We utilize Sophos Intercept X as our primary anti-virus product on all of our endpoint devices. This is an "upgrade" from the previous iterations of Sophos Anti-Virus, as Intercept X offers far more features than we had in the past. Sophos is fantastic at identifying malware and other undesirables attempting to execute malicious scripts that are out of the ordinary - and will automatically quarantine these threats so that they can be reviewed via the Admin portal. We also utilize Intercept X for it's web filtering/category-based options as a way of preventing work-from-home employees from circumventing our filtering policies while not in one of our buildings.
  • Zero-Day Malware Detection
  • Web Filtering
  • End-User Device/hardware controls
  • Email notifications of infected machines
  • Health Status Compliance At The Device Level
  • Machine and/or User-based policy control
  • Logs and reports easily read
  • Integration with Active Directory
To be frank, this product is fairly expensive. So I would recommend this to companies that are mid-sized or larger to condone the cost of the purchase. It does save me a significant amount of time in my day - being able to glance at the dashboard and see if there are any outstanding issues that require my attention, as not much digging must be done to accomplish this. So for our company, with a short-staffed IT department, it's incredibly helpful to us. We also qualify for Educational pricing which brings the cost down - which helps tremendously.

It is in my opinion, Sophos Intercept X is the most secure endpoint product on the market. I have used it for years and tell everyone I know that they need to be using it as well. Whether for home or business, Sophos Intercept X is my preferred endpoint and the only product I use. It's simple to deploy, easy to manage, and catches everything. I have run simulations against Sophos Intercept X and other products, and Sophos Intercept X always comes out.
  • Detects Malware
  • Protects against Ransomware
  • Centrally managed
  • Easy to deploy
Sophos Intercept-X is well suited for any environment big or small. There is even a home version that is free that I highly recommend for anyone at home. If you are looking for endpoint protection that is centrally managed, catches everything, and has many features this is the product for you.

We are in the healthcare industry and need to provide security for our users from malicious cyber attacks. These attacks include malware, viruses and ransomware. We have deployed the agent for all our users to ensure they are protected from the bad guys. Sophos Intercept X also has a data loss prevention component that allows us to monitor and detect when users are sharing information insecurely.
  • virus scanning
  • malware detection
  • Data loss prevention
Sophos Intercept X is well suited for ensuring endpoints are secure from viruses, ransomeware, exploites and data loss prevention. Our Post COVID world requires many of our users to still work remotely. Some work in public spaces and unsecure networks. Having Sophos Intercept X helps ensure our company resources are safe and our users are not exposed to malicious software.

Sophos Intercept X is to antivirus as Rod Woodson is to cornerbacks - it intercepts everything.

Sophos Intercept X is an all-in-one endpoint solution that has dramatically decreased malware and ransomware instances across our organization. Since we put it into place it has found thousands of potential infections that would have infected us via RATs, worms, emails, and malicious webpages. When you combine the power of Intercept X with the Sophos Central web console, it gives incredible administrative power to discover who the biggest problems are and then allows you to better target training and mitigation efforts where the problems originate.
  • Sophos Intercept X is great at preventing malware infections and rolling back their effects. I have seen this happen hundreds of times since we installed it
  • When combined with Sophos Central, you have an easy to use dashboard where you can manage all installations from a single pane of glass.
  • It's easy to deploy on machines and stays updated.
  • Good reporting features including alerts sent to the admin if there's ever something wrong with it.
Sophos Intercept X is what I would consider the premier antivirus, anti-malware, anti-ransomware software on the market today. It is easy to stand up and deploy thanks to the management side being in the cloud - there's just a small download that can be deployed via script to any computer on your domain. It scales easily from small businesses all the way up to large enterprises and comes in at a cost-effective price point for anyone along that spectrum.

Intercept X is being used by clients as an endpoint security agent. For new infections in the wild and partial threat matches, nothing is more aggressive.
  • Partial threat detection.
  • Low CPU cycles during scan.
This is the best product for deployment in areas with limited connectivity. This is not the best for deployment in environments where active software development allows risky behavior.

