Intercept X Endpoint Reviews

I consider the heuristics to be most valuable, the fact that the solution does not work solely on signatures.

We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR.

We are not talking about issues with the installation, documentation or interface, but with the existing combination between Sophos Intercept X and our firewalls. This is why we are considering other options. 

Moreover, the solution does not offer support for a legacy SAN. However, as this is a legacy issue, it will likely resolve itself eventually. 

I have been using Sophos Intercept X for close to 15 years.

The stability is fine. 

We have had no problems with technical support. 

The installation was fine. 

As I am not responsible for paying the bills I cannot comment on the pricing. 

I would never rate a solution as a ten out of ten, so I give Sophos Intercept X a rating of eight.

We mainly use it on our endpoints. We use it for Windows machines and laptops. They have a server version for the servers.

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.

I have not done it, but integrating it with authenticating the users on the Windows system looks a bit complicated to me. It could be because I don't understand it.

Its installation takes a bit longer for each of the vendors. I don't know whether it is because of the internet connection. I don't know if it is just for me or it is the same for every other user.

I have been using this solution for two years.

It is very stable.

It is very scalable. There are around 120 users and devices. 

I have never contacted them about this new product. I used to contact them before, and I don't have issues with their technical support. They respond, and their response is good.

We were previously using Sophos Central. It was on-premises, so we migrated from that solution to this solution. It is pretty much the same thing that we were doing before, but now it is cloud-based.

A new device installation is very easy. During installation, when you download the installation file from the web, the registration works so well, but the installation takes a bit longer for each of the vendors. I don't know whether it is because of the internet connection. It looks like it is the web installer that takes longer. I don't know if others have experienced the same issue. 

We also had a few challenges during migration. Because we were doing a migration of the site, we wanted just to maintain what we were doing before. 

We did it ourselves. I'm part of a larger group, and my colleagues had done its implementation.

We have bought a three-year license.

I would very much recommend this solution. I would rate Sophos Intercept X a nine out of 10. 

It is easy to interact with, and its cost is also good.

The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities.

I am really new to it because I just joined a new organization. It has not even been two weeks.

Its stability is good so far.

It is scalable.

Its cost is good.

I would recommend it for small and medium enterprises. I would rate Sophos Intercept X a six out of 10.

I have found the most valuable feature to be the EDR.

The solution is heavy in the usage of resources, you can notice the performance decrease. This should prove in the future.

I have been using this solution for approximately five years.

I have found the solution to be stable.

The solution is scalable. We have multiple clients and have approximately 1,000 users using the solution.

We have not had a good experience with technical support. The quality of support we received was not what someone would expect from a leading solution provider.

We have used McAfee and Trend Micro previously. The customer's environment would determine what is the best option that we would recommend. For example, if the customer has a Sophos firewall and other Sophos products, then it would be better to go with Sophos Intercept X.

The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure.

I rate Sophos Intercept X an eight out of ten.

We find the app control and its threat protection to be the best features.

The app control in respect of the user interface could be improved, The choices offered for the on-premises and cloud-based platforms are the reverse of each other, such as the one responsible for allowing or denying access. This can be confusing initially, even though I later discovered that it is possible to set it back. 

We are happy with the solution's stability. 

The solution is scalable. We continue to add devices to the several sites we have on it without any problem.

I haven't had much cause to deal with technical support, although we sometimes require this concerning the email component, particularly in respect of the relay to Office 365. 

In our ten years we have not worked with another solution before using Sophos Intercept X. 

The initial setup was easy.

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. 

Our organization has 1,500 end-users making use of the solution.

We require four to five administrators.

The solution sufficiently satisfies one's standard needs, including those of antivirus and app control.

I rate Sophos Intercept X as an eight out of ten. 

We use this solution to protect all of our computers against viruses — malware in general.

It does its job — it protects us from viruses. We don't really interact with it very much. 

It has a performance hit on a local laptop. There's an agent installed and we are bothered a lot by it because it seems to be using a lot of computer resources.

We're interested in some behavioral analysis regarding activities on all of our networks so that we can anticipate intrusions and problems before they occur. My understanding is that Sophos doesn't provide such a facility. Darktrace seems to offer an artificial intelligence solution along these lines. 

I have been using Sophos Intercept X for roughly two to three years. 

This solution seems very stable. We just installed it and forget about it.

