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 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."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"Anti-virus captures malicious threats and an aggressive next generation firewall."
"What I have found the most valuable about Sophos Intercept X is the ease of use with management administration and the solution's ability to stop exploits and ransomware."
"The solution has very good usability."
"After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works."
"We most value the price and interface quality with Sophos Intercept X. We focus on solution quality."
"The solution is stable."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"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."
 

Cons

"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention."
"They might want to offer an MSP model for licensing, to offer the solution as a software as a service."
"The problem is that if you have a lot of different components going on, each managed under a different umbrella, then you're going to be spending a lot of time hopping back and forth between the different components to see, "Well, I got hit here. What did my firewall see? I got hit in the firewall, the firewall says it allowed that attack in, did it land on anything to compromise any of my endpoints?""
"They need to focus on their SLA or technical support. They also need to focus on their UI. They should also improve their content filtering tool and update it so that correct categories are there. Sometimes, when I want to block an online gaming website, it is not shown under the correct category. It is shown under another category. They need to review their content filtering tool on a bi-weekly or monthly basis and update the sites and categories. This will be really helpful for them."
"Deployment on cloud needs to be carried out manually."
"To be a perfect product, the price would have to be a bit better."
"It's a bit heavy on the computers. So once you install it, the computer slows down. It is a resource-intensive solution."
"It would be better if it can automatically generate a report for each and every user so that the users get to know the things that shouldn't be accessed from their PCs. It can have information about malicious and non-malicious sites so users are aware of them, and they don't access malicious websites. Such reports can be generated at the end of the day. We should also be able to get through to their support team quickly. Currently, it takes more than half an hour to get through to a technical person."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"The interface is slow."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find the pricing to be a little bit expensive, although it is acceptable, for now."
"One can pay for the license annually, or at two and five year intervals."
"The price of this product should be reduced because it is a little high."
"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."
"You can pay monthly, but most of our customers choose annual subscriptions because they are less expensive."
"On a per-user basis, my company has to pay a certain amount of money."
"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."
"The product is moderately priced."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"The license isn't expensive."