We use many modules of Sophos Central but Intercept X is used on all endpoint machines and servers in our environment. It is our anti-malware and anti-virus agent. It also allows us to set policies for web access and application access.
  • Application control.
  • Web control.
  • Threat remediation.
I cannot see a scenario where it is not well-suited. It stacks up against the competitors for all industries, small/medium/large. The price is also not outrageous when compared to competitors.

Intercept-X is used across the whole organization and on-top of Sophos' excellent EndPoint protection, it primarily addresses the increased threat that ransomware is presenting to our Charity. After running a number of ransomware tests against Sophos Intercept-X, it outperforms a number of market leaders and helps me get to sleep at night knowing our AV product is protecting us.
  • Identifies ransomware
  • Gives in-depth analysis on current and detected threats
  • Very easy to configure on top of existing products
Small/Medium businesses that are email heavy can rest easy knowing they're getting great value product with extremely good protection. It catches a wide range of ransomware variants.

Large businesses with a large number of devices may struggle, as there's a lot of detail captured with individual threats and troubleshooting is often time consuming.

Sophos Intercept X is our chosen endpoint security solution for all of our Windows endpoints (Windows and Windows Server) across the entire enterprise. We were already using Sophos before, and we replaced an older Sophos appliance with the cloud-based "Sophos Control" version instead, and we abandoned our on-prem Sophos web appliance.
  • Sophos is a little too good at DLP. But it is indeed very good at not allowing our data to leave our endpoints without strict adherence to policy.
  • Sophos is very good at protecting endpoints against viruses and other malware.
  • Sopho is really good at informing us of what is happening on our endpoints. OOTB reporting is way better than expected.
It works just as well as any other modern antivirus and it has a really nice web console that I find easy to use. I like the fact that the built-in OOTB stuff that you start with is really secure and pretty much complete right OOTB, so it's easy to get going fast. But I do not like that the sales and implementation staff did not make it clear that end users would no longer be able to write to USB or floppy (even when the operation that they want to do does not violate the DLP policy or the peripheral device policy in Sophos Intercept X) unless we turn off secure boot in the UEFI of each PC. That's something that has to be done manually on each PC and it's a pain. It makes sense that users can't drag data from a network share to a USB to write, that is not a secure operation, and I like that, but users should be able to copy and paste documents (that they own) from a folder on their own local PC to a USB stick without having to have someone from IT change their boot settings in their UEFI/BIOS. It's only doable for us because we have very few people that need to be able to transport files on physical media.

Sophos is utilized across the whole organization. It provides the layer of protection needed for endpoints and servers against various forms of viruses and attacks that batter the technology industry. The need for protection of assets is well provided with the Sophos product and its components with little interaction or annoying notifications to users.
  • Alert notifications can be sent directly to email as soon as any suspicious activity or files are discovered.
  • The endpoint agent is delivered in one installer package, allowing for ease of deployment.
  • Sophos works with common SIEM products and integrates well, giving visibility of events to security analysts for pattern detection.
Sophos works well in smaller organizations where the number of assets to be protected can be managed. If assets are not higher-end technology/memory, Sophos will "slow down" the asset with its scanning and detecting. There are, however, global settings to "tune" the product and disable scanning from files, folders, and processes that are known to be good. This does greatly alleviate utilization problems.

Sophos Intercept X has been added to the whole organization and all backend server as well (285 seats).
  • Block ransomware.
  • Notify administrators.
  • Revert back the data to the previous stat.
  • Blocks all executables from running.
We have been using Sophos AV for the past 5 years, we love it and it is light on the work stations. Once Intercept X launched we purchased only for our workstation a week later we got hit twice with 2 different users and it was fantastic, no data was lost, the laptops got disconnected from the network, the team managed to clean the infection and no data was lost. a year later we deploy it on the server after testing the effect on the server performance and functionality (which has a light effect on the performance). 6 months later one of our physician's accounts was hacked and the hackers tried to deploy Phobos ransomware and were unsuccessful and it also blocked the network access.

We are very pleased with Intercept X it was an investment worth every penny.

