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.

Reliable with good independent modules and a straightforward setup
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Having used Trend Micro as well, I would rate Trend Micro higher. However, I would still choose this product as a second option. When we recommend a product, we would recommend something based on the fit of the product and customer requirements. We worked with Defender, we worked with Trend Micro, and we worked with McAfee. All of them almost overlap in multiple use cases. That said, we do see the customer IT strategy and where they're going, and they are adopting Azure more. We know there are certain limitations in their landscape where there may be some old legacy systems, and in that case, then we would either switch back to McAfee or Trend Micro instead of Defender.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security on offer is pretty good. We are happy with it."
"A valuable feature offered by Sophos is called Naked Security, and it entails the control managed by the firewall on the site regarding the desktop client interfacing with our cloud client."
"After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works."
"Technical support is responsive and adept."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is cloud management."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the GUI."
"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"It is very valuable in finding out unknown malware."
"It has a feature called Isolation. If a device is compromised, we can connect it to our SOC, and no one would be able to access it. This way we can limit the damage to the network while we are investigating."
"The performance is good."
"The EPO, the ePolicy Orchestrator, is the best endpoint protection central management system."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"HIPS protects server files from being modified or deleted by unauthorized users. It's primarily deployed in the web tier."
"The threat scanning is excellent. It uses predictive technology and I can utilize attack data to help us fine-tune our systems and network infrastructure. This protects us against current and future attacks."
"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."
 

Cons

"The initial setup can be a bit challenging."
"The graphical interface could improve. Additionally, adding less expensive mobile device support would be helpful. Other solutions have this feature."
"They need to focus on their SLA or technical support. They also need to focus on their UI. They should also improve their content filtering tool and update it so that correct categories are there. Sometimes, when I want to block an online gaming website, it is not shown under the correct category. It is shown under another category. They need to review their content filtering tool on a bi-weekly or monthly basis and update the sites and categories. This will be really helpful for them."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"When there is an event generated by either the firewall or Intercept X, and the originating IP address is the same, these should be merged into a single event rather than two."
"They should work on the logs and events. Sophos Intercept X needs to increase the interface test so that it can export to a live event."
"Should include additional integration."
"The product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
"You do not have access to all the features when you use the Trellix web interface. For example, you cannot do device or drive encryption from the web interface. Also, when we're working with customers, it's sometimes challenging to get sales support. Delays mean we might lose an opportunity. Lastly, Trellix lacks some documentation about custom features."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
"Performance is a problematic area in the solution needing improvement."
"I would like to see more local integration for the applications that we use."
"In some cases, the detection part was not accurate enough. We opened a few cases for the vendor to help us with some miscategorized findings on the endpoints. There were some false positive detections, and we had to work with the vendor to get them tested. We even had some incidents that were not detected. It was a black box type of solution for us."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The price should be improved, it's high."
"Most of these types of solutions including others, such as Carbon Black and FortiEDR, all have the same features. However, Carbon Black is the leader when it comes to being robust and user-friendly and this solution should improve in those areas to stay more competitive."
"The technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Sophos Intercept X is competitive."
"The pricing is actually quite reasonable."
"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."
"We have an annual subscription."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"The solution is not expensive."
"As I am not responsible for paying the bills I cannot comment on the pricing."
"There is a license required to use this solution."
"It is not so cheap in comparison to Sophos and other solutions."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"They should reduce the cost or make it free, open-source software."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"The product pricing is high."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."
