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

"It is quite scalable. You can always add more users. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"The key factor that attracted me to Sophos Intercept X was the multi-platform. I have multiple clients that have mixed environments of Mac and Windows. I am able to deliver a standard solution, regardless of the platform."
"The solution has very good usability."
"The thing that I like about it is the synchronized security. You can tie endpoint protection and firewalls and a whole range of other services and products. You can get your servers taken in under this."
"One of the best features of Sophos Intercept is that it repairs without slowing down the system."
"The malware detection is the key feature."
"A valuable feature offered by Sophos is called Naked Security, and it entails the control managed by the firewall on the site regarding the desktop client interfacing with our cloud client."
"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."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The convenience has been great."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
 

Cons

"The technical support is the lone sore-point when dealing with this product."
"It doesn't filter with the QUIC protocol web policies."
"Should include additional integration."
"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."
"The customer service and support could be improved in regards to response time. It could be faster."
"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."
"There is a licensing issue with Intercept X Endpoint; these licenses are user-based, and most of our customers require per-device licenses because they use one PC for multiple accounts, which presents a problem."
"I am not very satisfied with the product's reporting overall, and it needs improvement in this area."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."
"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."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The interface is slow."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Sophos Intercept X is expensive. The license is paid on an annual basis. There are extra features that can be added depending on the endpoints. The solution is priced twice as much as the Comodo solution."
"They offer both monthly and yearly licenses."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"I have found the price of Sophos Intercept X to be reasonable."
"The solution requires an annual subscription."
"I would rate the price 7 out of 10, where 1 is most expensive and 10 is cheapest. Also, a little reduction in price can be a great move for Intercept X Endpoint."
"The solution offers both a three-year license and an annual license. I would rate the product's pricing a one out of ten."
"It is not very expensive but I don't have specific pricing details. The licensing is usually done on yearly basis."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
