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.
Karim Mostafa - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the supervisory side of it where we can watch the throughputs, and even the loading of the device, to see how much traffic is happening."
"After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works."
"I consider the heuristics to be most valuable, the fact that the solution does not work solely on signatures."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"One reason why I have stuck with Sophos is because it grabs it and deals with it, and if it's known malware, it can quarantine it or delete it."
"The security on offer is pretty good. We are happy with it."
"We most value the price and interface quality with Sophos Intercept X. We focus on solution quality."
"The stability has been good."
"The implementation and integration are easy."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a very powerful tool for us. We use a lot of third-party software that integrates well with the solution."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"We used to have a lot of phishing attacks and all these kind of things for end-users so we decided that we needed endpoint security. We evaluated some solutions and found that Kaspersky is the most appropriate in terms of endpoint security and the speed of the user machine. The encryption is a major factor from our end."
"The most valuable feature is the management center."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's an extremely user-friendly product."
"The performance is good. It doesn't use a lot of resources, which is crucial for us."
 

Cons

"I would inquire why it is not sold directly to end users."
"I would like to see better support for virtual and desktop infrastructures."
"There is some issue with the reporting and refreshing information on resources that have been eliminated."
"It would be better if it can automatically generate a report for each and every user so that the users get to know the things that shouldn't be accessed from their PCs. It can have information about malicious and non-malicious sites so users are aware of them, and they don't access malicious websites. Such reports can be generated at the end of the day. We should also be able to get through to their support team quickly. Currently, it takes more than half an hour to get through to a technical person."
"I am not very satisfied with the product's reporting overall, and it needs improvement in this area."
"The after sales service and support could be improved."
"The security is good but the feature set is limited."
"Sophos needs to create a YouTube channel with educational material for technicians or engineers."
"From time to time, some users loose connection via the Network Agent."
"I would like to see better-enhanced features, such as protection against ransomware and different types of malicious malware."
"The performance is not very good."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business could improve the flexibility of use."
"The solution needs to lower its pricing."
"The solution could provide more frequent updates."
"The product is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is reasonable."
"The pricing is quite expensive compared to the rest. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten; one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
"The solution offers both a three-year license and an annual license. I would rate the product's pricing a one out of ten."
"You can pay monthly, but most of our customers choose annual subscriptions because they are less expensive."
"There is a license required to use this solution."
"On a per-user basis, my company has to pay a certain amount of money."
"The price of this product should be reduced because it is a little high."
"I think the price of this solution is good."
"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The solution requires a license and there are different license packages depending on the number of users you need."
"Kaspersky is priced well."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not an expensive solution."
"For 300 nodes, we pay about 15,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($3,500 USD)."

I recommend that you take a look at Tanium’s industry-leading EDR and TR platform for Full Visibility, Compliance, TR, and virtual management either on-premise or via TaaS. The Tanium agent is lightweight, doesn’t require any additional infrastructure, and due to its patented architecture allows managed devices to work together at the edge.
