Intercept X Endpoint Reviews

Sophos offers great overall protection, specially for big companies and networks. It is worth the money and value.

Only con I found with this product, which is to me a big pet peeve, is the need to contact our IT department because Sophos tends to block several applications and software used on my work space. Only way to get authorized to continue with my work is by contacting IT (product administration) so I can get allowance to continue through these checkpoints.

Sophos Endpoint has been a great addition to our organization. It makes AV management far simpler than we could have imagined. With a centralized interface, we can manage PC's and deal with any issues with little knowledge to the end user. It integrates wonderfully with our AD and our Sophos XG Firewalls. The protection it provides is fantastic.

Occasionally we do encounter some issues with updates not always reenabling the endpoint. but it's rare and fixed easily. I do wish there was an easy way to push out the installer. Support from Sophos is slow, can be on hold for hours.

Easy monitoring the client from central server.
We are able to set customized download limit to the end users.
We could censor the unwanted websites at our campus.
Client can check their daily usage limit and use accordingly.
Sophos portal is very easy to manage and it can be accessed in remote login also.

There are some drawbacks in end user point of view.
In an organisation the employee will roam around the campus and there are some occasions will happen to login in multiple computers and it is not supported since the admins block multiple logins.
Data limit is really embarrassing.
Authentication is automatically signed off if the systems is kept idle for sometime.
I think Sophos is bit late in updating the databases.

It has a proven track record of malware resistance and its forensics or threat analysis is great. It can help narrow down exactly what happened and what files were effectively part of the launch and spread.

The biggest issue is more the cost for schools and so I am currently only able to deploy it on our Windows serves.

This software keeps us secure and safe. Easy to use. Easy to set up and great at removing threats

You can experience a slow down in processing while running.

It is a cloud based endpoint protection software which means virus definitions and other major updates are done easily provided internet connections is available. The anti-tamper feature that protects you from ransomware attacks as it prevents file types from being changed. It also provides extensive reporting of the endpoints activities to the administrator on the sophos central and also emails of potential security threats are sent to the endpoint administrator.

I cant think of any problems i have with this software so far my experience has been very good

It provides powerful management console for enterprise administrators to deploy agent to workstations, and monitor client status. With simple and clear interface for end user.

The client agent requires large memory usage, usually at least 1GB. As it has cloud-enabled analysis for unknown websites, client agents will send these website addresses to Sophos server, hence losts of bandwidth is consumed.

we use sophos to protect several hundred endpoints and 10's of servers. It alerts us to outdated versions or missed updates. Blocks many intrusions and allows for people to be grouped into policies based on network access needed.

Machines often need to be rebooted to stay current on updates and end users dont always restart leading to emails of outdated products

Sophos endpoint protection is a very easy to use security suite of products, that gives you a lot of features for a great price. Most of the additional features such as disk encryption are modular and use the same framework or console as the main product, which make deployment even more slicker.

You need to tweak your policies before deployment to your environment, as you get a few false positives.

I have used Sophos on both my work computer and personal laptops over the past twelve years and have never suffered any malware issues - despite regular internet use. I use the internet frequently - visiting numerous websites for information, purchases, etc. and Sophos has caught every potential threat.

I have not had any issue with this malware.

Endpoint security and control are very robust for any local or remote user

no cons at all after more than 10 years working with the product

This software is seamless. It just does the job quietly and efficiently and kicks in when needed.

You have to open the menu to find what threats have been dealt with, you don't always notice them as they happen. Not such a bad thing to be honest!!

The Intercept-X addon for Ransomware is a must in todays threat landscape. We've had instances where this addon stopped ransomware before it could start to encrypt files.

There is limited reporting with the cloud version. No cool graphs you can show management or anything like that. Also, email notifications of events seem to be delays often times.

This endpoint malware protection is easy for Administrators to use and monitor activity, and is low-impact to our on all-Mac video production company.

It would be very beneficial to have an Administrator remote-in option to manually remove PUAs when the software cannot remove the file. This would come in very handy when employees are remote, or infrequently within reach of the IT Administrator.

Macs don't get viruses?? Bull. Sophos provided the punch to rid my Mac of viruses and keeps it clean. No complains here!!

I have found NOTHING that I dislike about this software.

when it comes to your organization and internet security, it is hard to feel safe, Sophos does a very good job protecting your organization. I especially like the e-mail quarantine features.

I haven't seen anything I don't like so far, I felt like our Sophos was taking to many resources in our Server and for a little bit our e-mails went down, but that was a configuration problem and not a software problem,

the management console is really easy to use you can set policies and run report, you can also see real time network traffic.

One con we had was using Sophos cloud installer, if there service goes down then you can not install Sophos on any computers until they fix their issues.

The thing that I like most about Sophos is how reliable it is at protecting our systems. We have used other antivirus solutions in the past and they didn't catch anything. We had to deal with a number of ransomware infections before Sophos. Since switching, it has caught nearly everything it's run into.

The firewall portion is a little confusing to understand and also doesn't have that many features. While our old antivirus solution had a much more robust firewall, Sophos' firewall does not offer nearly as many options, such as a website whitelist.

I can feel that my laptop is safe thanks to sophos

When I forget pass, I need to call IT service desk but I understand the need

virus definitions are up to date compare to other software. Latest protection on ransomware before other softwares implemented this protection.

Software is not user friendly. for example, updating the virus definition is not one click. You have to go inside the software, right click and then update. Also, there are not much settings/customization you can do to the software compare to Norton.

Lightweight, non intrusive software. i've had no issues with infections on my machine

scans do like to happen when you startup, and can slow things down there. not very verbose at times on what it is seeing and preventing

As a user, it's easy to use on my Mac. I see when it is running in tool bar, hasn't hindered my work.

Nothing that I can think of, I'm not the administrator. Changing some of the settings can be a hassle due to security level.

Excellent detection and administration from the console and computer equipment are handled excellently.

When the tasks are executed from the console, the team loses mobility in applications due to lack of resources.

Great Product highly recommended, think about adding Intercept X for Anti-Ransomware

None, this product works, easy to install, and it runs.

Intercept X helps to detect and prevent Randsomeware and you install it on personal computers, laptops and servers. Intercept X has a management console. You can use it wiht Sophos endpoint for extra security.

I like a lot this software, for now i don't have any negative to say.
