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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is not just a simple virus scanning product. It handles more advanced needs."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is a web filtering and URL sanity checks. Overall the solution is well balanced with all its features."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"One of the best features of Sophos Intercept is that it repairs without slowing down the system."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Very stable solution."
"We have found the pricing to be reasonable."
"The solution protects us."
"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 is very simple and straightforward to use."
"Low performance requirements."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"Auto-Remediation"
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
 

Cons

"I am not very satisfied with the product's reporting overall, and it needs improvement in this area."
"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"The security is good but the feature set is limited."
"It would be a value-add if they can include integration with other technologies or solutions, like Fortinet, Blue Coat, etc."
"The solution is expensive, and it could be made cheaper."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
"This product does not handle USB drives well."
"Through Sophos Central I would like to see the ability to zero in and produce a report about the challenges being faced by a particular machine and user, to know if a virus is appearing only on that specific machine or also on others."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"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."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is actually quite reasonable."
"Price-wise, it is good. Currently, we have a three-year plan."
"I find the pricing to be a little bit expensive, although it is acceptable, for now."
"They offer both monthly and yearly licenses."
"There is a license required to use this solution."
"The price is pretty good."
"We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
"When you start going to the EDR technologies and the MTR, it is a little bit expensive. It's a very good technology, and obviously, you're going to pay for it, but the pricing could do a little bit of work."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
