A solution for firewall protection with diagnosis and remote access
We received an alert from a client where we have installed Sophos Endpoint Security. There is a vulnerability in some applications, compromising their integrity. They have used a crack version, which is not genuine. These cracks contain malware and tokens. Someone attempted to copy a file into the system. Fortunately, with the help of Sophos Intercept, we received an alert promptly. We immediately halted our work on the infrastructure. Sophos Endpoint Security can scan files instantly and provide alerts. If Sophos Intercept allows users to restrict website access based on specific needs, such as streaming new videos for business purposes, we would prefer to use that. They have categorized details in the web policy in the Endpoint security setup. For example, I had to use the MCU tool under the 'Entertainment' option. I had to choose whether to allow it. If I block this category, all video-related applications, including Skype, will cease functioning. Therefore, they need to provide separate options. For instance, if they include 'Streaming' as an option under web policies for entertainment, users can differentiate and choose to block streaming websites individually, such as Daily Motion. This would give users more control over their access.

Provides a centralized dashboard, protects older servers, and reduces our time to detect
Trend Vision One's ability to cover all our servers is important because we can detect and quarantine any vulnerabilities as well as block and isolate third-party applications from being installed on our servers. The centralized visibility empowers us to monitor and manage all our servers from a single console. This includes generating reports, deploying security updates, and identifying offline or outdated servers. The centralized visibility and management across protection layers have helped increase our efficiency. We receive alerts and make changes all from one place. Trend Vision One helps us protect our servers, specifically our older servers that are not supported by Microsoft. It has reduced our time to detect by 50 percent. Trend Micro XDR has reduced the time spent on false positive alerts by up to 40 percent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scalability is good."
"The deployment is quick. It just depends on the environment and what you may be replacing."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"Synchronization with the firewall is most valuable."
"The threat analysis center is nice."
"We use Sophos Intercept X for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in our organization."
"The patches on offer are very helpful."
"What I like the most about Trend Micro XDR is that the detection and response domain extends to the network. It goes beyond the endpoint and includes data about the network which lets you pinpoint patient zero as well as the root cause of the attack."
"I'm satisfied with the level of coverage. The policies have been very useful and detailed."
"This full security posture positions us well for our future security roadmap."
"The integration is also nice because there are many external tools that we can connect to the platform, such as configuration management tools. Because the platform is integrated, I can manage almost the whole company across our global organization."
"I like Vision One's workbench. It provides helpful logs that I can search, and the telemetry is excellent because I can see what's happening during an attack or potential attack."
"When we purchased Vision One, what set it apart was that it wasn't a traditional signature-based antivirus. It's a process-aware solution that provides real-time protection. That was a big differentiator three years ago, but now it's a given that every AV provider should be doing that. It combines signature-based telemetry with behavioral awareness and a detection-based solution, making it a good solution for us."
"It helps us with investigations."
"It helps a lot to understand where the threat is coming from, where is it going, how is it being dealt with, et cetera."
 

Cons

"The problem is that if you have a lot of different components going on, each managed under a different umbrella, then you're going to be spending a lot of time hopping back and forth between the different components to see, "Well, I got hit here. What did my firewall see? I got hit in the firewall, the firewall says it allowed that attack in, did it land on anything to compromise any of my endpoints?""
"The policies could be nicer to manage."
"They need to focus on their SLA or technical support. They also need to focus on their UI. They should also improve their content filtering tool and update it so that correct categories are there. Sometimes, when I want to block an online gaming website, it is not shown under the correct category. It is shown under another category. They need to review their content filtering tool on a bi-weekly or monthly basis and update the sites and categories. This will be really helpful for them."
"Sophos Intercept X could improve on its setup process. They could make it easier to have a baseline set up for the system, or at least provide more understanding of what the baseline is when you first install it. This could be a matter of lack of training on my part, but it's difficult to receive training on solutions that are not Cisco. Cisco is the only vendor with classes or courses."
"The tool is not stable on Linux systems."
"The solution is expensive, and it could be made cheaper."
"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
"A room for improvement is Trend Micro XDR's website. It's a very complicated website since finding the right point one wants to see is difficult."
"I would like to have more integration with mobile device management."
"The automation capabilities on-premises could be improved, as we currently have to manually activate servers and push policies."
"The agent system is very slow, it needs to improve its performance."
"We'd like to see a few more integrations."
"It would be ideal if they could improve the control of connectivity between sensors."
"While the continuous addition of features is commendable, the sheer volume of changes makes it difficult to stay abreast of the latest developments."
"The centralized dashboard has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Licensing is based on the number of users. They give a discount for editors who are considered as important members. From what I know, Sophos products are not expensive. If you have a license extension, you just need to contact the editor or partner to change the mode of licensing or extend the license to cover more people."
"Price-wise, it is good. Currently, we have a three-year plan."
"The price is pretty good."
"As I am not responsible for paying the bills I cannot comment on the pricing."
"The product is moderately priced."
"We are happy with the pricing across all Sophos products."
"The price of the solution is average compared to the market."
"Trend Micro XDR has a good price, and on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of price."
"The price for Trend Vision One is reasonable compared to Microsoft and Symantec."
"They've introduced a credit system, where we purchase credits and then allocate them to the specific services we need active."
"We have an annual subscription and I believe there is no option for monthly billing at the moment."
"The pricing is competitive, and the cost aligns with the features we receive."
"Trend Micro XDR is expensive."
"It is definitely not cheap. I do believe you get what you pay for to some degree. It is cost-effective."
"The price is reasonable. It's not exorbitant. CrowdStrike and other players are on the higher side."
