Does a great job protecting our systems. Email security has more features and easy to manage. You don't have to have your own server to run the endpoint security. Auto updates the endpoint and servers. With a Managed detect response team that does human threat hunting. Overall an awesome product.

Sophos Intercept X for Server in an EDU Setting
After the initial deployment of our VMs - we push Sophos Intercept X for Server out to them. Sophos Intercept X for Server is fantastic in that you can set different policies to different OUs or Security Groups - so certain deployments can have access to more web resources or downloaded applications than others, should you need that flexibility. Sophos Intercept X for Server is fantastic as a whole, as it is cloud-based, so you can have users manage these end devices remotely without the need for an internal VPN client. Updates or changes in policies are pushed down to installed devices immediately - which is great. This provides us with the first line of defense for our devices that need an external connection to the internet.
- Applies policies based on OU or Security group - for plenty of flexibility based on the needs of the user/device.
- Receives automatic anti-virus and malware updates from Sophos without Admin intervention - to protect against the latest threats.
- Easily able to be disabled on individual machines should you need to troubleshoot an issue without completely removing the product.
- Sends out email alerts without an on-premise exchange server whenever a potential vulnerability is detected - with plenty of details of what device and where the issue is located.
- The AD Sync application can sometimes be finicky - so that application could be improved upon.
- Cloud-based
- AD sync
- Email alerts (without on-site exchange server)
- Automatic AV/Malware security updates
- Easy to manage licensing
- More confidence in most end-users/other techs not compromising internal systems with Sophos' proactive response to downloaded threats.
- Cost is a bit higher than other options - but with E-Rate, we can afford it for our smaller district.
- Customer support is top-notch, and responds to email inquiries incredibly quickly.
We have been utilizing Sophos Intercept X for Server for many years now, but previously we used Symantec. This was before a push for everything into the cloud - so I feel a fair comparison of the products is not possible. Symantec worked for us at the time, but I'm not fluent in current offerings from them.

Intelligent AV for your server
We are using Sophos Intercept X for Server on all of our servers. When we were looking into AV providers, we wanted something proven and reliable, but also something that is geared to help protect us from the unknown future. We also wanted something that was centrally managed so that we could easily manage all of the instances from one location.
- It is very good at recognizing ransomware using AI and deep learning.
- It integrates well with other Sophos products.
- Easy to set up policies.
- It's lightweight.
- Reporting isn't as detailed as it could be.
- The wait times for support are very long.
- There is no way to push the installer out.
- It has protected us from a ransomware attack.
- Centralized management has saved us time.
- It takes more time to install than others.
- ESET Endpoint Security
Sophos Intercept X for Server's centralized management is installed in the cloud vs ESET which is installed locally. Having the system in the cloud allows admins the ability to troubleshoot and work with the system from anywhere without having to connect in. Sophos uses artificial intelligence to detect 0 Day Ransomware. ESET does not do this. The one advantage that I found ESET had over Sophos was that you had the ability to push our the installer to the servers.

You always stay safe with Sophos
We use it in our IT Department together with Development. We also offer it to other departments, but we are the departments taking care of servers etc. We use it to protect our servers against hackers, ransomware and what other virus attacks you can think of. We alsp connect Sophos Intercept X for Server with Azure in order to be able to administrate through our Sophos Central account.
- We can administrate Sophos Intercept X for Server via Sophos Central
- White - and blacklisting
- Automatic cleanup of viruses very powerful
- Easy monitoring
- Takes time to deploy and keep updated
- Resource heavy application when running
- Prevented virus/hacker attacks on our servers
- Have blocked applications that we do not allow
- Saved time on tracking virus, ransomware etc.
We aleady had few of the applications from Sophos, so it was a natural decision to try out Sophos Intercept X for Server. So for this specific case we went for the trial to check the performance and found that it did an amazing job. That's also why we didn't evaluate any other software.
