Alternatives Considered

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

The advantages of the application are great when it's first installed. We have a place to monitor our servers together with our computers - all in the same overview. If Sophos Intercept X for Server detects anything and it needs to be removed manually the exact file path will be provided. Most of the times everything will happen automatically. We get instant notifications when or if something happens. It's in general doing the job and disrupting attacks. We haven't been hit by any major attacks since we started with Intercept X and Sophos in general.
