Considered Both Products	SentiOne Nick Salerno Senior Software Engineer Chose SentiOne SentiOne is a major part of our organization. We are solving a lot of problems in the organization by using SentiOne. It has been operational in our organization for a long time and has a great find for us all in all.

Sophos Intercept X Verified User Anonymous Chose Sophos Intercept X 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Sophos Intercept X Sophos Intercept X is one of the industry leaders for a reason.

IR Ian Reger IT Specialist Chose Sophos Intercept X Sophos Intercept X is easy to manage and deploy under your business.

William Scott Coates IT Support Specialist Chose Sophos Intercept X Webroot endpoint protection is not even in the same league as Sophos Intercept-X.

Easier to view user activities and apply policies and … Incentivized Helpful? AP Ash Patel Director of IT and Facilities Chose Sophos Intercept X I personally found Sophos Intercept X GUI to be easy to use.

Jane Updegraff Senior Systems Administrator Chose Sophos Intercept X Sophos Intercept X is a little less expensive than the comparable package from Trend Micro and a little more expensive than a comparable package from Symantec, but in my opinion, it's easier to operate and it's got better centralized controls than both of the others. But the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Sophos Intercept X Trend Micro offered similar protection, however at the time did not offer EDR as a solution.

User Testimonials
	SentiOne	Sophos Intercept X

We are very much impressed by their services, all in all as they are offering the best possible solutions to every problem which makes it more reliable and trusted in order to handle business. Incentivized Nick Salerno Senior Software Engineer Read full review	Sophos Intercept-X is well suited for any environment big or small. There is even a home version that is free that I highly recommend for anyone at home. If you are looking for endpoint protection that is centrally managed, catches everything, and has many features this is the product for you. Incentivized William Scott Coates IT Support Specialist Read full review
Pros	The platform easily measures social media, blogs, posts worldwide using different algorithms, collects public mentions, and automatically analyzes the situation then provides a customizable solution that will have more chances to get accepted and will work fine. It has the best features to be the best in terms of functionalities and features include in it. Daily report feature is also very intuitive. Incentivized Nick Salerno Senior Software Engineer Read full review	Sophos is a little too good at DLP. But it is indeed very good at not allowing our data to leave our endpoints without strict adherence to policy. Sophos is very good at protecting endpoints against viruses and other malware. Sopho is really good at informing us of what is happening on our endpoints. OOTB reporting is way better than expected. Incentivized Jane Updegraff Senior Systems Administrator Read full review
Cons	Customer support of SentiOne is not up to mark. They need to be more accessible and responsive to our questions instead of making us hold for hours and do not provide any solution which is tiring and less professional. Customer support needs a lot of attention and has more knowledge about the platform to be helpful. Incentivized Nick Salerno Senior Software Engineer Read full review	The migration from on-prem sophos to cloud sophos, could have been a little more seamless Would love to get more insight on what was blocked or flagged and what it was trying to do Better and more granular feature management from group policies Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We have gotten a great product for the price. Easy to maintain and set up on new devices. Support is great and easy to work with and understand. Incentivized Ryhlen Schoeberl Server Administrator Read full review
Usability	I just love to use this amazing software. Incentivized Nick Salerno Senior Software Engineer Read full review	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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	It is very supportive. I am a very contented user. Incentivized Nick Salerno Senior Software Engineer Read full review	Most of the support reps are fantastic. There have been a few though that have had to be escalated via Account Manager when they haven't followed up but this is a rare instance, and often followed up by the Support Manager for APAC. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Best thing was the help pushing out via group policy and was able to get instructions for that on sophos site Incentivized Ryhlen Schoeberl Server Administrator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	SentiOne is a major part of our organization. We are solving a lot of problems in the organization by using SentiOne. It has been operational in our organization for a long time and has a great find for us all in all. I like that feature that it gives me all information about new mentions to my inbox every day and informs me about it which gives day-to-day insights, change or update strategies. Incentivized Nick Salerno Senior Software Engineer Read full review	I don't feel it's fair to compare Sophos Intercept X with the versions of Symantec and AVG that I have used in the past - as that was such a long time ago. I'm sure those other companies have released far more features than I used all those years ago Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	The best feature that I like the most and have been using for a long time that its analytical section is up to mark. When I open the analytical section it gives me the all insights of my audience including their gender, location, days when most of the mentions are published which is great to have. It is best to have more marketing wins as it does not limit the searches of keywords. This helps to search multiple phrases connected with a marketing strategy which is life and most recent in trends. Incentivized Nick Salerno Senior Software Engineer Read full review	Before we had Intercept X, we had several infections of ransomware. Since that time it has stopped at least 10 attempts, saving us thousands of man-hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars. By decreasing the time needed for malware remediation, it has saved us the cost of .25 FTE in the IT department. Initial setup was cumbersome and cost us .1 FTE in additional costs the first year.
