Frank Goldman - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables us to easily see users' device compliance as it continuously monitors the devices
Security is much better than the service that we were using before. The dashboard is much more user-friendly. It is easy to add users. I can easily see users' device compliance as it continuously monitors the devices. The speed of the connections is excellent. We have two gateways set up, one for the East Coast US and one for the West Coast. Both have excellent speed and the GoodAccess team allowed us to test several gateways to determine which worked best for us prior to locking in the gateways. With the prior service, the speed was so slow that users could not work while connected.

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

"GoodAccess has significantly improved security in our organization."
"This simple, stable, affordable VPN solution scaled with us over the first year of use, allowing for an expansion of remote/hybrid workers to remotely access key systems otherwise restricted to our internal office network."
"GoodAccess is allowing us to give first-hand support and access to critical client systems, in a secure way."
"The dashboard is pretty sleek and complete."
"We love the simple interface and speed and reliability of the system."
"No extra hardware is needed, and it is very easy to set up"
"The solution has easy-to-use administration and offers an easy implementation."
"GoodAccess was the only hosted VPN solution we found for a reasonable cost that allowed us to establish a site-to-site VPN network for hundreds of locations across the country."
"The client isolation feature is a very effective feature."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"The solution has very good usability."
"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 of Intercept X are server lockdown, auto-remediation, and encryption monitoring."
"Its AI algorithms provide excellent protection against attackers."
"It does its job — it protects us from viruses. We don't really interact with it very much."
"The solution is easy to install."
 

Cons

"There is one minor drawback to mention: occasionally, the Internet connection tends to slow down noticeably while using the VPN."
"It would be useful to see the weekly usage information within the program itself and a dashboard for all usage data."
"The logs do not go back very far."
"Currently, the pricing structure is functional yet could benefit from more refined scalability calculations."
"The installable app's occasional bugs have caused disruptions for some users, impacting smooth usage."
"The interface information could show more information about how threats have occurred. Right now, it only shows basic threat information."
"It is worth mentioning that we do experience disconnects on rare occasions."
"This past year, I did not like having to purchase an upgrade to a plan with a minimum number of seats to get the features we needed. We do not use all of the seats."
"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"Through Sophos Central I would like to see the ability to zero in and produce a report about the challenges being faced by a particular machine and user, to know if a virus is appearing only on that specific machine or also on others."
"Technical support can be improved. There could be shared support, i.e. where someone in Egypt can respond."
"We tried to set up Sophos Zero Trust within my Sophos central cloud. It only works with Microsoft and I use Google. I'd like to see Google added."
"The customer service and support could be improved in regards to response time. It could be faster."
"The after sales service and support could be improved."
"We would like to deploy across a variety of machines simultaneously through the network."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"When you start going to the EDR technologies and the MTR, it is a little bit expensive. It's a very good technology, and obviously, you're going to pay for it, but the pricing could do a little bit of work."
"I have found the price of Sophos Intercept X to be reasonable."
"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."
"The price of Sophos Intercept X is expensive. The license is paid on an annual basis. There are extra features that can be added depending on the endpoints. The solution is priced twice as much as the Comodo solution."
"The cost of Sophos Intercept X is reasonable."
"They offer both monthly and yearly licenses."
"The solution offers both a three-year license and an annual license. I would rate the product's pricing a one out of ten."
"It was fairly and reasonably priced."
