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.

Protects the global station and has good stability
The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better. The solution needs better integration with products, if it did, it would have the assumption of better security. I've been using the solution since…

Pros

"Sophos Intercept X is a very effective solution and its being cloud-based is a benefit. Wherever my users are, I can apply policies to them. In the era of mobility, when users are out of the office or they're in different locations, it doesn't matter."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the EDR."
"The solution has very good usability."
"After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works."
"This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."
"The security on offer is pretty good. We are happy with it."
"We find all features valuable. It has zero-day protection, which is the most valuable feature of Intercept X. We have Intercept X with EDR. EDR is a very important feature. It gives an idea about the source of a particular attack. An administrator gets to know everything, which helps in understanding the things that need to be done or protected in the organization. Based on this information, an administrator can decide what needs to open or allowed in the network. Without EDR, Intercept X is like an antivirus, and the administrator won't get to know the things going on at the organizational level. I recommend purchasing an EDR solution for every organization."
"Offers artificial intelligence, security metrics and a lot of information gathered to make decisions."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
 

Cons

"The number one thing I would like is if their support could be a little faster and it would be a little easier to get a hold of support when you need them."
"The solution is heavy in the usage of resources, you can notice the performance decrease. This should prove in the future."
"I would inquire why it is not sold directly to end users."
"There should be a report including a flowchart or diagram. It will be useful to evaluate the software’s effectiveness."
"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"When we load Intercept X, it puts a load on the device. When it is scanning, it slows down the device. A system with basic specifications completely slows down till the scan is complete. They should improve this part."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
"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."
"When you start going to the EDR technologies and the MTR, it is a little bit expensive. It's a very good technology, and obviously, you're going to pay for it, but the pricing could do a little bit of work."
"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."
"We have bought a three-year license."
"You can pay monthly, but most of our customers choose annual subscriptions because they are less expensive."
"We are happy with the pricing across all Sophos products."
"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."
