The most effective features of Intercept X Endpoint for threat prevention are ransomware protection, miscellaneous behavior detection, and network threat protection. We are also using Sophos' next-generation firewall. That device and endpoint security are syncing each other with our users.

The endpoint security and firewall know and understand each other, and they understand what kind of package is coming and what kind of package is going through. Hence, the solution's protection is fabulous.

The main feature of Sophos Intercept is the ability to block certain websites that we don't want users to access. A user can only uninstall Sophos Intercept if they contact the administrator. This is a very useful security measure. Sophos Intercept Endpoint is strong in resolving issues.

There are two approaches in antivirus, i.e., device intelligence and cloud intelligence. The beauty of Sophos is that it will not take the load from the computers. All the monitoring or detections happened through a cloud engine. It is a very light antivirus on my computer.

It has a minimum impact in comparison to Kaspersky or Defender. I've been a customer of the Defender since 2004 or 2005, but Sophos is lighter than even the Defender.

Kaspersky is very heavy. Norton has reached a very low detection rate. The Defender has more options than Sophos on a personal level, but on the enterprise level, it is a much higher level than Defender on the XDR side.

Configuration is straightforward on the endpoint. It wasn't getting updated properly. The firewall is good, but the interface can be slightly better.

In terms of protection, Intercept X Endpoint is very good as it detects and identifies issues at a very early stage, so it is up to date. In terms of usability, it consumes a lot of RAM space, which causes work machines in our company's environment to be very slow. In my company, we have to wait and allow for the tool to complete the scanning of all the files and other aspects, or else the machines get slow.

The most valuable feature of Intercept X its ability to stay ahead of the infection. By the time the ransomware spreads to the next machine in line, the data has already been encrypted on that workstation. It didn't matter what the ransomware did because could go in and get it back. 

Sophos made such good headway with it because it wasn't traditional endpoint protection. It has a lot of additional capabilities, including web content filtering. It also has the ability to understand the traffic it was seeing at the endpoint, 

It's sitting on the endpoint, so you don't have to worry about encryption messing up the intelligence that it could get out of the traffic. It was able to pinpoint where the infection was able to get ahead of Intercept X. It was called Intercept X because it can get ahead of the ransomware attack and encrypt the data on clients in the path of the infection.

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.

Machine learning is used to detect the threat and it does so by prioritizing the suspicious activities. There is no human intervention in some cases, which is the trend that is happening with most of these products. High-end products and sophisticated products include machine learning capabilities for detecting the threats.

The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is cloud management. 

Sophos Intercept X used to be managed through the Sophos UTM, and they moved it. They moved the endpoint security strictly to the cloud, and it is a lot better that way it is more functional. Before all it did was download the software. Now that we have full management of the clients, you can easily update them remotely. There's a lot of additional policy functionality that was not there before. However, sometimes a little too much, but not as much as a solution, such as Cisco.

It provides a feature for scanning and analyzing endpoints, which is a value-add for our infrastructure. With the advancements in the Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), Sophos Intercept X analyzes an APT and the behavior of the endpoints. It then gives us a detailed dashboard with more information about the endpoints and their security and risk level.

While deploying Sophos Intercept X, we identified a lot of vulnerability and risky endpoints that our previous solution didn't cover, which proved that this solution is the best.

Senior CyberSecurity Architect and Mentor at BlueTeamAssess LLC

It's been pretty reliable. There's been a few times when it hasn't just taken care of problems. The automation is very convenient.

There's Sophos Central where the customer has a single pane of glass. You can manage everything. 

The thing that I like about it is the synchronized security. You can tie endpoint protection and firewalls and a whole range of other services and products. You can get your servers taken in under this.

It has a Linux version that's available. 

What I look for in dealing with small businesses, is for something that is not going to add to their staffing requirements significantly in terms of management. That's true with both Sophos as with Fortinet. 

