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.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The package we use also comes with spam filtering features, which are quite useful."
"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"The most effective features of Intercept X Endpoint for threat prevention are ransomware protection, miscellaneous behavior detection, and network threat protection."
"There are products that are technically stronger. However, this product has everything in one solution, which makes it a strong endpoint option."
"The most valuable features are the cloud administration and the strength of the ransomware protection."
"It is one of the best in terms of technicality."
"The stability on offer is fine."
"The most valuable features of Sophos Intercept X are the ease of use and the policy options that are simple to understand. Overall, the protection is good."
"Speed"
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"Auto-Remediation"
 

Cons

"It could be a bit easier to implement."
"We would like more application control in order to be able to schedule times and access."
"The deployment part needs to be improved."
"The tool is not stable on Linux systems."
"They don't have the full stack of offerings as compared to the other competitive products that we see."
"They might want to offer an MSP model for licensing, to offer the solution as a software as a service."
"It's a bit heavy on the computers. So once you install it, the computer slows down. It is a resource-intensive solution."
"The ADR functionalities feel like they aren't mature enough. It hasn't been a long time since Sophos has offered reproduction. Due to the fact that it's so young, it has fewer functionalities than other and more mature ADR solutions."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find the pricing to be a little bit expensive, although it is acceptable, for now."
"Customers need to pay for a license for Intercept X Endpoint based on the number of users and servers they have. The pricing is considered normal and not overly expensive."
"We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
"It was fairly and reasonably priced."
"One can pay for the license annually, or at two and five year intervals."
"Licensing fees are paid monthly."
"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."
"We are happy with the pricing across all Sophos products."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"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."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"It is relatively cheap."
