Intercept X Endpoint

Antivirus potente ma non affamato di risorse durante la scansione in tempo reale.

Aspetti positivi:

Gestione online centralizzata che permette di controllare se i client sono protetti, di eseguire aggiornamenti e scansioni, di avere info sul S.O. installato, IP, utenti, device.Possibilità di bloccare applicativi e dispositivi (chiavette o altri supporti di memoria USB, ad esempio) sui client.Avvisi via mail in caso di file sospetti/infetti.Assistenza attenta ai problemi degli utenti, quel paio di volte (in svariati anni di utilizzo, su parecchi client) che abbiamo avuto necessità siamo stati seguiti passo-passo e con tempistiche veloci.

Aspetti negativi:

Non sempre blocca i siti sospetti (probabilmente perchè demanda tale operazione al firewall, e Sophos ha un suo ottimo firewall).Forse un po' complessa la gestione di blocco/sblocco dei dispositivi.Durante la scansione periodica incide veramente tanto sulle prestazioni del pc, se hai un HD meccanico ed un pc non velocissimo, il pc sembra quasi bloccato.A volte non individua il virus nel momento in cui il file viene scaricato, ma immediatamente dopo all'esecuzione/apertura; forse è dovuto al fatto che si basa sul comportamento e non solo sulla firma; questa segnalazione (in ritardo, rispetto ad altri) ha allarmato alcuni utenti. (ovviamente non c'è stata infezione, perchè il malware era stato sempre bloccato e messo in quarantena).

Number One and Smartest Solution

Commenti: Best solution that you can even sell over other AVs as an add on even if they are on a current contract.

Aspetti positivi:

It is the best software I have found for COMPLETE ransomware protection.

Aspetti negativi:

Price for Endpoint, Intercept X and EDR all adds up fast and can scare clients.

Great product within a top tier suite of hardware and software

Commenti: Considering that this is one piece to an overall package, we have been very happy and the end to end visibility is unmatched when researching threats in our environment. What few downsides are present are miniscule when packaged together with the rest of the offerings.

Aspetti positivi:

The deployment capabilities and consistency in using MDM deployment has been very important to minimize the opportunity for devices to be put into production without properly being secured. not all MSI packages are deployed the same and we have had products in the past that have installed well on some machines and not on others so consistency is key for the deployment.

Aspetti negativi:

The agent has not yet had all services re-branded after the Hitman acquisition which led us down an unnecessary rabbit hole. My only other complaint would be that the agent runs heavy on workstations and in many cases, has pushed us to upgrade to m.2 drives for machines that otherwise didnt need them.

Great protection, however...

Commenti: Overall it is a great protection option if you are looking for a big company, depending on your work, purpose of it and if you don't mind having to constantly request access to blocked applications... other than that, good product.

Aspetti positivi:

Sophos offers great overall protection, specially for big companies and networks. It is worth the money and value.

Aspetti negativi:

Only con I found with this product, which is to me a big pet peeve, is the need to contact our IT department because Sophos tends to block several applications and software used on my work space. Only way to get authorized to continue with my work is by contacting IT (product administration) so I can get allowance to continue through these checkpoints.

Sophos : A leader in Next Generation detection and response with deep visibility

Commenti: Sophos is way ahead compared to other products in machine learning and analytics-based attack prediction, analyzing the threats and sandboxing. Threat hunting with Sophos is exceptional and Memory usage by the agent is less feedback from end-users. It makes an analyst's job easy when it comes to an incident analysis by through the end device logs. It is only hard to pitch as it is a cloud-based platform for governments.

Aspetti positivi:

Sophos capabilities as detection and response to the Malware attacks are excellent. very deep insights into endpoint devices where it provides later movement, deep analysis, and storyline of the attack. It is a step ahead of predicting zero-day attacks.

Aspetti negativi:

Sophos is currently moved everything to cloud pitching for Government customers is hard because of data restrictions they want to implement on-premises. cost wise is Sopho's intercept X is higher compared to other vendors.

Good XDR Solution in market

Commenti: Overal Sophos XDR solution have helped us to keep safe network.

Aspetti positivi:

Threat hunting and analytic dashboard gives insights of the threats observed in the company network and the actions performed to stop the same.

Aspetti negativi:

Does not support some older version of OS which needs to be supported and product EOL should be atleast 10 yrs

Easy to deploy inclusive protection

Commenti: The software was very easy to install and configure. We have not had any issues with viruses or malware. We also have not had anything flagged by other solutions we have tested alongside Intercept X.

Aspetti positivi:

For such a sophisticated software approach it was surprising how low a footprint Intercept X was on our computers and networks.

Aspetti negativi:

The concept of non-database driven antivirus/antispyware solutions takes some time to wrap your (and others) heads around, but once you look into the process it is quite impressive.

The Terminator for Malware

Commenti: MOST EXCELLENT, overall experience. Cloud-based control panel and 24/7 managed support helps provide peace of mind no matter what size deployment you're working with.

