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.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intercept X Endpoint has been stable, and I appreciate the centralized management and the reporting feature."
"Anti-virus captures malicious threats and an aggressive next generation firewall."
"The most valuable features are the range and restriction."
"The solution has very good usability."
"This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."
"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 solution is scalable."
"Intercept X's smart prevention it's very good as so are its machine learning capabilities for troubleshooting channels and files."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"Speed"
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
 

Cons

"The initial setup can be difficult if you don't come in with at least some knowledge about the product."
"The graphical interface could improve. Additionally, adding less expensive mobile device support would be helpful. Other solutions have this feature."
"Intercept X could enhance its support services, particularly in terms of response time and resource allocation."
"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."
"The price of this solution can be improved."
"It would be a value-add if they can include integration with other technologies or solutions, like Fortinet, Blue Coat, etc."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"I would inquire why it is not sold directly to end users."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not sure about the cost. I would guess it to be between $50 to $60 per license. This would be the cost of the overall subscription. There is no additional fee."
"The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure."
"We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
"The price of Sophos Intercept X is competitive."
"The price of the solution is average compared to the market."
"The price of Sophos Intercept X is expensive. The license is paid on an annual basis. There are extra features that can be added depending on the endpoints. The solution is priced twice as much as the Comodo solution."
"The pricing is actually quite reasonable."
"The pricing is average for software like this, but you can purchase additional services if you wish."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"It is relatively cheap."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
