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

"The malware detection is the key feature."
"We have found the pricing to be reasonable."
"It's quite simple to use and user friendly."
"It is quite scalable. You can always add more users. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"It provides a feature for scanning and analyzing endpoints, which is a value-add for our infrastructure. With the advancements in the Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), Sophos Intercept X analyzes an APT and the behavior of the endpoints. It then gives us a detailed dashboard with more information about the endpoints and their security and risk level. While deploying Sophos Intercept X, we identified a lot of vulnerability and risky endpoints that our previous solution didn't cover, which proved that this solution is the best."
"The package we use also comes with spam filtering features, which are quite useful."
"There are products that are technically stronger. However, this product has everything in one solution, which makes it a strong endpoint option."
"The solution is overall quite good, the services are performing well. It is very good for those who are using standard PC configurations. It does not block their system up by taking up a lot of resources."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"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 ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
 

Cons

"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"The product defends very well on its own but could possibly use enhancement in giving users more controls."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
"The tool is not stable on Linux systems."
"It should offer better security updates."
"The price of this solution can be improved."
"I am not very satisfied with the product's reporting overall, and it needs improvement in this area."
"We tried to set up Sophos Zero Trust within my Sophos central cloud. It only works with Microsoft and I use Google. I'd like to see Google added."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"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."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite expensive compared to the rest. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten; one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"Its price depends on the scenario. It is very expensive, but it is not more expensive than other vendors. The price of Check Point and other vendors is much higher than Sophos."
"The price of this product should be reduced because it is a little high."
"It is not very expensive but I don't have specific pricing details. The licensing is usually done on yearly basis."
"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."
"We are happy with the pricing across all Sophos products."
"We have bought a three-year license."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"It is relatively cheap."
"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."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
