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.
IT Head at Dee Development
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.

Regarding disadvantages of SentinelOne Vigilance, there is no local hub server that I can use to download the updates and signatures only once.

IT Head at Dee Development
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.

Provides innovative security features and accurate real-time threat management
From my reseller and partner perspective, the best features in the products are easy deployment, really small size installation, and an update process. It is a Gartner leader, so there is a lot of innovation in it. Regarding real-time monitoring features, it is absolutely accurate and automatically handled in most cases if configured correctly. I am actually able to synthesize machine learning with human experience to manage complex threats in IRs. This is included as part of the back-office strategy that they run through an AI process. I assess the importance of having 24/7 security coverage provided by SentinelOne Vigilance to be highly needed. As a customer, I have seen benefits from using it, and I can assure that it is 100% protected against many threats, and it is always in the actual state. I have observed improvements in Incident Response speeds since integrating SentinelOne Vigilance, as there are far more incidents automatically detected and cleared than before.