Aspetti positivi:

Signatureless, Deep Learning, Neural Network based protection unparalleled by anything else in existence. Protects against today's threats and zero-day threats; even protects against threats yet to be seen. Not ONE single Sophos-protected machine has ever fallen victim to ransomware.

Aspetti negativi:

I honestly cannot think of anything that can be improved, or that I didn't like.

Strong Protection and Centrally Managed Make For A Great Experience

Commenti: We wanted a A/V solution that provided AI and cloud management.

Aspetti positivi:

Sophos Endpoint has been a great addition to our organization. It makes AV management far simpler than we could have imagined. With a centralized interface, we can manage PC's and deal with any issues with little knowledge to the end user. It integrates wonderfully with our AD and our Sophos XG Firewalls. The protection it provides is fantastic.

Aspetti negativi:

Occasionally we do encounter some issues with updates not always reenabling the endpoint. but it's rare and fixed easily. I do wish there was an easy way to push out the installer. Support from Sophos is slow, can be on hold for hours.

Excellent as protection highly recommended product, need to improve in reports, information details

Aspetti positivi:

Simply peace of mind! In 6 years, we have had no problem with security issues, ramson attacks, etc.

Aspetti negativi:

Improve in reporting and details in threats information/Alerts

The best End Point Protecction

Commenti: My work experience is to detect threats that other antivirus did not, in addition to obtaining a cause and root diagram generated by the tool to discover the thread of the infected computer, this is of great help for an administrator.

Aspetti positivi:

Actually the operation is excellent, it performs the locks correctly and it is not so intrusive when blocking other programs that are reliable, it is also extremely light and does not slow down the computer's processing. Best of all, with the sophos brand is the synchronized technology, in a scenario in which there is an xg firewall, if a computer becomes infected, the endpoint protection will send a heartbeat to the firewall to inform you and isolate the equipment to that it does not infect others over the network.

Aspetti negativi:

Probably the cost, the endpoint protection solution with Sophos its cost becomes high, however, it is worth having such protection for the equipment.

Does the job really well, but at a cost to computer resources

Aspetti positivi:

Sophos Intercept X is easy to install and doesn't interrupt the user with pop-ups unless there is a legitimate reason. The admin portal is also very useful. It is easy to know where things are in the portal and it is easy to read. When the users are set up properly there are a lot of tools for keeping track of the status of each user. It can show you what problems may be occurring on a user's machine, and it can even show you if their behavior (types of websites they are visiting, etc) is risky behavior.

Aspetti negativi:

Intercept X requires a lot of resources from the computer it is installed on. It does frequent scans throughout the day, often eating up a big chunk of memory. I have not found a way to minimize the impact on memory during these scans, and there isn't a built in option to delay a scan. Setting up users in the admin portal can also be tedious. If you don't add every user in the same way it can be difficult to keep user data as far as what you can see in the user interface. It helps to send each user their own link and to make sure you have a good naming convention for all of your computers. Before we started adding macs to our active directory every mac's name was the same and it was difficult to know who's computer it was from the directory unless it was properly assigned to a user. A lot of these difficulties were user error from us as the admins, but it wasn't easy to clean up and organize.

SOPHOS--My all in one

Commenti: SOPHOS provides a very easy to use interface for both their UTM/AV. I am usually in these products once a day if not more. Ran a test Ransomware scenario with a KnowBe4(designed for that) product and SOPHOS immediately isolated the test WS from the network. Everything. It was similar to pulling the network cable.
That quick. In fact it took a while to get the WS back online after SOPHOS cleaning. Recommend

Aspetti positivi:

SOPHOS is a replacement to several solutions we have used in the past. I am using SOPHOS UTM for my firewall and SOPHOS antivirus as well as using wireless access points/Mail management/et al.. The management of this product is extremely easy to use considering it is a web interface and they have centralized all their products.

Aspetti negativi:

Seriously...Probably the cost but overall not so bad considering the licensing and length of years we usually purchase.

Sophos, best protection

Commenti: Sophos supplies top security with maximum functionality

Aspetti positivi:

Sophos allows us to protect all the devices on our domain and keep them free from virus'. Sophos comes with a simple installer that can be used on either Windows or Mac OSX, this allows for quick, easy installations so we can quickly configure our devices to ensure less downtime. Sophos allows us to create multiple different profiles depending on the user or department. Once the profiles are configured, the permissions will be applied against the device instantly. We can also approve individual websites or applications, this allows us to keep a close eye on devices across the group whilst ensuring security is tight.

Aspetti negativi:

We have noticed with some hardware, although the are the same model, Sophos seems to block one but not the other. Obviously the hardware differs slightly but Sophos should recognise the model. Due to the number of users we have, this is a constant maintenance task.

One of the best security suites

Commenti: Fingers crossed, I have never experienced a glitch in our security after deploying Sophos to our endpoints. I hope it continues to do so.

