Intercept X Endpoint Reviews

We use the solution for endpoint protection and particularly against ransomware. There is CryptoGuard capability within Intercept X. They're also competitive, so people actually leverage it to test the environment against ransomware. It also has the capability to send a warning in any attack. Say they want to assist in the environment so that we are able to run a case incident. I know what has happened, what's happening right now, and then probably what we need to be concerned about.

We have used the solution on-premise previously, but we currently use it on cloud.

I'm aware the on-premise is fading out, so I'm migrating other clients that are running companies to the cloud.

The most valuable feature is the anti-ransomware capability. It's been helpful because we have been seeing a lot of information around what the ransomware hit. It would have actually hit the environment before it was protected and Sophos was able to prevent it from ruining the environment. Sophos does this with the firewall to be able to achieve synchronized security, whereby we are able to see an automatic isolation of infected devices or compromised devices on the network.

The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon. I also find it narrow of an attack. Even though we have Sophos running on the network, we still have the system being hit. That was probably because Sophos is not running our data. 

Improvement should actually be made on remote capabilities. I would like to see additional features that provide capabilities that show a lot of sources that the attackers are actually making.

I have been using this solution since it was released. We are working with the latest update.

The solution is stable and reliable.

It is easy to scale.

Technical support is good.

Previously, I worked with McAfee. I also have experience using Kaspersky.

McAfee has a component for exploit prevention which works similarly to Intercept X. I've actually seen Intercept X working better than that, especially because in Intercept X you're also leveraging from machine learning.

It's a big issue that there isn't a way to do remote deployment. It's actually difficult because you have to depend on a third party to make sure it actually works. I'm inexperienced on third party use, and it becomes very tedious and almost unmanageable. We have to start helping customers fix their issues at no cost.

The solution requires maintenance, but it is automated.

It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. I would recommend Intercept X to other users.

We are using Sophos as an endpoint protection solution.

It's too early for me to really evaluate the solution at this company, as I've only been at the organization for a month. That said, I have used Sophos before.

So far, the protection aspect seems to be good. 

I have used Sophos in my previous job and it has been a stable product. 

The product scales well. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. 

The challenge with Sophos is whenever there's an escalation to a level 3 or level 4 or a certain kind of important issue, or if you want to reach out to the leadership, it's difficult to do so.

They don't have the full stack of offerings as compared to the other competitive products that we see.

While I've only been at the organization for about one month, it's my understanding that the company has been using the solution for about a year.

The solution is stable. From what I have witnessed, it doesn't crash or freeze and there are no bugs or glitches. Historically, the performance has been good and I've found it to be reliable. 

The solution is very scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so. It's not a problem.

We have about 5,000 users on the solution currently.

The support on offer isn't ideal. In terms of the support on offer, for example, if there was a zero-day kind of attack or something, the turnaround time that Sophos offers is not acceptable. They should improve their responsiveness. We are not 100% satisfied. 

I've only been at this company for one month and have yet to contact technical support on behalf of this company.

The installation process is very simple and straightforward. It's not overly complex or difficult. A company should have any issues handling deployments. 

Currently, we are considering other solutions and may move away from this product.

We're just customers and end-users. The company does not have a business relationship with Sophos. 

I cannot speak to the exact version of the solution we're using. My understanding is that we are on whatever the latest version is. 

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

I wouldn't recommend the solution at this time as we are considering going to another solution. 

It is easy to interact with, and its cost is also good.

The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities.

I am really new to it because I just joined a new organization. It has not even been two weeks.

Its stability is good so far.

It is scalable.

Its cost is good.

I would recommend it for small and medium enterprises. I would rate Sophos Intercept X a six out of 10.

We primarily use the solution for endpoint protection. 

The endpoint protection capabilities are great. 

The security on offer is pretty good. We are happy with it. 

I love the threat management on offer.

Their AI is quite good.

We haven't had any issues with stability so far.

Sophos has a central management dashboard, which I'm happy about.

The installation process is very straightforward. 

I'm mostly quite happy with the solution. I haven't had any issues with it. 

From the firewall side, from the Intercept X to endpoint protection, everything is there, so there's nothing much that I can complain about.

The solution can be expensive, although we do see the value in it.

I've used the solution for over a year now. 

The stability has been good. There are no bugs or glitches. it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

We have over 200 employees on the solution currently. I haven't had any issues with scaling. 

I'm quite happy with the level of support on offer. 

We've used also AVG. We've used it in quite a few different places for different systems.

I found the implementation process sot be easy. It wasn't a problem at all. I did not find it to be overly complex or difficult. 

We have administrators and managers that can handle any technical stuff. 

We were able to handle the setup ourselves, in-house. We didn't need any integrator or consultant assistance. 

We have paid for three years of licensing. 

It is expensive, however, for what you getting out of it, from the firewall side and to endpoint protection, everything seems to be worth it.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations. I'd rate it at a ten out of ten. 

We use a normal EDR solution in the office: Sophos Intercept X, for endpoint detection and response, email protection, and data loss prevention.

I've been using Sophos Intercept X for a long time, and I'm currently in my second year of using the solution.

Sophos Intercept X is a very stable solution.

My impression of Sophos Intercept X is that it's a scalable solution.