We use Sophos to protect all the machines in our environment. We also have the cloud set up so when our mobile users connect in the world we can make sure they get updates from the Sophos Database. We also get alerts if a system has not updated in a while which helps us find computers that are not used that often.

  • Licensing is per user not, machine. So a user could have multiple machines and not have to purchase so many licenses
  • Notifications for issues on devices where it has not contacted system in awhile
  • Notification when there is a threat that was cleaned and if any additional action is needed.
  • Blocking unwanted applications from running in the background when browsing the internet
I like it in our environment. 2e paired it with Sophos Intercept X for added protection where it detects unusual changes and rollback from changes that threats have made. All the information is on the same interface as well easy to use and deploy. Not sure what scenario it would not be able to be used in.

Sophos is more than your legacy AV.

It's being used across the whole organization.
  • Centralized management of endpoint security
  • Easy to understand dashboards
  • Protection against ransomware
  • Nice graphical analysis for malware behavior and the vectors involved in the attack
It`s ideal for small to big IT shops where a trained individual can pretty much oversee the endpoint health and get real-time data on their security posture.
Due to its centralized management nature and immense visibility into endpoints well-being, it requires constant monitoring and timely reaction (like any other security tool) which can be a daunting task if not done regularly as it easily piles up into thousands of action items that could take days/weeks to complete. With more visibility comes more responsibility of-course.

We use Sophos Endpoint Protection on our internal equipment, as well as client computers/servers. The product enables us to manage AntiVirus, Encryption, and Next Gen AntiMalware in a single portal with a single agent. The protection we get from this combo is second to none, and that's where the real value of this product comes through - tight integration to the entire platform...
  • Simple Installation.
  • Clean reporting.
  • Single pane of glass management with other Sophos products.
We use it everywhere, including mixed environments / Mac and Linux deployments. Where it may not be well suited is for extremely budget-conscious customers who are not willing to adopt the whole solution stack - that said, you get what you pay for and Sophos is cost competitive against other solutions.

This product is being used across the whole organization. We mainly use it as an advanced anti-virus solution to protect end users from malware and viruses. It has cut our monthly infections down to almost 1 or 2 a month from being much higher before implementation
  • Cloud based management is much easier than its on-prem solution
  • Easy to install and easy to get updates
  • Easy on the CPU but still very powerful
It is ranked highly by Gartner for a reason, the cost and performance are great. They stay up to date with virus engines. Every company really should have anti-virus even Mac computers. We run Sophos on sensitive computers too because it is not hard on the CPU and is pretty silent when its working well

Sophos is being used across our entire organization. As we have distributed locations, having Sophos cloud helps us both deploy easily but also makes day to day management and remediation simpler. We were looking for a tool that was meaningful in the sense of security but also simple to manage and having a fast learning curve. Another benefit for us is that it has been easy to add capabilities such as protection against ransomware and more.
  • Cloud dashboard has easy UI and the product is generally easy to manage. The capabilities are strong, so we don't have to compromise between usability and features.
  • We've been happy with the detection capabilities and feel generally well protected.
  • The pricing has been fairly aggressive, which is welcome in a midsize organization.
  • Alerts are meaningful, making it easy for us to act and re-mediate issues.
  • The MacOS client has been just as strong as the Windows client.
Sophos Endpoint Protection is great for smaller and midsize companies. It offers well-rounded protection capabilities while also being user-friendly enough that small and medium companies can easily adopt and maintain it while offering a great overview of your devices. For larger enterprises, integrating with a directory seems to be essential to allow for reconciliation of user accounts.

