Overall Satisfaction with Sophos Intercept X

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
  • It is a very cost effective solution. Pricing is good for what you get
  • The routine security issues that an come up on endpoints are handled automatically
  • Good reporting on security events.
It just works good and is easy to use. There is not much else to say, it is good for both experienced IT admins as well as SMB's who may not have dedicated IT teams. You get a lot of bang for the buck.

I have used many different products and Sophos has always been a straightforward experience.
Bitdefender was garbage, and it did not work well for non-persistent VDI desktops.

Even though we bought it we dumped it after a month and bought Sophos instead. The difference was like night and day.

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

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.
