scanning product. It handles more advanced needs."
"The product is user-friendly."
"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."
"Its AI algorithms provide excellent protection against attackers."
"The solution is scalable."
"The dashboard is user-friendly."
"I consider the heuristics to be most valuable, the fact that the solution does not work solely on signatures."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's a complete solution package."
 

Cons

"Better protection in the endpoint, server, and mobile is needed."
"This solution is not in the high ratings on many of the top review sites. This solution has to be near the top for me to continue using it."
"Through Sophos Central I would like to see the ability to zero in and produce a report about the challenges being faced by a particular machine and user, to know if a virus is appearing only on that specific machine or also on others."
"I would inquire why it is not sold directly to end users."
"Intercept X needs more reporting and device management features, so I can get messages from PCs that let me know if I need to do something with them."
"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 tool should be made compatible with Linux and Microsoft operating systems."
"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."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
"The pricing could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution offers both a three-year license and an annual license. I would rate the product's pricing a one out of ten."
"The pricing is actually quite reasonable."
"We have bought a three-year license."
"They offer both monthly and yearly licenses."
"Licensing fees are paid monthly."
"Its price depends on the scenario. It is very expensive, but it is not more expensive than other vendors. The price of Check Point and other vendors is much higher than Sophos."
"It is a high-cost solution."
"Compared to other solutions, such as CrowdStrike, we are most certainly happy with its pricing. We did a three year-business deal."
"The pricing is six out of ten."