For the installation of Sophos Intercept X, we had to ask support from their sales staff. The installation process didn't take much time, as it was completed within an hour.

We implemented the solution through an integrator.

We pay for the Sophos Intercept X license annually.

We were initially using ESET.

I'm not yet satisfied with Sophos Intercept X, but I know how to use it. It's good for now, so I can't think of what I'd like to change in the solution.

We have up to 25 users of Sophos Intercept X, and one person in charge of the deployment and maintenance of the solution. For the installation, that person works with an external consultant.

I'm recommending this solution to others who may want to start using it.

I'm rating Sophos Intercept X an eight out of ten.

We have split our operations into work at home and on-premise. We have over 2,000 or 3,000 work-at-home agents. Some of them do not connect to us via a virtual private network. They connect directly to our CRM clients. In order for us to ensure that we have visibility and to be able to protect our PCs, we are using Sophos Intercept X via the cloud.

We have been a client of Sophos for close to nine or ten years, and we have not been compromised with ransomware or anything like that during this period. The whole Sophos solution set has been very useful.

There are additional security features in Sophos Intercept X as well as proxy rules and settings that help us in minimizing the sites that our agents can go to, even after their work hours. 

We had some initial problems with our deployment, and they were more around uninstalling Sophos Basic and installing Sophos Intercept X. We had some challenges with some of the uninstallation scripts. They can improve the deployment of Sophos Intercept X when there is already an existing Sophos version. They can also provide more information in the form of best practices and lessons learned from previous findings. A knowledge base with this type of information would be helpful.

We've been a Sophos client for close to nine or ten years. We started using Sophos Intercept X last year.

After everything is deployed, I've not heard anything negative from my team. It seems stable. 

Given that it is a cloud implementation, Intercept X is very scalable.

We have about 6,000 or 7,000 users. The majority of them are customer service agents. We are using both Sophos Basic and Intercept X, and our plan is to migrate the rest of the nodes to Sophos Intercept X. However, our migration plan might change because we are getting a requirement for Cynet from our clients who use Cynet. They are about 4,000 in number. 

We are rather satisfied. It has not gone to that level where I have to escalate to Sophos Philippines for support. The only pain point that we had was related to the installation and deployment, given that we had to deploy outside of our network.

We had some initial problems with our deployment, and it was more around uninstalling Sophos Basic and installing Sophos Intercept X. 

Its setup was rather complex because we support different clients, and the configuration of the PCs of each client is different. If every PC is the same, the initial setup might be straightforward, but we support over 30 different campaigns, which makes it challenging. We were able to deploy it for 2,000 or 3,000 agents, but it was not as seamless as we wanted it to be. It ended up taking four or five months.

We had Sophos Philippines and a local partner of theirs to assist us in this whole process. Overall, the experience was positive, but it could have been better. We could have received some more assistance from Sophos, either Sophos Philippines or Sophos headquarters, in terms of script development. Some of the issues were resolved by my own engineers by tweaking some scripts.

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.

At this point, we are kind of positive about Sophos Intercept X. Our overall experience, after the deployment challenges, has been rather good.

I would rate Sophos Intercept X an eight out of ten.

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. 

The pricing could be a bit lower to match the normal retail pricing.

I have been using this solution for the last four months. Currently, I am using the latest version.

It's really scalable. We easily did 5,000 installations in six hours. It's good at scalability.

Some of our SMB clients have 20 users, and some have around 200 to 300 users. A big enterprise client has around 5,000 users.

I don't set these products up, but they look pretty straightforward and simple to set up. The deployment of 5,000 users happened in around six hours. The deployment was obviously automated a little bit.

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.

I would definitely recommend Sophos Intercept X. It's the number one product in my go-to-market strategy. 

I haven't used it so much, but from what I've seen and played around with, it's a brilliant product. It has already got everything. It does what it's supposed to do and does it better than anyone else out there. If you look at Gartner Quadrants, they are at number three in terms of leaders. The Microsoft Defender ATP is number one.

I would rate Sophos Intercept X a nine out of ten. It is a beautiful product, and I love it.

Our primary use case is the interception solution in Sophos Intercept X.

We use Sophos Intercept X for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in our organization.

The future's about anti-malware, next-generation firewalls, and IPS. We value the IDS features of Sophos Intercept X the most. This is the best solution that we use and need.

Sophos Intercept X has room for improvement in the user management of live events.

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 stability of this solution was great. Sophos is a very powerful tool for all of our needs.

We have an enterprise company. There are branches all over the world. Support for 50 schools over the internet is what we're supposed to intercept. It is scalable.

We have about 500 end users. For deployment and maintenance, we require just a few people. It is done by me and one of my colleagues.

The technical support is not good because we are in Iran. We don't have any solidarity support from the company. We have some sanctions on. We just handle everything by ourselves.

Before Sophos, we had older hardware that was not able to handle this software. We decided to change the solution to the Sophos device.

The setup of Sophos Intercept X was straightforward. Our deployment took about two days, each day six to seven hours of work.

We have used both consultants and a reseller.

We renew the license for one year at $10,000.

Sophos Intercept X is easy to deploy. It has all the features for a small, medium, or large scale business. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate this product an eight. 

The security of other devices on Cisco is more reliable and stable, but the user control in Sophos is a feature that Cisco doesn't have.