There's great situational awareness within all the other components. If I have a workstation, usually they're just taking care of everything without me even knowing about it unless I go into the logs and see what's been cleaned up. I don't care if something gets cleaned up, I do care if something doesn't get cleaned up. My reporting is set to an on exception basis to ensure I don't have a firehose of information pointed at me to overwhelm me. Customers don't generally want to know every little thing that's happening on their network. What they want to know is if something has happened that puts their environment or their infrastructure in jeopardy. Sophos does this exceptionally well.

The pricing of the solution is quite good.

The most valuable feature in Intercept is its engine for machine learning. It is awesome.

It is easy to manage and work with. There is no need to have a cyber-security team define its tasks. In the next few years, it will be an agent EDR.

One reason why I have stuck with Sophos is because it grabs it and deals with it, and if it's known malware, it can quarantine it or delete it.

I look at all my network workstations and laptops, and if any one of them has some issues with updates or receives a notification, then the server console in the cloud will send me an email as well.

I like it's user interface, cloud integration, and the GUI. It's easy to work with it with clients.

I also like Sophos Intercept X because I can install it on a computer, and if it's set for tamper proof, then nobody can uninstall the program.

Muzamil Yakub - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Executive Officer at Infoview Limited

Sophos Intercept X is a very effective solution and its being cloud-based is a benefit. Wherever my users are, I can apply policies to them. In the era of mobility, when users are out of the office or they're in different locations, it doesn't matter. 

Whenever a user gets infected, as an admin, we get notified. We have many options to pick from, the ability to send policies to the endpoints is a very good feature that they have.

Whenever there is an update all the agents on the end-users systems automatically update.

We have the option of caching updates on the network, which allows us to save on bandwidth. For example, if we have 100 people in the office, we can deploy an internal caching server or a message link server, so not all computers need a connection to Sophos onto the cloud.

Sophos Intercept X integrates with their other solution very well, such as the XG Firewall. The feature is called Synchronized Security.

SG
Senior IT Analyst at a insurance company with 51-200 employees

We were looking for something that could sense ransomware attempts, to encrypt files, and cut off and reverse attacks as well as alert us to issues. That's what the Intercept X is designed to do. It's very good at security and protection. It offers very good reports.

The initial setup is simple.

The biggest feature that's on the server version that we're using, the EDR, is the ability to push data on threats that it's seeing over to another management platform, like a managed detection response service. It's nice that it's possible to do this and we don't have to pay so much attention to the alerts. They can for us.

EG
IT Manager at a construction company with 201-500 employees

I've found that the most valuable feature is the anti-virus that captures malicious threats and the next generation firewall which is more aggressive in terms of not only looking for viruses, but also for SaaS and the movement of equipment. If something strange comes up we're automatically notified and it's either blocked or quarantined. It enables you to prevent future viruses and enables us to inform the user of malicious websites they have visited.

To date, we haven't had any incidents related to viruses or any types of attacks and we barely get any false positives. It's good to know that any malicious anti-virus detected is automatically blocked, although it makes things more difficult for our IT department.

The most valuable feature is the anti-ransomware capability. It's been helpful because we have been seeing a lot of information around what the ransomware hit. It would have actually hit the environment before it was protected and Sophos was able to prevent it from ruining the environment. Sophos does this with the firewall to be able to achieve synchronized security, whereby we are able to see an automatic isolation of infected devices or compromised devices on the network.

Michael Mcdonald. - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Security Consultant at First Technology

I find the security heartbeat feature with synchronized security very useful. It's a very nice feature that allows you to basically switch off an endpoint. When an endpoint has got a virus or something like that, or it's infected or compromised, you can isolate it from the network, but only if you've got an XG Firewall as well. 

It also provides ease of use. It is the only antivirus that can recognize 25 out of the 36 ransomware and virus techniques that have been often used in terms of the behavior base using heuristics. It's beautiful, utterly amazing. No other antivirus can do that.

The reporting is pretty good up on the Sophos side. We can see if anything's going on, at least from Sophos' perspective. 

