Intercept X Advanced with XDR

Overall Satisfaction with Sophos Intercept X

We use Sophos Intercept X as our XDR and it works extremely well with seeing and blocking PUAs, blocking sites, and following rules we have set it place. The main issue we run into with Sophos is getting it integrated with other systems to have a single pane of glass. We also cannot see when scans have completed. Oftentimes when there is an event and we are trying to figure out the cause for and the support we need is behind a paywall.

Pros

  • Blocks access to sites that have a bad reputation
  • Follows Policies well
  • Blocked possible PUAs
  • Isolates machines that have a risk of infection
  • Has a decent dashboard for recent threats

Cons

  • Detailed Scan results
  • Letting us know when scans have completed
  • Allowing us to group machines and run continual scans at different times
  • Easier integration with other software
  • Does a great job keeping employees from accessing inappropriate websites.
  • Blocked any software not deemed adequate for the company.
  • Lack of integration is a problem when trying to pinpoint when an issue happened and correlating it with other security software.
  • Often times legitimate websites are blocked, but there is no specific reason as to why. Just says it was blocked, but does not give a tag.
The usability has never been a problem. Sophos Intercept X is a program you can install and let protect your company without much intervention. Apart from a few policies, Sophos will keep you protected better than most any product on the market. Sophos Intercept X works quite well when you are looking to "tighten your grip" on user's access to websites, programs, and add-ons.
Sophos Intercept X is one of the industry leaders for a reason. Apart from integration issues, Sophos Intercept X stands above the rest when it comes to protection and usability. I have used at least 30 different antiviruses, antimalware, and antiransomeware programs and none come close to what Sophos Intercept X does on its own. Sophos Intercept X does more than some vendors peddling what they call a SIEM.

Do you think Sophos Intercept X delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Sophos Intercept X's feature set?

Yes

Did Sophos Intercept X live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Sophos Intercept X go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Sophos Intercept X again?

Yes

I would recommend Sophos to most colleagues due to how easier it is to use and how you can essentially just let it protect your environment. It works well with most other security software, though does not integrate so easily. I have used Sophos in to different industries and it does what it advertises with little to no glaring issues.
