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 most valuable feature of Intercept X its ability to stay ahead of the infection. By the time the ransomware spreads to the next machine in line, the data has already been encrypted on that workstation. It didn't matter what the ransomware did because could go in and get it back."
"One of the best use cases involves synchronized security staff, which allows us to manage both the firewall and the anti-virus features from the cloud."
"The base product and the anti-malware feature are most valuable."
"Synchronization with the firewall is most valuable."
"Sophos Intercept X is a complete endpoint solution."
"Ransomware protection is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"We most value the price and interface quality with Sophos Intercept X. We focus on solution quality."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The pricing is decent."
"This is a feature-rich product."
"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."
"Has some great features not available elsewhere."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is security. It has better security than other solutions, such as Symantec."
 

Cons

"In my opinion, there have been significant developments in the product. In my opinion, I don’t have any suggestions as of now, however I can suggest a cost deduction which will be beneficial for all the parties. It will also relieve our budget and benefit our team."
"We would like more application control in order to be able to schedule times and access."
"The endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology has room for improvement because the information that it gives us to resolve our problems is poor nowadays."
"Technical support can be improved. There could be shared support, i.e. where someone in Egypt can respond."
"They might want to offer an MSP model for licensing, to offer the solution as a software as a service."
"It would be a value-add if they can include integration with other technologies or solutions, like Fortinet, Blue Coat, etc."
"When we load Intercept X, it puts a load on the device. When it is scanning, it slows down the device. A system with basic specifications completely slows down till the scan is complete. They should improve this part."
"I would like the solution to have more functions and to be more user-friendly."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"Could include some additional protection."
"If it covered more products, it would improve the XDR."
"If a customer wants to use Kaspersky on-prem, they'll need to spend a lot on the hardware. Their server must be strong because EDR is a heavy product. You need excellent hardware to run it. It might make sense to deploy the solution in the cloud. If they add features, it will only make the product heavier and increase the hardware costs."
"We'd like more integrations to be available in the future."
"My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives."
"The technical support team should respond in a more timely manner."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."

"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"There is an annual license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price overall is a bit expensive when compared to other solutions. There are not any additional fees other than the license."

"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
