Makes it convenient to work from home, supports everything I need, and is easy to use
When everybody is trying to log in and work sometimes there is a little latency but not a whole lot. This latency also depends on the type of server you have, how may users are logging in and users' home connection (WIFI or Ethernet). If the weather is bad, sometimes, you can get disconnected. I log in every day and I don't usually have any issues unless it is really storming out and then it can be latent. When we go to print, we have to go through secure print. The secure printing kind of takes a while. It is a little latent.

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

"Virtual desktops and virtual apps are most valuable."
"It is easy and simple, and it has got an easy interface. It is not hard to learn. With just three clicks, you log in, and you're there."
"The most valuable features are the cloud administration and the strength of the ransomware protection."
"Malware protection and application blocking are absolutely great. The DLP and malware features are very helpful. It is also very user-friendly, reliable, and scalable. It is easy to set up. We are also happy with its price and support."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"The solution is easy to install."
"It is not just a simple virus scanning product. It handles more advanced needs."
"It is easy to interact with, and its cost is also good."
"Sophos Intercept X has a host of valuable features, including its anti-malware feature, which we considered key."
"It is stable and has a good price. I find it very good."
 

Cons

"INGPU for engineering software is an area of improvement."
"When we go to print, we have to go through secure print. The secure printing kind of takes a while. It is a little latent."
"The number one thing I would like is if their support could be a little faster and it would be a little easier to get a hold of support when you need them."
"The technical support is the lone sore-point when dealing with this product."
"The product defends very well on its own but could possibly use enhancement in giving users more controls."
"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."
"They should keep doing what they're doing. Both of them have entered the EDR/MDR space, and they're keeping up with their competitors. I have a hard time understanding why their capabilities aren't garnering more attention."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The solution can be expensive, although we do see the value in it."
"The majority of our systems are MacBooks and their solution release cycle is slow to endorsing or support the MacBook's latest OS or hardware platform. For example, when Sophos macOS Big Sur version 11 was released, it took them a while to support this version of OS. A similar situation occurred when the MacBook M1 hardware CPU was released. They have not fully supported the native M1 CPU to this day. They need to speed up the solutions release cycle."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. They should provide better licensing options."
"You can purchase a license for one to three years."
"Intercept X for endpoints is around $35 per user per year. The server version is $95 per server per year."
"The price of the solution is average compared to the market."
"I have found the price of Sophos Intercept X to be reasonable."
"As I am not responsible for paying the bills I cannot comment on the pricing."
"Price-wise, it is good. Currently, we have a three-year plan."
"I am not sure about the cost. I would guess it to be between $50 to $60 per license. This would be the cost of the overall subscription. There is no additional fee."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
