Has struggled to detect major threats but has offered basic protection over time

Intercept X Endpoint could learn from CrowdStrike in terms of overall performance and filtering because performance is most important, especially these days as Windows is getting buggier and buggier, which puts a huge load on the PC, and even with the most advanced CPUs and everything in place, it still lags in performance in so many places, thanks to Windows' clumsy design of these collaboration suites that make it extremely heavy on PC's resources. The interface of Intercept X Endpoint is quite old-fashioned. The Sophos interfaces, including for Intercept X Endpoint, are quite bad actually; to be very honest, even in UTM boxes, they are not great at all. You can hardly see a very small portion of windows while it's creating the firewall rules, and we have been complaining about this for quite some time, but there hasn't been any improvement on those grounds. Intercept X Endpoint's anti-ransomware capabilities failed us during a bad attack, and just because of our own backup policies, we could restore our normal operations; otherwise, if we had to depend on this solution, we would have been long dead because the infection was so bad, it couldn't even detect the infection. Intercept X Endpoint cannot handle zero-day attacks; in my experience, last year, we had this major issue with a malware attack, and it happened just because of our backup policies that we were able to recover without any support from Sophos, which just told us they would charge us some 1 Crore in rupees. Intercept X Endpoint should improve their implementation; things will never be perfect for the new world. This new world is always facing new kinds of attacks and new ways to compromise the system. They need to learn fast, implement fast, and sometimes redesigning the solution is the solution—not just patchwork. There was a time we used to love Sophos because of its fresh design and innovative thought. In my experience, when technical companies are led by MBA professionals, they lose their shine on the technical part and become more dependent on target sales; it turns into a marketing-centric operation that loses the technical focus completely.

An affordable tool that is easy to learn

The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Seqrite developed a feature that can help restore deleted data. If there is a ransomware attack, our company can restore the data as Seqrite keeps a copy in an encrypted and complex format. If there is any ransomware attack, our company can restore the data. If the data is deleted by any of the users in our company, and if we want to recover it, then it can be done through the process that the tool uses to restore data during a ransomware attack. There is a command through which users can recover the data from the laptop.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support from Sophos is rated as nine out of ten, which represents high quality."

"The most valuable features are the cloud administration and the strength of the ransomware protection."

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

"The most valuable feature is the behavioral, non-signature-based threat detection."

"The most valuable features of Intercept X are server lockdown, auto-remediation, and encryption monitoring."

"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 base product and the anti-malware feature are most valuable."

More Intercept X Endpoint pros

"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security pros

Cons

"When we load Intercept X, it puts a load on the device. When it is scanning, it slows down the device. A system with basic specifications completely slows down till the scan is complete. They should improve this part."

"It would be a value-add if they can include integration with other technologies or solutions, like Fortinet, Blue Coat, etc."

"We've had difficulty with uninstalling the solution. When we try to uninstall an old version of the basic Sophos Antivirus, it doesn't seem to uninstall completely."

"The policies could be nicer to manage."

"Intercept X Endpoint's anti-ransomware capabilities failed us during a bad attack, and just because of our own backup policies, we could restore our normal operations; otherwise, if we had to depend on this solution, we would have been long dead because the infection was so bad, it couldn't even detect the infection."

"It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee."

"The performance is very slow and should be faster."

"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."

More Intercept X Endpoint cons

"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."

"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."

"The pricing could be a bit lower."

"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."

"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."

"User management could be improved."

"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."

"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."

More Seqrite Endpoint Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were able to eliminate the ransomware using the one-month, full-featured trial license."

"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 price of the solution is average compared to the market."

"The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure."

"The price of the product is okay, in my opinion. The tool's cost per user and per annum basis is around INR 700 to 800."

"As I am not responsible for paying the bills I cannot comment on the pricing."

"It was fairly and reasonably priced."

"You are able to purchase more licenses for the number of devices or servers that you require. There are many other features available but our license does not include them, such as XDR, which is endpoint detection and response. We have not explored the new features as of yet but plan to in the coming future."

More Intercept X Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The license isn't expensive."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."

"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."

"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."

"It is a cheaply priced product."
