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.

Centralized console enables efficient incident management and threat intelligence integration

I am struggling to export all alerts, such as those from the past five to six months, at once. I would like to extract these alerts in Excel format in one go, but I have not found this feature yet. I raised a ticket to the OEM, but I have not received a solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intercept X Endpoint is the only endpoint security product I know that provides content filtering and application controls."

"The deployment is quick. It just depends on the environment and what you may be replacing."

"Sophos Intercept X is a complete endpoint solution, representing the combination of two products in one, offering the same configuration and management."

More Intercept X Endpoint pros

"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Managed XDR is the console."

"Trend Micro Managed XDR has indeed enhanced our customers' threat detection capabilities. Many of our clients are utilizing it and have experienced positive outcomes. Overall, I would recommend it, especially considering the rising popularity of Trend Micro and its excellent product support."

"The initial setup is very straightforward. CIOs appreciate the ease of installation, server configuration, and the user-friendly dashboard."

"The tool has significantly improved threat detection and response times for my clients' organizations. The solution has performed exceptionally well, and my customers are pleased with both the performance of the system and the support they receive."

Cons

"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."

"Sophos Intercept X could improve on its setup process. They could make it easier to have a baseline set up for the system, or at least provide more understanding of what the baseline is when you first install it. This could be a matter of lack of training on my part, but it's difficult to receive training on solutions that are not Cisco. Cisco is the only vendor with classes or courses."

"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."

"They need to work on their SLA or technical support. Their technical support is not as good as Cisco's support."

"It's a big issue that there isn't a way to do remote deployment. It's actually difficult because you have to depend on a third party to make sure it actually works."

"This solution is not in the high ratings on many of the top review sites. This solution has to be near the top for me to continue using it."

"They should keep doing what they're doing. Both of them have entered the EDR/MDR space, and they're keeping up with their competitors. I have a hard time understanding why their capabilities aren't garnering more attention."

"The technical support is the lone sore-point when dealing with this product."

More Intercept X Endpoint cons

"I am struggling to export all alerts, such as those from the past five to six months, at once. I would like to extract these alerts in Excel format in one go, but I have not found this feature yet."

"Being cost-effective is crucial, allowing customers with lower budgets to access the services. Offering a range of services at various price points ensures that customers can find suitable options without being compelled to explore alternative products or vendors."

"There is a need for greater integration of non-Microsoft devices."

"Trend Micro Managed XDR could improve its support documents."

"On the financial side, it is quite expensive. If they could reduce the prices, it could attract more customers who are currently deterred by the cost."

"The product could benefit from some improvements in its interface and organization. Functionality-wise, it performs well, but there's room for enhancement in terms of user-friendliness. There are ample resources like documents and videos provided by most vendors to assist users, although reaching out for direct support might not always be straightforward."

"On the financial side, it is quite expensive."

"Trend Micro Managed XDR could improve its support documents. This would allow us to explore the solution better and provide a better presentation to our customers. Addiontaally, there could be more automation features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is actually quite reasonable."

"The price of this product should be reduced because it is a little high."

"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."

"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."

"The solution offers both a three-year license and an annual license. I would rate the product's pricing a one out of ten."

"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."

"Its price 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."

More Intercept X Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The solution is cost-effective."

"Trend Micro's solutions are considerably more expensive than competitors."

"The solution's pricing falls within a reasonable range—it's not the most expensive option out there, nor the cheapest."
