Intercept X Endpoint Reviews

This solution can be used with any device including mobiles, desktops, or any appliances.

When I use a proxy, I can bypass Sophos, which is an area that needs improvement.

We have been providing this solution for one year.

It's a stable product.

It's scalable. We have 50 customers.

Technical support should be faster.

The initial setup is straightforward. The installation is easy, and it's faster than SAP.

Sophos Intercept can be deployed in a couple of minutes.

It will take one hour to deploy it for a firewall, and only 15 minutes for the endpoint protection.

We need one engineer to deploy this solution.

The price is okay. It's comparable with other solutions.

You can purchase a license for one to three years.

I would recommend this solution.

I have no issues with this solution, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

We find all features valuable. It has zero-day protection, which is the most valuable feature of Intercept X.

We have Intercept X with EDR. EDR is a very important feature. It gives an idea about the source of a particular attack. An administrator gets to know everything, which helps in understanding the things that need to be done or protected in the organization. Based on this information, an administrator can decide what needs to open or allowed in the network. Without EDR, Intercept X is like an antivirus, and the administrator won't get to know the things going on at the organizational level. I recommend purchasing an EDR solution for every organization.

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 have been using Intercept X with EDR for the last one year. We have its latest version. It is automatically updated through Sophos Central.

If an endpoint has at least 4GB RAM and the latest OS, the stability and performance are better. If RAM is too less, there is slowness.

We have implemented it for so many customers. One of them has more than 1,500 users. In an on-prem solution, scalability could be challenging. For example, if you are using 1,000 endpoints and want to add 500 more, you need to expand the server memory or RAM. In a cloud solution, you don't need to do any such thing.

They have a very less number of people in their technical team. When I call the Sophos team, it takes more than half an hour to connect to a technical person, which is very challenging. We should be able to get through to them quickly.

Its initial setup is fine. If an end-user is using an old OS version, you need to download the latest patches and all other things. For Windows 10 and higher versions, only the client is downloaded from Sophos Central, and it will automatically sync with the cloud.

I have implemented this solution for so many customers. I am pretty confident in the implementation of Intercept X.

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.

I would recommend Sophos Intercept X as well as Check Point. 

I would rate Sophos Intercept X a ten out of ten. It is a good and reliable solution.

We use this solution for endpoints and a firewall.

The most valuable feature is the AI functionality. 

It really does intelligent scanning to know if it really is a threat or not. 

This is really good because it's applicable to zero-day threats. 

The engine that is behind the Intercept X is really good because it has AI in-built.

The UI, the user interface it's really simple and straightforward.

The management is quite simple. it is backed up on the cloud. From the cloud, you can manage all of your devices through the firewall, including the endpoint solution and the email solutions. They are all managed in one panel. 

It's a straightforward product. I don't see anything that they can change.

One of the best parts of Sophos is manageability. You will find in the organization you just have one portal where we just manage all of the devices in one place. 

It's very simple. You just run an agent with the machine that communicates with the cloud portal. it is very simple to manage.

When comparing the security, I feel that Fortinet has more features as compared to Sophos Intercept X. As such, the feature set needs improvement. They should offer more with the firewall.

For example, Fortinet has a web application, it has application control, it has antivirus, and it has anti-malware. It offers many features.

Sophos is a bit behind when it comes to the features of the firewall itself.

The security is good but the feature set is limited.

They can up their marketing strategies. They need to increase their marketing efforts.

I have been using Sophos Intercept X for one year.

We are using the latest version.

It's a very stable product.

It's a scalable solution.

We have 100 users in our organization.

We have plans to continue using this solution.

Technical support is very good.

I was using Kaspersky for endpoints. I changed back because Kaspersky was using too many resources on my machine. Also, I changed because of the complexity.

The installation was straightforward.

It took a day and a half.

The deployment for a medium enterprise can be done by one engineer unless they are deploying several appliances.

I implemented this solution myself. We did not use an integrator or vendor.

Licensing costs are not expensive.

They have the hardware for different products, different appliances for different specifications.

Sophos bought Cyberoam. People who were Cyberoam customers needed to migrate to the Sophos platform. They could migrate to the Sophos platform while they were still on the Cyberoam product or the Cyberoam appliances. 

You can see the kind of work that went back into backward compatibility of the Sophos platform to the Cyberoam platform. 

People could actually migrate from that Cyberoam to Sophos, and their licenses as well.

Overall, I am perfectly satisfied with the product. I have no complaints.

I would definitely recommend Sophos Intercept X to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily brought on the solution to replace Symantec's product, as Symantec was purchased by Broadcom. The company in question has a lot of stuff, and 40 users, and is a pure Windows environment. They don't do anything on Mac or Linux, for example.

So far, the solution has been working quite well.

Sophos offers a manuscript response. 

The product has three tiers that you can choose from when you buy. The highest is a Managed Threat Response. We chose the middle range, which offers Intercept X and is more than just Malware protection.

