User Testimonials
	Sophos Intercept X	Trellix Endpoint Security ENS
Likelihood to Recommend	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	During the pandemic all our users worked remotely that was challenging from security perspective, so we had to deploy the endpoint protection system with cloud based monitoring server. By doing that we were able to keep safety for users workspaces even though some of them did not connect to VPN for a long time Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	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	Provides high fidelity alerting. Allows CSOC analysts to perform forensic triage and alert investigations through containment from a single pane of glass. Provides alert telemetry across on-disk and in-memory attacks. Supports many additional 'bolt-on' modules to provide additional alert context or capabilities. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	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	My biggest flak with McAfee Endpoint Security is that it is quite resource-intensive. It does tend to make the system a little slow. You get security at the expense of your machine's speed. Even though the drive encryption makes the system more secure, it takes a lot of time to first enter the very long password, and then for it to decrypt the whole machine. This sometimes clashes with Windows update and causes a lot of complications which leads to boot loops. Incentivized TP Tanish Pruthi Marketing Associate Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	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	No answers on this topic
Usability	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	So below is my breakdown, Pro's: Centralized Management, Comprehensive Protection and customization. Con's: Initial cost Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	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	The support is pretty good, and I haven't had any issues with getting the highest quality technical support when there are issues. Tech support representatives that I have dealt with know the product quite well and have solved many issues that I have had with the product in the past. The only issue I have with support is that it can be quite expensive. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	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	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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	We only selected McAfee because we are already using ESET NOD32 for the protection of our desktops and laptops. We didn't want to use the same software for our servers so we chose McAfee instead. I personally like ESET Smart Security better than McAfee when deploying it on a desktop or laptop because I think it protects the PC better. When it comes to web protection, policy updates, etc., McAfee is the better choice and that's why we deployed it on our servers. Incentivized Roberta Jones IT Administrative Specialist Read full review
Return on Investment	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. Incentivized Beau Sorensen COO Read full review	This tool helped us in delegating the asset safety responsibility to the client level by 80%, leaving 20% for the management console. With a decent pricing, the benefits are slightly above expectations. The ROI is good. But, considering most of the malware comes from internet, with a good email security appliance and next gen firewall in place, the online security alerts are now redundant. It could be something that can be termed as overkill on the budget. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
