Featured Reviews

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.
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"The deployment is quick. It just depends on the environment and what you may be replacing."
"This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."
"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 most valuable features of Intercept X are server lockdown, auto-remediation, and encryption monitoring."
"Its AI algorithms provide excellent protection against attackers."
"The most valuable feature is the behavioral, non-signature-based threat detection."
"The forensics within the solution are quite good. The ransomware mitigation is also impressive."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"Performance is very good."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
 

Cons

"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"When I use a proxy, I can bypass Sophos, which is an area that needs improvement."
"Intercept X Endpoint sometimes slows down machines due to high CPU utilization and significant RAM consumption during scanning."
"The performance offered by the product needs improvement."
"The initial setup can be difficult if you don't come in with at least some knowledge about the product."
"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."
"I would like the solution to have more functions and to be more user-friendly."
"If we can lower the price, it will be fantastic because it will generate more revenue for us."
"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, e.g. it needs more integration. It could also be more secure and more stable. In the next release, this solution should also include more EDR visibility."
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."

"I find the pricing to be a little bit expensive, although it is acceptable, for now."