This solution is a kind of Next-Gen anti-virus.

The product has some web filtering, which blocks people from going to websites they shouldn't be going to. 

It supports the Windows 10 server platform. 

The solution offers a centralized view of the status of protection, via a central console for users to check the status or the health of the endpoints.

So far, the solution has met all our expectations. It's blocked malicious websites effectively and stopped people from going to places online that they shouldn't be going to. It's automatic. We simply took the default settings and we were finding people right away that were going to illicit sites, and we were able to see that easily in the console.

The package we use also comes with spam filtering features, which are quite useful.

We're still new to the solution. We haven't come across any weakness yet. There aren't features that are missing.

The initial setup can be a bit challenging.

I just deployed the solution a few weeks ago. It's quite new at this point. We've had it now for a little over a month.

The solution is extremely stable. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs and glitches. It's kept us safe. Nothing has gotten through. It's reliable.

Currently, the company only has 40 users, and therefore there are no scalability issues so far. However, it's a cloud-based centralized console, so that will help with scaling in the future if the company decides to expand. It wouldn't be hard to do. It's completely achievable.

Technical support is okay. I'd give them higher scores if I didn't have to contact them about the initial console setup. That said, they were helpful. Their service so far has been about average.

We previously used Symantec.

We switched solutions for a few reasons. The first one is that Symantec was bought by Broadcom and there were some unknowns about what would happen with the product. Support typically gets worse when Broadcom buys a product, and we wanted to step away on the off-chance that could happen in the near future. 

We were also looking to consolidate and to find a replacement but to also get something that had spam protection and something that was easily obtainable for a small business. Sophos ultimately could hit all those checkmarks.

The initial setup with the centralized console was a little bit challenging. It wasn't complex per se, however, due to the fact that the instructions weren't clear, you can get stuck at certain points. I opened up a case for support, and at that point, I was able to get under the console. You could say the onboarding of additional administrators was a challenge. The centralized console was also a bit difficult.

After that, the implementation was pretty easy. You simply remove the old one, add the new one, and then, with the new one, you could send the user an email link, or you could send them a path to where the software is. 

I do not know the exact costs offhand, however, it's my understanding that their pricing is listed publicly on their site and would be easy to find. Sophos seemed surprised that their pricing was public. They were shocked that I could just Google it and it came up.

There are extra add-ons you can purchase over and above this product. The add-ons cost a bit more, however, they offer extra security advantages.

We are a reseller.

We deployed the latest version of the solution. I don't have the version number on hand, however.

It's a good product to consider if a company is looking to also do spam filtering. What Sophos has as well as a firewall, and it'll give a company a little bit of tighter integration, and that's good. Having those additional security tools as add-ons is an excellent option. We personally haven't gotten their firewall yet, however, it is nice that that is an option.

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. Overall, in the short amount of time we've used it, we've had a positive experience.

We upgraded the EDR and so far it's doing good. It patches the things that we weren't able to patch in previous antivirus hardships.

The solution has very useful response modules where we can get the recommendation on what needs to be done every day around detection.

The patches on offer are very helpful.

It's pretty good at protecting us as an anti-virus.

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. Due to this issue, when we installed Intercept X, we had installation conflicts. The company needs to figure out a way to make installing their old products easier and more complete.

We bought this solution in the middle of last year. It hasn't been an extremely long amount of time.

The only issue we had with Sophos during installation was a problem around removing old versions of Sophos products from machines so that we could properly install Intercept X. There seemed to be some residual aspects of the older version, and that affected our ability to install the newer version. It was quite a headache for us.

We've been looking at Symantec and have been looking for information to compare it to Sophos. We're trying to decide which of these we'd use as the standard solution.

We're just a customer and end-user. We don't have a special business relationship with Sophos.

Overall, I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've had a very positive experience so far.

Aside from issues with overwriting old Sophos versions, it's been a pretty solid product.

We use the solution and we are also reseller of it. We offer it to our clients as well.

We primarily use the solution for security in order to protect our users and our endpoints.

The simplicity of the product is very good. I'm not a very technical person, therefore, the ease of use is very much appreciated.

Integrations are pretty easy to handle. That's very helpful to us.

The pricing is fair. It's not too costly for our small organization.

I can't think of any features that are lacking.

The solution needs to ensure it is keeping up with the latest malware defenses and security advancements.

It could be a bit easier to implement. 

I've been using the solution for a couple of years at this point. It's been a while.

The stability of the solution of pretty good. We've never had issues with instability. It's reliable. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

The solution can scale. If a company needs to expand it out, it can do so with ease.

We are a relatively small organization. Therefore, we don't have too many people using the solution. There are 20 of us, give or take.

I've never used technical support. I can't speak to their level of knowledge or how quickly they respond.

The initial setup has a moderate amount of difficulty. It's not too hard or too easy. 

I'm not sure how long deployment generally takes, however.

