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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"The performance is good."
"I like the way it goes beyond the office space. Being a cloud-based solution makes it very easy to manage your endpoints within the office. In this time of COVID, you can also very effectively manage people who are working from home."
"The security on offer is pretty good. We are happy with it."
"The patches on offer are very helpful."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Technical support from Sophos is rated as nine out of ten, which represents high quality."
"It is stable."
"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."
"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."
"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."
 

Cons

"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"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."
"This product does not handle USB drives well."
"Stability-wise, we had issues with some clients which had to be dealt with manually. The issue was with that installation part."
"Should include additional integration."
"In terms of the site-to-site VPN elements, they tend to concentrate. It's quite simple when there are Meraki devices at both ends of the VPN but if there is another user at one end, on another device, it can be a bit tricky. So they could really simplify that process a bit."
"Intercept X could enhance its support services, particularly in terms of response time and resource allocation."
"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."
"Technical support is crucial, especially when facing critical issues. It's rated six out of ten. Improvements are needed in the support sector, with a focus on providing expert assistance during production periods."
"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Sophos Intercept X is expensive. The license is paid on an annual basis. There are extra features that can be added depending on the endpoints. The solution is priced twice as much as the Comodo solution."
"While I do not have much experience dealing with the price, we have been entitled to a substantial discount on the solution in our use of it as an educational tool."
"The solution offers both a three-year license and an annual license. I would rate the product's pricing a one out of ten."
"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."
"I would rate the price 7 out of 10, where 1 is most expensive and 10 is cheapest. Also, a little reduction in price can be a great move for Intercept X Endpoint."
"We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
"Licensing costs are not expensive."
"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."
