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.

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

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."
"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."
"It's a good antivirus software and has a lot of features. It now integrates with their on-premises firewall, which is perfect."
"Technical support from Sophos is rated as nine out of ten, which represents high quality."
"The solution has very good usability."
"We most value the price and interface quality with Sophos Intercept X. We focus on solution quality."
"Machine learning is used to detect the threat and it does so by prioritizing the suspicious activities."
"After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works."
"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."
"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"The solution is a reliable and mature product. Its reporting function is robust, and the user interface is easy to use. End users can create customized reports with detailed reporting for any computer and export them in PDF or other formats. This reporting capability is very robust."
"Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
 

Cons

"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."
"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of."
"The policies could be nicer to manage."
"Features that should be improved in the upgrade involve the excessive consumption of the the solution's processor, RAM and resources."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability and updates."
"Needs more flexible reporting, particularly for medium to large size companies."
"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."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement. MacAfee's better than the ancient anti-virus solutions but it's a little slow to resolve. Many files with malware were destroyed through the network, and MacAfee doesn't detect anything."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"The local technical support could be better."
"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
"The solution takes up a high amount of memory and can cause the system to hang."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this product should be reduced because it is a little high."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The price of Sophos Intercept X is expensive. The license is paid on an annual basis. There are extra features that can be added depending on the endpoints. The solution is priced twice as much as the Comodo solution."
"While I do not have much experience dealing with the price, we have been entitled to a substantial discount on the solution in our use of it as an educational tool."
"Price-wise, it is good. Currently, we have a three-year plan."
"It is a high-cost solution."
"The price of Sophos Intercept X is competitive."
"Intercept X for endpoints is around $35 per user per year. The server version is $95 per server per year."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"The price of this product is good."
