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

"The performance is good."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The Managed Detection and Response service provided by Intercept X Endpoint is highly valuable. With a team of 600-700 individuals monitoring systems, they swiftly respond to attacks, either informing us to isolate or directly removing threats. This full MDR service is especially recommended for sectors like finance, where data security is critical. The deep learning technology within Intercept X Endpoint enhances our security posture by analyzing behaviors and algorithms to differentiate between legitimate users and threats, effectively preventing attacks on our network infrastructure."
"It's a good antivirus software and has a lot of features. It now integrates with their on-premises firewall, which is perfect."
"The solution has very good usability."
"Machine learning is used to detect the threat and it does so by prioritizing the suspicious activities."
"The most valuable features of Intercept X are server lockdown, auto-remediation, and encryption monitoring."
"Intercept X Endpoint has been stable, and I appreciate the centralized management and the reporting feature."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
 

Cons

"Sophos has a lot of different features. Some of them are tied to different clients, which may mean that different prices or licenses have to be added on. It can be a little bit confusing if you're not familiar with the logic of how they work. They can make it a little bit clearer."
"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 Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities."
"It should offer better security updates."
"Installing Sophos Intercept X was not as straightforward, as we had to ask support and had to work with an integrator, though the process didn't take much time, e.g. it was completed within one hour."
"Intercept X Endpoint sometimes slows down machines due to high CPU utilization and significant RAM consumption during scanning."
"The pricing could be a bit lower to match the normal retail pricing."
"I would inquire why it is not sold directly to end users."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"The interface is slow."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is pretty good."
"The price of Sophos Intercept X is competitive."