Aspetti positivi:

What I liked about Sophos is the enterprise readiness of the solution to provide an all in one solution for the entire security landscape. It is a very robust and scalable solution for our company and with other companies I know who have deployed the solution. It even has its own Data Leak Protection mechanism.

Aspetti negativi:

Maybe the least liked about the software is the resources it eats up, when I have used it on an older machine (laptop). It really bogs down the system to the point there is not much to do while the program is doing its thing.

A Must Have Business Security Tool - Best Endpoint Security Features

Commenti: The software makes endpoint protection easy and also comes with encryption features. It has made it easy to keep Threats away.

Aspetti positivi:

What makes Intercept X Endpoint different are the many endpoint features it offersUsing Intercept X Endpoint is straightforwardIt comes with computer security featuresThe software makes encryption easy

Aspetti negativi:

Not a single issue as Intercept X Endpoint has been performing as it should

No more Virus

Commenti: I have been happy with Sophos and it has been on of the pieces of Anti-Virus software that has required the least maintenance and attention.

Aspetti positivi:

It's great for me as a user. Easy install with a installation package and easy to maintain. I basically don't have to do anything and any update is automatic. I can run the scan manually but it's also done automatically. The ease is perfect and I don't have to use any time within the application. I can ask IT to run the automatic scan at a different time and create a policy for you as the scan do take a lot of cpu.

Aspetti negativi:

The scan is pretty heavy on the machine but you can get around it with policies. I have asked IT to run the scan during lunch. It's working like a charm besides the heavy CPU usage.

Protects our end-users without interfering with their daily work. Catches more than previous product

Commenti: Catches more malware and PUPs than our previous antivirus product by far!

Aspetti positivi:

Sophos Central's cloud management makes for a much better experience than hosting our own management server internally. Our users get their definition updates from anywhere as long as they have Internet, and the endpoints report back in if they run into any trouble or malware. We know if someone picks up a virus or if their computer stops getting updates or if they call out of configuration compliance through automatic emails from the system, so are able to take corrective action right away.

Aspetti negativi:

Since the management server is in the cloud, it cannot do automatic deployments of the software to our endpoints. You either have to install it manually or have software deployment solution from another source. That being said, its command-line installation options are super easy.

Daily user

Commenti: My overall experience is very good and satisfied. I use to recommend to my known IT professionals about Intercept X Endpoint. SO that, they can be benefited by this software product.

Aspetti positivi:

Intercept X Endpoint is a very trustable software in the case of security and endless support. You can install this software and secure your organization every time.

Aspetti negativi:

Least means less, where i didn't finad anything till now. In markets each and every software comes with different perception. But Intercept X Endpoint has a good level of perception according to us.

Improved Endpoint Protection With Intercept X Endpoint

Aspetti positivi:

The software comes with amazing computer security featuresIt makes endpoint protection easy and is always updatedIt comes with some great encryption capabilities

Aspetti negativi:

Well, no major flaws as Intercept X Endpoint has been great and powerful

The complete package

Commenti: Overall security to make sure people do not do things they are not suppose to, and people are not trying to get into the network that shouldn't be.

Aspetti positivi:

Sophos products simply just work, and they work well. I have nothing to fear with Intercept X installed on machines. The great thing is, it ties into the Sophos firewalls, so if anything happens, the firewall can isolate that machine.

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing... no negatives about this software at all. Sophos has the complete package.

Feel safe with Sophos. Great value for the price.

Aspetti positivi:

It just works. There are not too many things I can say that about. Sophos is by far the best Anti-Virus software I have used and I have tried them all. Having it deployed in a corporate environment the past 7 years I can tell you it does work fantastic.

Aspetti negativi:

The Enterprise Console can be a bit laggy and clunky at times and give false information about which machines are updated. But the software works very well overall.

Excellent Endpoint Protection with Cloud Management

Commenti: Sophos Endpoint protection is fairly priced and adds piece of mind to device security, but requires the addition of remote access to complete the product.

Aspetti positivi:

Sophos Endpoint Protection is managed via Sophos Central, the cloud management portal for nearly all Sophos Products. It allows rapid deployment of Sophos Endpoint Software to MacOS and Windows, and reports and allows policies and users to be centrally managed. It's very good at catching nearly all issues.

Aspetti negativi:

Occasionally its not so good and some issues still require physical access to the device to remove the issue.

Real time protection that really works.

Aspetti positivi:

Endpoint makes setup easy for a large user. Great management console allows you to apply settings to all users quickly. It detects threats quickly and reduces stress level for our IT department

Aspetti negativi:

Some features require and additional license, ie zero day protection. To most this is a feature that should just be included even if it raises price of software. Support can take awhile to respond.

sophos intercept

Aspetti positivi:

Protects computers, never had an issue so must be doing it's job

Aspetti negativi:

Haven't noticed any problems as a user of the system