On the rare occasion that we've asked for help, the IT support company has delivered. 

We have a company that provides IT support for us. They recommended it and they set it up. All we had to do was install the agent on each laptop, which was a pretty easy thing to do.

The price of this solution is reasonable. 

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

I would recommend this solution; it does its job as far as I'm aware. I can't tell you if it's better or worse than other software packages for security. It's the one suggested by our IT services provider. It seems to do the job. We're a bit bothered about the performance hit on the laptops, but other than that, it seems fine.

The solution is deployed concerning all our users, of which there are between 500 and 600. We utilize it for whoever is making use of our company assets. 

Sophos Intercept X has a host of valuable features,  which is why we selected it. These include the prevention of lost data, device and web control, and the application level controls with the anti-malware feature. The anti-malware feature was key for us and we benefit from all these other attendant ones.

Features that should be improved in the upgrade involve the excessive consumption of the the solution's processor, RAM and resources. 

We have often encountered pain points, such as field users having insufficient resources at their disposal. Their system may offer, say, i3 processor or four GB of RAM, and become slow, owing to the large number of features. While it is okay that this results in the system slowing down, it remains a challenge for us, as our users and employees are complaining that it is becoming progressively slower.

In the next release it would be great to also see VPN integrated or in-built in the solution.

We have been deploying Sophos Intercept X for nearly two years. 

We have not expanded the solution. As nearly two-and-a-half years have elapsed, the number of users have already been added. We have not increased the number of users in the past year. There is no increase in increment planned for now but, perhaps, there will be in six months' time. 

As mentioned, we consider the solution's technical support to be good.

The initial setup was straightforward and easy.

Since prior to using Sophos Intercept X we were using the on-premises solution of Sophos Central, our use has exceeded two years.

The deployment took from five to ten days.

The licensing is annual, which means that we have already procured licenses for three years.

We are happy with the pricing across all Sophos products. Comparatively, the cost is very low.

Prior to going with Sophos Intercept X, we evaluated McAfee, Trend Micro, Seqrite and Symantec. 

Sophos Intercept X does not have any specific version. It started out on-premises but is now cloud-based. As such, we are using it on the cloud, meaning, Sophos Intercept X Advanced.

We use EDR for both solutions.

There are currently around 550 to 600 users making use of the solution across our company.

For someone contemplating implementing the solution who is looking for a single product containing many features, Sophos Intercept X is the best available. It has features like web, application, and device control, as well as DLP. For someone solely interested in an anti-malware solution, but without DLP, Sophos Intercept X would be so-so.

I would rate Sophos Intercept X as an eight out of ten. 

Synchronization with the firewall is most valuable.

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.

I have been using this solution for more than a year.

It is stable.

We have roughly 500 to 550 users.

For Intercept X, the support was good, but for the firewall part, we have to wait a lot for the support to be online.

It is very easy.

I would rate Sophos Intercept X an eight out of ten.

We're currently implementing this solution in our company, but we generally implement it for our clients. I'm a director and we are resellers of Sophos Intercept X.

The product is very stable which is great. 

The after sales service and support could be improved, particularly on the technical side. The solution has room for additional features. 

I've been using this solution for two years. 

The product is stable, although one of my clients suffered a bit from downtime. The clients are happy with it. 

We purchase different boxes according to the needs of the client, because every single box  has a limitation on number of users. The lowest one, which is 110, supports up to 20 users, 10 to 20 users. 125 supports around 30 users and so on. Most of our clients are medium and enterprise size companies. 

I'd like to see the price lowered. 

Although this is quite an expensive solution when you compare it to products like Automate or Cisco, Sophos does better on pricing.  

I rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

This solution can be used with any device including mobiles, desktops, or any appliances.

When I use a proxy, I can bypass Sophos, which is an area that needs improvement.

We have been providing this solution for one year.

It's a stable product.

It's scalable. We have 50 customers.

Technical support should be faster.

The initial setup is straightforward. The installation is easy, and it's faster than SAP.

Sophos Intercept can be deployed in a couple of minutes.

It will take one hour to deploy it for a firewall, and only 15 minutes for the endpoint protection.

We need one engineer to deploy this solution.

The price is okay. It's comparable with other solutions.

You can purchase a license for one to three years.

I would recommend this solution.

I have no issues with this solution, I would rate it a nine out of ten.
