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.
Venugopal Potumudi - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Malware protection and application blocking are absolutely great. The DLP and malware features are very helpful. It is also very user-friendly, reliable, and scalable. It is easy to set up. We are also happy with its price and support."
"The forensics within the solution are quite good. The ransomware mitigation is also impressive."
"I am impressed with the tool's common dashboard feature. The solution is also easy to deploy and manage. Reporting is also easy with the software."
"Very stable solution."
"Scalability is good."
"The most valuable features of Sophos Intercept X are the ease of use and the policy options that are simple to understand. Overall, the protection is good."
"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 Managed Detection and Response service provided by Intercept X Endpoint is highly valuable. With a team of 600-700 individuals monitoring systems, they swiftly respond to attacks, either informing us to isolate or directly removing threats. This full MDR service is especially recommended for sectors like finance, where data security is critical. The deep learning technology within Intercept X Endpoint enhances our security posture by analyzing behaviors and algorithms to differentiate between legitimate users and threats, effectively preventing attacks on our network infrastructure."
"The extendability is great."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable."
"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."
"The stability has been great."
"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."
"I have not received any complaints about the performance."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
"The exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful. The logon tracker feature is also very useful. They have also given new modules such as logout backup, process backup. We ordered these modules from the FireEye market place, and we have installed these modules. We are currently exploring these features."
 

Cons

"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."
"I am not very satisfied with the product's reporting overall, and it needs improvement in this area."
"I would like the solution to have more functions and to be more user-friendly."
"Integration with firewall solutions could be better."
"The number one thing I would like is if their support could be a little faster and it would be a little easier to get a hold of support when you need them."
"Sophos needs to create a YouTube channel with educational material for technicians or engineers."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"The cloud management console could be a little more user-friendly."
"We'd like better UI on the management screen."
"The reports need more development. They need more details on the reports and more details taking the executive view into consideration."
"Search feature could be made more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The price should be improved, it's high."
"The Linux support is very poor. I use base detection. Currently, they are providing malware protection and logon track features in Windows and Mac. These features aren't available in Linux. It will be helpful to extend these capabilities to Linux. We would also like assets grouping and device lock protection features, which are included in their roadmap."
"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"Upgrading to new versions isn't easy and it can take a long time. Also, other solutions' tamper protection features are better than FireEye's. Clients should have access to our local information, but they shouldn't change settings on the system itself."
"The price of McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers need to pay for a license for Intercept X Endpoint based on the number of users and servers they have. The pricing is considered normal and not overly expensive."
"The pricing is actually quite reasonable."
"The solution requires an annual subscription."
"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."
"We were able to eliminate the ransomware using the one-month, full-featured trial license."
"The price of the solution is average compared to the market."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"We have an annual subscription."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."
"It is based on an annual subscription."
"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."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
