Featured Reviews

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.
Kiarash Heydari - PeerSpot reviewer
Solid security and performance; overall a useful tool
My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives. This service is painful for network administrators. I would like for this solution to better integrate with other solutions, especially with our network solution. I would also like for the support response time to be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is cloud management."
"Machine learning is used to detect the threat and it does so by prioritizing the suspicious activities."
"This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."
"Intercept X helps with internal alerts, application access, and triggering support teams."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"The most effective features of Intercept X Endpoint for threat prevention are ransomware protection, miscellaneous behavior detection, and network threat protection."
"The key factor that attracted me to Sophos Intercept X was the multi-platform. I have multiple clients that have mixed environments of Mac and Windows. I am able to deliver a standard solution, regardless of the platform."
"The content filtering options are good."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are the threat detection technologies, and activity monitoring and support tools. Additionally, the port and USB security, and antivirus are effective."
"We particularly appreciate how scalable this solution is, as we often need to increase our end-user numbers."
"It's scalable enough for us."
"We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent."
"This is a feature-rich product."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is an effective protection solution."
"Has great behavior detection and a very good firmware scanner."
 

Cons

"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention."
"We've had difficulty with uninstalling the solution. When we try to uninstall an old version of the basic Sophos Antivirus, it doesn't seem to uninstall completely."
"From the management side, we receive detailed information. Sophos has many features, such as Threat Hunting but that comes with the XDR version of the solution. There's Sophos Intercept X and then there's Sophos Intercept X with XDR technology. We bought the XDR and then now the MTR, Managed Threat Response version available too. They have different packages for clients which gives them different options to pick from. If Sophos could combine more features into one package it would be beneficial."
"We would like more application control in order to be able to schedule times and access."
"The customer service and support could be improved in regards to response time. It could be faster."
"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."
"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 product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
"There is a problem with the solution, it came from Russia and we are looking for a replacement."
"The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."
"The license prices for this solution are quite high."
"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."
"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its technical support because currently, technical support is delayed."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."
"I would like better integration with other products."
"There's room for improvement in customer service and support. The response time when I open a ticket or communicate with the vendor could be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have bought a three-year license."
"On a per-user basis, my company has to pay a certain amount of money."
"They offer both monthly and yearly licenses."
"Licensing fees are paid monthly."
