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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Sophos Intercept X is easy to install and has a lower price than similar solutions."
"Technical support from Sophos is rated as nine out of ten, which represents high quality."
"Technical support is responsive and adept."
"Anti-virus captures malicious threats and an aggressive next generation firewall."
"Offers artificial intelligence, security metrics and a lot of information gathered to make decisions."
"We most value the price and interface quality with Sophos Intercept X. We focus on solution quality."
"Sophos Intercept X is a complete endpoint solution."
"The deployment is quick. It just depends on the environment and what you may be replacing."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
 

Cons

"The initial setup was not very user-friendly."
"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."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."
"When I use a proxy, I can bypass Sophos, which is an area that needs improvement."
"In terms of the site-to-site VPN elements, they tend to concentrate. It's quite simple when there are Meraki devices at both ends of the VPN but if there is another user at one end, on another device, it can be a bit tricky. So they could really simplify that process a bit."
"I would inquire why it is not sold directly to end users."
"They don't have the full stack of offerings as compared to the other competitive products that we see."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"User management could be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"The interface is slow."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required to use this solution."
"The pricing is average for software like this, but you can purchase additional services if you wish."
"Intercept X for endpoints is around $35 per user per year. The server version is $95 per server per year."
"You can purchase a license for one to three years."
"Price-wise, it is good. Currently, we have a three-year plan."
"We were able to eliminate the ransomware using the one-month, full-featured trial license."
"I would rate the price 7 out of 10, where 1 is most expensive and 10 is cheapest. Also, a little reduction in price can be a great move for Intercept X Endpoint."
"The cost of Sophos Intercept X is reasonable."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"The license isn't expensive."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
