Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems
I use Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for the grooming industry. It is primarily utilized for the office environment The features I find most effective for threat detection include centralized control policy distribution and the control of independent devices, such as printers, laptops, and desktops…
Khandokar Rabbi - PeerSpot reviewer
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

Pros

"It is stable."
"The tool alerts about lateral internet movements."
"Go for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR without any second thought."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and firewall policies. The runtime scans and execution have been beneficial to our business."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"The setup was easy."
"The initial setup is easy."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"The product efficiently prevents data leakages."
"Everything in Intercept X Endpoints is much centralised which makes it easy for our team to work with. The functions are in a single portal."
"Very stable solution."
"This product integrates well with Sophos firewalls and should be seriously considered by Sophos Firewall clients."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is a web filtering and URL sanity checks. Overall the solution is well balanced with all its features."
"We find the app control and its threat protection to be the best features."
"It is an intelligent tool."
 

Cons

"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"While the solution is secure, it could have better integration."
"Occasionally websites are unnecessarily blocked due to monitoring software on those sites."
"The outreach from support was a bit bad according to their plan, but we've got two people here that manage and support GravityZone and interact with them and they manage it very well."
"The one thing that we are missing and want to see is user analytics. So, that is what I'm really interested in: behavior analytics and end user behavior."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"There is a need to work on the deployment, when it comes to deploying to Windows machines with regards to downloading the size of the package."
"It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee."
"The initial setup can be a bit challenging."
"To be a perfect product, the price would have to be a bit better."
"The product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
"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."
"This solution is not in the high ratings on many of the top review sites. This solution has to be near the top for me to continue using it."
"If Sophos Intercept allows users to restrict website access based on specific needs, such as streaming new videos for business purposes, we would prefer to use that."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a fully functional trial that we used and we didn't have any issues."
"As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis."
"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is less expensive than other solutions, such as CrowdStrike. We had a really good deal because it was their year-end and they were trying to do a lot of sales that week. We bought a three-year contract from them and the cost was approximately $17 per endpoint, per year. It is was a very good price. I have spoken to other people who have purchased CrowdStrike at approximately $60 per endpoint, per year. I have no complaints about the price of this solution."
"There are some differences. It's more cost-effective, yet it provides the same functionalities as Defender. That's why I've been exploring the comparisons. We pay for it annually, and it's a per-seat payment."
"When I first started using this solution I was paying $80 annually. I did not pay any additional fees. There are other solutions that are cheaper on the market."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cost-effective and has the best pricing."
"Licensing is based on the number of users. They give a discount for editors who are considered as important members. From what I know, Sophos products are not expensive. If you have a license extension, you just need to contact the editor or partner to change the mode of licensing or extend the license to cover more people."
"It is not very expensive but I don't have specific pricing details. The licensing is usually done on yearly basis."
"The pricing is quite expensive compared to the rest. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten; one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"I find the pricing to be a little bit expensive, although it is acceptable, for now."
"We are happy with the pricing across all Sophos products."
"The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure."
"The solution requires an annual subscription."
"The product is moderately priced."
