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.
Rodrigo Censi - PeerSpot reviewer
Patch management and integration capabilities drive effective endpoint response management
We work with Kaspersky and two modalities: the Censi final and Censi license. Most of our clients work in financial areas and industry. Our regular enterprise business relies on these solutions Kaspersky is viable with ADR; the Endpoint Detection response feature and the BitLocker management…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It does its job — it protects us from viruses. We don't really interact with it very much."
"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."
"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."
"It is very easy to set up and easy to use. It is also not resource-intensive."
"It is an intelligent tool."
"The malware detection is the key feature."
"Technical support is responsive and adept."
"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."
"Kaspersky is one of the best, and we are working with it today."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"I like the tool’s response to malware and trojans."
"My impression of the stability of this solution is good. We have not had any issues with stability."
"EDR's most valuable feature is its basic protection from malware and viruses."
"We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent."
"Version 14.0 comes with an SQL database, which gives great flexibility on control, reviewing logs, and viewing history."
 

Cons

"Features that should be improved in the upgrade involve the excessive consumption of the the solution's processor, RAM and resources."
"They might want to offer an MSP model for licensing, to offer the solution as a software as a service."
"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."
"The ADR functionalities feel like they aren't mature enough. It hasn't been a long time since Sophos has offered reproduction. Due to the fact that it's so young, it has fewer functionalities than other and more mature ADR solutions."
"It could be a bit easier to implement."
"Technical support can be improved. There could be shared support, i.e. where someone in Egypt can respond."
"When I use a proxy, I can bypass Sophos, which is an area that needs improvement."
"We would like to deploy across a variety of machines simultaneously through the network."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"They could provide a source of visualization for the product."
"The solution lacks DLP."
"It consumes many system resources."
"If it covered more products, it would improve the XDR."
"The solution can improve by providing automatic fixing of vulnerabilities and reducing the resources used in the server component and endpoint agent. They are very bulky and use a lot of CPU, memory, and hard drive resources."
"I would like better integration with other products."
"The installation process could be more streamlined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other solutions, such as CrowdStrike, we are most certainly happy with its pricing. We did a three year-business deal."
"I would rate the price 7 out of 10, where 1 is most expensive and 10 is cheapest. Also, a little reduction in price can be a great move for Intercept X Endpoint."
"There is a license required to use this solution."
"The price of Sophos Intercept X is 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."
"You can pay monthly, but most of our customers choose annual subscriptions because they are less expensive."
"The product is moderately priced."
"The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
"The solution’s pricing is okay."
"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"The license for EDR costs about 1,000 pesos per user. I would rate the pricing as four out of five."
"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
