Overall Satisfaction with Sophos Intercept X for Server

We are using Sophos Intercept X for Server on all of our servers. When we were looking into AV providers, we wanted something proven and reliable, but also something that is geared to help protect us from the unknown future. We also wanted something that was centrally managed so that we could easily manage all of the instances from one location.
  • It is very good at recognizing ransomware using AI and deep learning.
  • It integrates well with other Sophos products.
  • Easy to set up policies.
  • It's lightweight.
  • Reporting isn't as detailed as it could be.
  • The wait times for support are very long.
  • There is no way to push the installer out.
  • It has protected us from a ransomware attack.
  • Centralized management has saved us time.
  • It takes more time to install than others.
  • ESET Endpoint Security
Sophos Intercept X for Server's centralized management is installed in the cloud vs ESET which is installed locally. Having the system in the cloud allows admins the ability to troubleshoot and work with the system from anywhere without having to connect in. Sophos uses artificial intelligence to detect 0 Day Ransomware. ESET does not do this. The one advantage that I found ESET had over Sophos was that you had the ability to push our the installer to the servers.
Microsoft Office 365, LastPass, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Office 2016, Microsoft SQL Server, Sophos Intercept X, Sophos Mobile, Sophos UTM, Sophos Web Content Filtering, Sophos Secure Web Gateway, KnowBe4, VMware ESXi, VMware vCenter Server, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Microsoft Dynamics 365 (formerly Microsoft Dynamics CRM), Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business (formerly Lync), Adobe Acrobat DC, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Exchange, MS SharePoint, Barracuda Email Security Service, OneDrive, Veeam Backup & Replication, Google Analytics, Google Ads (formerly AdWords)
Sophos Intercept X is great for anyone who has other Sophos products or is looking into getting Sophos products. It is great for anyone wanting to provide security against malware and ransomware. If you are using Windows servers, I recommend the product. If you are heavily invested in other technologies that integrate better with other solutions, this might not be the product for you.
