Saad Qaiser - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides web protection and filtering and application and peripheral control
I recommend that Intercept X Endpoint should include a patch assessment feature. Various vendors offer virtual patching solutions, which could be a game-changer, especially for the financial sector where frequent service restarts are challenging. These solutions allow patching servers without the need for restarts. Incorporating these features into Intercept X Endpoint would enhance its effectiveness in securing endpoints and servers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the security heartbeat feature with synchronized security very useful. It's a very nice feature that allows you to basically switch off an endpoint. When an endpoint has got a virus or something like that, or it's infected or compromised, you can isolate it from the network, but only if you've got an XG Firewall as well. It also provides ease of use. It is the only antivirus that can recognize 25 out of the 36 ransomware and virus techniques that have been often used in terms of the behavior base using heuristics. It's beautiful, utterly amazing. No other antivirus can do that."
"It does its job — it protects us from viruses. We don't really interact with it very much."
"Intercept X Endpoint has been stable, and I appreciate the centralized management and the reporting feature."
"The solution is overall quite good, the services are performing well. It is very good for those who are using standard PC configurations. It does not block their system up by taking up a lot of resources."
"Anti-virus captures malicious threats and an aggressive next generation firewall."
"The malware detection is the key feature."
"Sophos Intercept X is a complete endpoint solution."
"I consider the heuristics to be most valuable, the fact that the solution does not work solely on signatures."
"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."
"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."
"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."
 

Cons

"Intercept X Endpoint sometimes slows down machines due to high CPU utilization and significant RAM consumption during scanning."
"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."
"Pricing is high."
"I would like the solution to have more functions and to be more user-friendly."
"The solution is heavy in the usage of resources, you can notice the performance decrease. This should prove in the future."
"The integration has room for improvement, especially with Mac OS."
"It would be a value-add if they can include integration with other technologies or solutions, like Fortinet, Blue Coat, etc."
"The after sales service and support could be improved."
"Technical support is crucial, especially when facing critical issues. It's rated six out of ten. Improvements are needed in the support sector, with a focus on providing expert assistance during production periods."
"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."
"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure."
"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."
"The pricing is average for software like this, but you can purchase additional services if you wish."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Price-wise, it is good. Currently, we have a three-year plan."
"Licensing fees are paid monthly."
"The cost of Sophos Intercept X is reasonable."
"We were able to eliminate the ransomware using the one-month, full-featured trial license."
