Useful endpoint visibility, high availability, and helpful support
Datto EDR is used for detection and response for endpoints The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints. The solution could improve by having more deployment methods. I have been using Datto Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) for approximately three years. Datto…

Offers advanced filtering features and benefits from improved licensing and performance
There is a licensing issue with Intercept X Endpoint. Their licenses are user-based. Most of our customers use per device licenses, and they need per device licenses because they use one PC for multiple accounts. This creates a problem. There was one customer who complained about the slowness of PCs using Intercept X Endpoint. They use minor performance PCs, which causes their PCs to become slow.

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 of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."
"The ease of deployment has been good."
"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."
"Intercept X's smart prevention it's very good as so are its machine learning capabilities for troubleshooting channels and files."
"One of the best features of Sophos Intercept is that it repairs without slowing down the system."
"The anti-exploit technology within Intercept X Endpoint is excellent."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"It's a good antivirus software and has a lot of features. It now integrates with their on-premises firewall, which is perfect."
"The pricing is fair. It's not too costly for our small organization."
"The solution is scalable."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
 

Cons

"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."
"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."
"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of."
"Better protection in the endpoint, server, and mobile is needed."
"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."
"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."
"The price of this solution can be improved."
"The cloud management console could be a little more user-friendly."
"It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee."
"From the management side, we receive detailed information. Sophos has many features, such as Threat Hunting but that comes with the XDR version of the solution. There's Sophos Intercept X and then there's Sophos Intercept X with XDR technology. We bought the XDR and then now the MTR, Managed Threat Response version available too. They have different packages for clients which gives them different options to pick from. If Sophos could combine more features into one package it would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is not an expensive solution."
"There is an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution can be expensive depending on the company."
"We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
"We are happy with the pricing across all Sophos products."
"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."
"It is not very expensive but I don't have specific pricing details. The licensing is usually done on yearly basis."
"We have bought a three-year license."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"You can pay monthly, but most of our customers choose annual subscriptions because they are less expensive."