The updates and a lot of the day-to-day fiddling that you would have to do with it, can all be done from the cloud so it's easy to manage, and very easy to administer. 

Occasionally, we do get noticed, however, we don't always get noticed, and I sometimes wonder is that just due to the fact that our client computers are tough to get at? We also deploy the Sophos Firewall on client sites, and it's relatively difficult for a bad guy to get in there.

We've been happy with it and we've been happy with the training that Sophos has. They keep us up to date on any changes that the solution has.

We find all features valuable. It has zero-day protection, which is the most valuable feature of Intercept X.

We have Intercept X with EDR. EDR is a very important feature. It gives an idea about the source of a particular attack. An administrator gets to know everything, which helps in understanding the things that need to be done or protected in the organization. Based on this information, an administrator can decide what needs to open or allowed in the network. Without EDR, Intercept X is like an antivirus, and the administrator won't get to know the things going on at the organizational level. I recommend purchasing an EDR solution for every organization.

So far, the solution has been working quite well.

Sophos offers a manuscript response. 

The product has three tiers that you can choose from when you buy. The highest is a Managed Threat Response. We chose the middle range, which offers Intercept X and is more than just Malware protection.

This solution is a kind of Next-Gen anti-virus.

The product has some web filtering, which blocks people from going to websites they shouldn't be going to. 

It supports the Windows 10 server platform. 

The solution offers a centralized view of the status of protection, via a central console for users to check the status or the health of the endpoints.

So far, the solution has met all our expectations. It's blocked malicious websites effectively and stopped people from going to places online that they shouldn't be going to. It's automatic. We simply took the default settings and we were finding people right away that were going to illicit sites, and we were able to see that easily in the console.

The package we use also comes with spam filtering features, which are quite useful.

We like Sophos Central, where you have access to a security console. It provides you with information such as recommendations on what to do next. Using this, we were able to trace the affected devices, which were then cleaned. If new alerts are given then we know which devices are still affected and we can take the appropriate action.

Sophos Central also shows us which alerts have not yet been attended to, which is nice.

The most valuable features are ease of use and the GUI. The interface is very subjective. Personally, I am fine with it. However, some people don't like it. Generally speaking, I would say that it is easy to use.

They have a free version that is installed on mobile phones, which is very good.

The integration with my AP works well.

The most valuable feature is the AI functionality. 

It really does intelligent scanning to know if it really is a threat or not. 

This is really good because it's applicable to zero-day threats. 

The engine that is behind the Intercept X is really good because it has AI in-built.

The UI, the user interface it's really simple and straightforward.

The management is quite simple. it is backed up on the cloud. From the cloud, you can manage all of your devices through the firewall, including the endpoint solution and the email solutions. They are all managed in one panel. 

It's a straightforward product. I don't see anything that they can change.

One of the best parts of Sophos is manageability. You will find in the organization you just have one portal where we just manage all of the devices in one place. 

It's very simple. You just run an agent with the machine that communicates with the cloud portal. it is very simple to manage.

The product is very complete.

There are products that are technically stronger. However, this product has everything in one solution, which makes it a strong endpoint option. 

There are good functionalities for advanced incorporation and good ADI functionalities that work well specifically against dangerous strains of malware and ransomware.

Since 2015, Sophos is trying to integrate its products with synchronized security. The communication from UTM to the agent goes both ways. It allows the platform to gain a very high amount of data about the Endpoint's telemetry and to give the administrators a lot of visibility. A lot of other platforms cannot synchronize with other security ICT solutions and cannot guarantee the same visibility at all.

The simplicity of the product is very good. I'm not a very technical person, therefore, the ease of use is very much appreciated.

Integrations are pretty easy to handle. That's very helpful to us.

The pricing is fair. It's not too costly for our small organization.

There isn’t a specific feature; the solution itself secures your infrastructure. We had a partner whose client was using a different solution that was hit by ransomware recently. It was an inferior product and it didn’t protect them. They didn’t buy a license to protect them for ransomware. After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works.
