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.

Recognizes and mitigates a wide array of spam and phishing attempts
This is one of the best solutions for servers for advanced users. Advanced users, such as those working with banks and who have to make payments, are exposed to more attacks. The people whose job is to write, create invoices, register products, or do quotes. They don't need the EPR. They can use a…

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."
"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."
"The most effective features of Intercept X Endpoint for threat prevention are ransomware protection, miscellaneous behavior detection, and network threat protection."
"Sophos Intercept X is a complete endpoint solution."
"We use Sophos Intercept X for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in our organization."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"This is really good because it's applicable to zero-day threats."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything."
"The interface is great."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Panda Security Adaptive Defense are the useful hardware information it provides, light on resources, controllable from the console, remote scan functionality, and the blocking of a lot of URL malware."
"It allows us to stop activation windows."
"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
 

Cons

"The main real-time scanning takes most of the processing power of my notebook."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."
"Better protection in the endpoint, server, and mobile is needed."
"We tried to set up Sophos Zero Trust within my Sophos central cloud. It only works with Microsoft and I use Google. I'd like to see Google added."
"When I use a proxy, I can bypass Sophos, which is an area that needs improvement."
"The integration has room for improvement, especially with Mac OS."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."
"They could have more reports."
"The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"The implementation was difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"The price of the product is okay, in my opinion. The tool's cost per user and per annum basis is around INR 700 to 800."
"The solution offers both a three-year license and an annual license. I would rate the product's pricing a one out of ten."
"Licensing is based on the number of users. They give a discount for editors who are considered as important members. From what I know, Sophos products are not expensive. If you have a license extension, you just need to contact the editor or partner to change the mode of licensing or extend the license to cover more people."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."
"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."
"We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
"The price of this product should be reduced because it is a little high."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."
