What differentiates Sophos Intercept X Endpoint from other similar products?

Sophos Intercept X is excellent for preventing malware and reversing its effects, easy to install and keep up-to-date with information, including warnings sent to the administrator in case something goes wrong. It uses a very low CPU cycle during really good scanning while running. Although Sophos has a desktop application, most of its features and settings are managed through an online dashboard accessible through a web browser.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The final point agent is delivered with a single-packer package, which allows for easy use. Sophos works with standard SIEM products and integrates seamlessly, providing event visibility to security analysts to find the pattern.

What do you dislike most about this product?

They have support issues which should be improved, it may be nice to have a weekly/monthly digest to see what is going on and how the protection is holding up.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Sophos Central makes it very simple mitigate potential issues immediately. I can log in and remediate from anywhere. It is really good at informing us what is happening on our endpoints.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Saves Time

What differentiates Sophos Intercept X Endpoint from other similar products?

It integrates perfectly with an existing infrastructure, higly customizable but it has proved unreliable in some cases.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The support is higly qualified and always ready to help

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are limitations that can be encountered along the way and the debug process can be hard

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The platform is easy to manage and the agents are usually light but the product itself is very sensible to customization and can easily consume the machines resources especially for developers. The main raccomendation is to integrate the product with a SIEM that can help highlight critical events and build a consistent API structure to interact with the product.

Pros

Generous Negotitation
Continually Improving Product
Client Friendly Policies
Altruistic

Cons

Less Reliable
Less Efficient Service
Less Effective Service
