	Sophos Intercept X
Considered Both Products	Sophos Verified User 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 Chose Sophos Intercept X Sophos Intercept X is one of the industry leaders for a reason. Apart from integration issues, Sophos Intercept X stands above the rest when it comes to protection and usability.

William Scott Coates IT Support Specialist in Information Technology at ACIC Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Pharmaceuticals, 51-200 employees) Chose Sophos Intercept X Webroot Endpoint Protection is not even in the same league as Sophos Intercept-X. I have tested and compared both sides by side, run simulations and it's not even close. Plus the Sophos central management is so much better. Easier to view user activities and apply policies and … Incentivized Helpful? Ash Patel Director of IT and Facilities in Information Technology at Trilogy Inc (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 201-500 employees) Chose Sophos Intercept X I personally found Sophos Intercept X GUI to be easy to use. The agent is easy to deploy on client machines and runs in the background silently. It has a very good virus, malware scan engine that picks out a high percentage of malicious software. The price was also very … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sophos Intercept X Sophos is much more user friendly and scalable for partners who wish to [centralize] all security across the IT industry, from email security, server security, phish threat management and more. Incentivized Helpful? Beau Sorensen COO at First Choice Home Health & Hospice (Hospital & Health Care, 51-200 employees) Chose Sophos Intercept X We have used Avast, AVG, Panda, Sophos' original antivirus product, and Symantec before and it is better than each of them. The cloud console is the star of the show and it dramatically reduces the cost and effort needed to install the product. Other products were only … Incentivized Helpful?

Ramon Vazquez IT Director in Information Technology at Wendco of Puerto Rico Inc (Restaurants, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Sophos Intercept X It provides more features for the same price.

Also, the ability to integrate with your Sophos firewall if you have one adds another level of integration and protection. This … Incentivized Helpful? Sarah Urbani IT in Information Technology at Teamlogicit (Information Technology & Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Sophos Intercept X Sophos Intercept X is just easier to implement and manage. Incentivized Helpful? Steven Hiersche, Jr. Director Of Information Technology in Information Technology at The Davenport Companies (Retail, 201-500 employees) Chose Sophos Intercept X We didn’t evaluate any other products. I used Sophos at a previous company and when I started here, they were using the on-prem version. We immediately migrated to central and haven’t looked back. I am aware of the competitors, but once you are comfortable with a quality … Incentivized Helpful? Ben Coppard IT Manager in Corporate at Pancreatic Cancer UK (Non-Profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Sophos Intercept X Sophos offered better value for money whilst beating the above products on detection and prevention.

Jane Updegraff Senior Systems Administrator in Information Technology at DRT Holdings, Inc. (Aviation & Aerospace, 501-1000 employees) 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 Chose Sophos Intercept X Trend Micro offered similar protection, however at the time did not offer EDR as a solution. The big benefit to Trend Micro was the capability to push out the installation of the agent to assets within the Trend Micro console, eliminating the need for a GPO or deployment … Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? Neil Taylor Trade Floor Infrastructure Manager in Information Technology at TrailStone UK Ltd (Financial Services, 201-500 employees) Chose Sophos Intercept X Sophos is by far the simplest of the products to setup and going in a very short period of time at a very similar price point. Trend is overly complex and relied on an appliance for each ESX node meaning you lose one appliance and then you lose protection across multiple … Incentivized Helpful? Eric V. Zarghami Deputy CIO in Information Technology at Elizabeth City State University (Higher Education, 201-500 employees) Chose Sophos Intercept X Besides legacy malware protection, Sophos is doing a good job in protecting against ransomware, thanks to their Intercept X and its behavioral analytics that would stop ransomware that was never seen in wild. Incentivized Helpful? Alex Farling Managing Partner in Corporate at Delaware Micro-Computer (Information Technology and Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Sophos Intercept X Best in class... PERIOD... Bit Defender is a good AV product by itself, but it lacks in Next Gen Heuristic detection. It has allowed malware to get past it in our client environments, even with Admin permissions restricted. Sophos is hands down a superior product when paired … Incentivized Helpful? Ryhlen Schoeberl Server Administrator in Information Technology at Vast Broadband (Telecommunications, 201-500 employees) Chose Sophos Intercept X Sophos I feel is a better product upon installation we had a few systems that reported threats that ESET did not catch.
