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.
Rick Cassel - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting
We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The performance is good."
"Its AI algorithms provide excellent protection against attackers."
"Intercept X helps with internal alerts, application access, and triggering support teams."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"It is easy to interact with, and its cost is also good."
"The security on offer is pretty good. We are happy with it."
"The base product and the anti-malware feature are most valuable."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the EDR."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"Speed"
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
 

Cons

"In my opinion, there have been significant developments in the product. In my opinion, I don’t have any suggestions as of now, however I can suggest a cost deduction which will be beneficial for all the parties. It will also relieve our budget and benefit our team."
"The technical support is the lone sore-point when dealing with this product."
"The security is good but the feature set is limited."
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of."
"The after sales service and support could be improved."
"The pricing could be a bit lower to match the normal retail pricing."
"The solution can be expensive, although we do see the value in it."
"The endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology has room for improvement because the information that it gives us to resolve our problems is poor nowadays."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product is moderately priced."
"We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Licensing costs are not expensive."
"You can pay monthly, but most of our customers choose annual subscriptions because they are less expensive."
"The price of the solution is average compared to the market."
"The cost of Sophos Intercept X is reasonable."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"The pricing is high."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
