Sophos Intercept X - Good Value and Great For SMBs
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Intercept X as part of our MDR/MTR Solution.
It is the primary endpoint Security Solution that all Sophos is built on.
We required endpoint security that would integrate with our Sophos Firewall, Sophos Central cloud based management as well as our Managed Threat Response. We use it on over 200 endpoints of various types from PC's, laptops and persistent and non-persistent VDI Desktops. We use the Server Version for all of our Server VM's.
Pros
- Easy to Install
- Works Well with Non-Persistent VDI Desktops
- Integrated with Sophos Central and Firewalls
Cons
- For Non-Persistent VDI Desktops It Required a Deployment Script
- Endpoint Heartbeat does not like going through an intermediate router
Likelihood to Recommend
We use it to secure endpoints both in our offices, branches as well as Laptops and Devices out in the wild. With Sophos Central we always have endpoint telemetry and if required a backend remote shell if we decide to isolate a device for security reasons. Sophos Intercept X is the backbone of the Sophos Security Solution.
