What differentiates Sophos Intercept X Endpoint from other similar products?

We can detect all of these viral risks with Sophos Intercept X. It offers us a thorough study of the hazards that we face on a regular basis via electronic channels. Sophos Intercept X is incredibly easy to set up on all of our business's devices.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Sophos Intercept X is simple to use. We must tailor it for our environment, just like any other endpoint security solution. But once it's in place, all we have to do now is manage it on a regular basis and keep it running smoothly. We practice what we preach because that is what we do for our customers. We still have a lot of control over the security solutions we use and how they work with our endpoints.

What do you dislike most about this product?

When we try to run Sophos after resetting our systems, it takes far longer than it should. As a result, it may take some time to open the tabs or the home screen the first time we use the system after a restart. Our workflow is disrupted.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It has fantastic customer service, both on the web and in the cloud, and they reply quickly to our questions and concerns. If you're on the fence about switching service providers, I recommend testing out the cloud portal's free edition, which works just as well as the commercial one.

Pros

Enables Productivity
Efficient Service
Client Friendly Policies
Altruistic

What differentiates Sophos Intercept X Endpoint from other similar products?

Sophos Intercept X can have heartbeat communication with your NGFW (Sophos XGS Firewall) to have a lateral movement protection to your whole network included remote sites.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Sophos Intercept X provides an in depth view of your whole network through XDR and integration with your Sophos XGS Firewall. It sends heartbeat message from your endpoint to the firewall and if monitored inactive, not compliant or with a malware it goes on a red state and isolates itself in the network.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Lack of disk utilization configuration and MAC addresses of the endpoints are not available

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you have Sophos Intercept X you need to have an XGS Firewall to maximize your purchase
