Featured Reviews

Saad Qaiser - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides web protection and filtering and application and peripheral control
I recommend that Intercept X Endpoint should include a patch assessment feature. Various vendors offer virtual patching solutions, which could be a game-changer, especially for the financial sector where frequent service restarts are challenging. These solutions allow patching servers without the need for restarts. Incorporating these features into Intercept X Endpoint would enhance its effectiveness in securing endpoints and servers.
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

"This solution is easy to configure."
"The most valuable features of Sophos Intercept X are the ease of use and the policy options that are simple to understand. Overall, the protection is good."
"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."
"It is a practically maintenance free intelligent system that independently protects environments from malicious attacks."
"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 features are the cloud administration and the strength of the ransomware protection."
"The deployment is quick. It just depends on the environment and what you may be replacing."
"We find all features valuable. It has zero-day protection, which is the most valuable feature of Intercept X. We have Intercept X with EDR. EDR is a very important feature. It gives an idea about the source of a particular attack. An administrator gets to know everything, which helps in understanding the things that need to be done or protected in the organization. Based on this information, an administrator can decide what needs to open or allowed in the network. Without EDR, Intercept X is like an antivirus, and the administrator won't get to know the things going on at the organizational level. I recommend purchasing an EDR solution for every organization."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert offers centralized monitoring where we can monitor everything from a single point. I also like its security and network traffic features."
"The performance for Kaspersky is good, and it's not impacted our client performance."
"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are all the features. The features have all helped us and most recently malware has been an issue in our company and malware protection has been effective."
"Encryption is the most valuable feature. It creates an encryption tunnel from your location to the delivery address."
"Provides web and DNS protection over https."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
 

Cons

"Mobile device management is a challenging area, and it can be improved. Some areas in the DLP solution can also be improved. It has the DLP capability, but it is not an all-out DLP program. I would like to see them improve the DLP solution in terms of reporting and possibly network monitoring. Currently, they only do the reporting parts of it."
"Pricing is high."
"It could be a bit easier to implement."
"When there is an event generated by either the firewall or Intercept X, and the originating IP address is the same, these should be merged into a single event rather than two."
"To be a perfect product, the price would have to be a bit better."
"The product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
"The license prices for this solution are quite high."
"If it covered more products, it would improve the XDR."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"I am not happy with Kaspersky's support since basic support is very cool unless you pay for some advanced support, in which you get better responses and feedback from Kaspersky's team."
"The product should release more frequent updates. The tool needs to improve its scalability as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can purchase a license for one to three years."
"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."
"Intercept X for endpoints is around $35 per user per year. The server version is $95 per server per year."
"The pricing is average for software like this, but you can purchase additional services if you wish."
"We are happy with the pricing across all Sophos products."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It was fairly and reasonably priced."
"The solution requires an annual subscription."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."
"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
"Pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is so-so when you compare it with its competitors. Its pricing isn't cheap nor expensive."
"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"The license for EDR costs about 1,000 pesos per user. I would rate the pricing as four out of five."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"If one is cheap, ten is expensive, I rate the product’s price as a seven out of ten, especially if I compare it with CrowdStrike."