In October of last year, our then IT consultants advised our Los Angeles office to switch from AVG to Sophos Endpoint protection. We were told that Sophos Endpoint Protection is a superior virus protection program. AVG had given us a number of problems by frequently detecting false positives and quarantining programs we use quite often in our organization. So AVG along with Malwarebytes were both uninstalled from all our workstations & our servers replaced by the single protection program Sophos Endpoint Protection.
  • Sophos Endpoint Protection provides a web portal for the administrator to login. Here the administrator can examine and track which computer devices are being protected from virus attacks.
  • The Sophos Endpoint Protection web portal provides a dashboard entry page that shows a summary of what viruses may have been detected and quarantined. In addition this dashboard landing page shows a summary of alert messages sent from the protected computers like when a reboot is needed from a server after software updates.
  • From the Sophos Endpoint Protection web portal various agents like for workstations as well as for servers can be downloaded for deployment. Here you can quickly find and install the agent for the Windows OS, Mac OS and even how to proceed with mobile device protections.
Sophos Endpoint Protection is more well suited for larger organizations where they require protection from serious attacks, especially on the server side. With their robust high powered agent specifically designed for the server, large corporations would have no problems in paying a more heftier price to protect their servers compared to their workstations.

Sophos Endpoint Protection is one of the industry leaders in providing information security services for enterprises. They offer a whole range of security features for an enterprise. We use their client end protection as well as more advanced firewall security. It offers real time protection for our IT resources including web, mail and all sorts of malware protection.
  • The company offers one stop service for all security related needs.
  • Excellent Malware protection and recovery.
  • Deployment and configuration is a breeze using the consolidated web management console.
I think it's an excellent all in one antivirus protection software. It filters out malware and flags potentially dangerous websites as well.

We went with the cloud version of the software suite instead of hosting it on premises. It has an extremely simple all in one web management console. Sophos End Point Protection suite comes with a very well designed and comprehensive web management console. It is the single point of access for numerous services.

Sophos - Leader and Trusted

Rating: 9 out of 10
April 04, 2018
Sophos is a leader in the endpoint protection market. Manageability, system behavior, signature base are all top notch and can compete against any end-point protection software on the market. Sophos was a replacement for Kaspersky for enterprise-wide endpoint protection on workstations and servers. It is easy to deploy and is a reliable signature-based endpoint protection suite.
  • Malicious file identification
  • Signature-based detection
  • Web-based protection
I cant think of any endpoint protection scenarios where Sophos Endpoint Protection is not appropriate for deployment, perhaps restricted deployments that only allow one-way traffic (data diodes). Sophos is great for Mac, Windows, Linux, and server environments. It is easy to deploy and manage through its admin utility. Some direct endpoint management functionality has disappeared in recent versions.

Sophos EndPoint Protection is widely used by organizations that want robust protection, along with other functionality. It resolves the problems of virus infection, web & mail downloads and mostly real-time protection. When customers ask me, "why Sophos EndPoint"? I answer; "Support is awesome, definitions are awesome, why not?". We are in a digital era where everything moves very quickly, Sophos has adopted to this situation, and convert it into a strengths by always keeping ahead of needs. For example, the latest module "Add On" that Sophos provides is Anti Exploit Prevention, to protect users against ransomware.
  • Malware Detection
  • Awesome Performance (does not impact OS and/or Hardware performance).
  • Top of the line worldwide Support.
  • Multi OS Compatability with just one installer (for Windows) and Multi OS's compatability for management (one single console, centrally manages WinOS, MacOS, LinuxOS, etc).
Sophos EndPoint exceeds today's IT Needs and protection, since it outperforms competitors on many levels, such as detection and performance. It is difficult to find tools that perform so well, and also to detection. ISophos EndPoint is suitable for every organization since enterprise grade protection and communication exist (via SUMs "Sophos Update Managers") for remote offices and branch offices. Sophos EndPoint is less suitable for small companies, which only needs anti-malware. Sophos EndPoint Protection, at its most basic level, offers Web and multiple modules of protection.

Sophos EndPoint is currently being utilized across the whole organization on all leased/purchased Windows based computers. It is deployed via scripting in Group Policy for OUs. It is providing adequate protection on our endpoints and provides peace of mind to end users knowing that their work PCs are being actively scanned for threats.
  • Deployment and implementation was relatively easy to do
  • Reporting of issues to users via the desktop app and steps taken to remedy
For larger enterprises, the deployment capabilities of this protection suite are well suited. If you are in a smaller business or IT shop there are probably other more cost-effective and better-suited protection suites available.
