Sophos Intercept X: Next-Gen Endpoint Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about Sophos Intercept X: Next-Gen Endpoint is its ability to detect and neutralize cyber threats proactively, including both known and new or unknown ones. It uses artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to provide solid and adaptable protection against a wide range of threats, which provides invaluable peace of mind in a constantly evolving security environment.

One aspect to improve in Sophos Intercept X: Next-Gen Endpoint is the initial learning curve due to the complexity of its interface and options, which can be overwhelming for some less technical users. Simplifying the user experience and offering a clearer guide for initial setup could facilitate the adoption of the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to highlight a few major features here: -Our day-to-day lives have been made easier by capabilities like Live Response and Live Discover under the endpoint detection response capability. The recently launched third-party integration on top has proven to be a lifesaver. -Our team can now work on any malicious detections and log them to notebooks using the investigation/cases capability. -The ability to block SHA values using the blocked items functionality has greatly aided us in addressing the shadow issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be ideal to have response actions for all third-party integrations available with the product, rather than just a few. -More refined and detailed reporting on the XDR/EDR interface is necessary for detection. -There should be an option to run queries to detect vulnerabilities depending on CVE ID.

We are completely satisfied with Sophos Endpoint Protection with Intercept X. It has effectively prevented ransomware attacks, including LockBit, Ryuk, and similar threats. It has consistently prevented potential security breaches, proving to be our main defense. As the threat landscape evolves, we maintain confidence in Sophos's ability to provide top-tier protection. Its dedication to product development and staying one step ahead of adversaries reinforces our confidence in its solutions. Its use and implementation are easy to assimilate, and customer support is of extreme quality. The integration into the teams we had has been comfortable and manageable. Its use in day-to-day operations is appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sophos is very strict with potentially unwanted applications (PUA). I know I shouldn't have this type of applications, but it forces me to create new exceptions since sometimes they are necessary. By default, Sophos blocks proxies and translators, in an environment where English is not our main language, this forces me to create exceptions for users. Sophos does not inform users if it has been updated, so they are not aware that they have an antivirus installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Number one in the world. There is no feature I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intercept X gives us peace of mind that our endpoints are being protected in real time from ransomware attacks (the fear of which is the sort of thing that keeps an IT admin up at night).

Importantly both signature detections and heuristic scans are utilised to safeguard users from the latest threats and allow for recovery of files if unauthorised encryption is detected.

Deployment and management of endpoints is particularly easy and intuitive too as the Endpoint software can be configured and installed from the cloud through Sophos Central (which we use constantly). We can easily investigate and respond to threats, configure web filtering exceptions and update/scanning schedules. The Endpoint sofware also integrates well and feeds back useful data for use with our Sophos Firewall hardware too.

When problems occur, Sophos Support are also quick to respond and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intercept X does have a relatively large memory footprint on the Endpoint devices and can eat up a few CPU cycles which is noticable when running on older harware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First it intergrates well with the other software we use. We have had very few problems with it interfering with people doing their jobs like we have with Symantec. The cloud based management is very intuitive. You can really dig deep into any issue with the XDR portion of the program. The threat hunting capabilities are really impressive but difficult to use. I have found the Intercept X stops most problems like people following bad links in web sites from happening. Intercept X is very easy to deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The XDR is impressive but not something you can use every now and then and be able to do much with it. They offer free on line courses but honestly I think the course was more geared to getting you to buy the MDR (Managed Detection Response) by showing you how complex it is, rather than showing you how to use it.

Sophos Intercept X Next-Gen Endpoint comes with impressive features such as lockdown, empowering sysadmins to thoroughly review server activities before execution. It excels in real-time scanning, provides in-depth policy customization, and stands out with its robust reporting and log features. Handling this product doesn't demand advanced skills. It was implemented without any glitch, it found to be very user friendly and support was good from Sophos. Now it is being used in all our branches.

When I first acquired Sophos Intercept X some years ago, I had reservations. I was exploring options with Trend Micro and other vendors, anticipating a possible switch in case issues arose.

However, Sophos Intercept X has proven to be a reliable and outstanding product, offering peace of mind for me and my team across branches.

Thank you Sophos for making our life easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I value the hands off approach to protection provided by Sophos. It free's up my time.
