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

"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."
"After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Technical support is responsive and adept."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"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."
"Synchronization with the firewall is most valuable."
"The platform’s most valuable features are ease of use, integration, and deployment."
"It's good that it periodically scans all my drives. I can stay up to date with the status of my drivers and update them if needed."
"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."
"A great console with a user-friendly GUI."
"It is scalable and stable and the initial setup is the easiest part of using the product."
"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."
"FireEye Endpoint Security's scalability is awesome. I think it is one of the best on that front."
"Provides good mobile device protection."
 

Cons

"Intercept X Endpoint is a very heavy solution that consumes a lot of RAM and should be made lighter."
"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."
"It could be a bit easier to implement."
"The ADR functionalities feel like they aren't mature enough. It hasn't been a long time since Sophos has offered reproduction. Due to the fact that it's so young, it has fewer functionalities than other and more mature ADR solutions."
"The policies could be nicer to manage."
"We've had difficulty with uninstalling the solution. When we try to uninstall an old version of the basic Sophos Antivirus, it doesn't seem to uninstall completely."
"Pricing is high."
"There is some issue with the reporting and refreshing information on resources that have been eliminated."
"They could provide better integration capabilities for the product with other services."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
"The central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."
"One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying."
"The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product."
"It has very good integrations. However, its integration with Palo Alto was not good, and they seem to be working on it at the backend. It is not very resource-hungry, but it can be even better in terms of resource utilization. It could be improved in terms of efficiency, memory sizing, and disk consumption by agents."
"If you have another endpoint product running on the same machine, you have to fine tune functions from FireEye to avoid performance and user experience issues."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can purchase a license for one to three years."
"The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure."
"Its price is reasonable."
"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."
"Its cost is good."
"The solution offers both a three-year license and an annual license. I would rate the product's pricing a one out of ten."
"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 solution is not expensive."
"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."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"The product pricing is high."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