The solution isn't too expensive. We're pretty happy with the pricing.

We are a small company and we don't use enterprise-class solutions. Our customers are mainly mid-size companies. I am a reseller. However, I do use this solution within our organization.

We're using the latest version of the solution. I'm not sure of the exact version number at this time.

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. We've been happy with it so far. 

Overall, I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution as endpoint protection as well as for endpoint detection and response. It's like an EDR. It's basically used to prevent ransomware.

I would say that it's difficult to really say how it's improved our organization. We had never actually been hit by a ransomware attack prior to installing Sophos and never had Sophos tell us that we're experiencing one. That said, it's very important to be protected. Getting attacked would be a disaster.

We were looking for something that could sense ransomware attempts, to encrypt files, and cut off and reverse attacks as well as alert us to issues. That's what the Intercept X is designed to do. It's very good at security and protection. It offers very good reports.

The initial setup is simple.

The biggest feature that's on the server version that we're using, the EDR, is the ability to push data on threats that it's seeing over to another management platform, like a managed detection response service. It's nice that it's possible to do this and we don't have to pay so much attention to the alerts. They can for us.

It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first. Otherwise, it thinks you're a virus. It would be ideal if there was some sort of setting where you could warn the system it's just you in there doing routine maintenance.

I've used the solution over the last couple of years. However, I haven't used the product too heavily.

The stability is relatively good. We've had a few false alarms, however, there's nothing major that's happened so far. It seems free of bugs and glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's good.

I haven't personally tried to scale anything. It's probably pretty scalable because you don't have an appliance. Appliances have limitations as they have a set size or capacity. It is a cloud-based console, therefore it can probably scale pretty well.

We have 80 people in our organization and everybody uses the product.

I'd rate technical support pretty high. I'd give them an eight out of ten. They're helpful. They are knowledgeable and responsive. We've been satisfied with the level of attention we get when we need them.

We didn't have anything previously for anti-ransomware. We just had the Kaspersky antivirus. However, it wasn't able to detect ransomware specifically. Therefore, we put Sophos Intercept X on to do that.

We've found the initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not overly complex. We didn't have trouble setting everything up.

We're using the latest version of the solution.

We've got Sophos Intercept X on the notebook computers along with Kaspersky and then on the servers it's only Sophos EDR, which has both antivirus and Intercept X. All are bundled together.

The console's on the cloud and that's just installed on the clients, however, they all communicate with a self-hosted JIRA cloud console.

I'd advise those considering the solution to probably just go with the antivirus portion as well. That way, you've got it all under one console. We're juggling two consoles, Kaspersky and Sophos. It would be easier if everything was under one.

ON a scale from one to ten, I'd rate this product at a nine. We've been very happy with it.

We primarily use the solution in order to check the correct flow of the workstations.

We have the complete solution. We try to see if we have any malware, ransomware, in our workstations, and detect and respond. It's very good at detection. 

The solution has very good usability.

So far, it's working quite well for us and we've been very happy with it.

We don't often need support, however, when we do, they've been quite helpful.

If you have good hardware and a good memory, you won't have a problem with this solution's performance at all.

The solution is pretty complete and works well for our organization. I can't recall not having any specific feature on hand.

The initial setup can be difficult if you don't come in with at least some knowledge about the product.

The solution can run slower on older computers. When you do a scan, you need to configure the scan to run in the time not when your traffic is high. The performance can be affected if the traffic is high and you are trying to scan. This isn't really the solution's fault. It may be an issue with the robustness of the machine

I've been using the solution for around two years now. It hasn't been too long.

The stability is very good. We have no complaints in this area. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's not buggy. It's reliable.

Personally, I have not tried to scale the solution, and therefore can't speak to the scalability itself. For our organization and its size, it works well. We have approximately 100 people in the company. 

We've used technical support in the past. I've found them to be very good. We're quite happy with their level of service, even if we very rarely need to call on them. I'd give them very high marks - maybe 9.5 out of ten for the level of support they provide.

The initial setup can be challenging for those that come in blind with no prior knowledge of the solution. That said, we're pretty knowledgable, so we went in knowing the product and therefore we didn't really have trouble in that sense.

You need to make the deployment, and you need to put the agent in the workstation. That is the most difficult part of the solution. If the company is not centralized, the deployment of the solution is hard. That can be true for any product, actually. However, if you have some solution, for example, to make the deployment of different software for you, you can make the deployment easier. That way, you can centralize the configuration, and set the configuration for the complex platform. 

For us, it took two weeks to a month to deploy the solution with the assistance of a software platform. However, that can vary according to the company and its size and environment.

We're partners with Sophos.

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using.

When implementing Sophos Intercept, other organizations need to know that the deployment can be a bit difficult. It's a good solution with a challenging implementation. YOu really need to centralize your deployment. If you have a solution that can help ease the deployment process, it's worth it.

Overall, we are very happy with it. I'd rate it at a ten out of ten.
