Considered Both Products	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.

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.

Thayer Ramahi Director, IMIT Chose Sophos Intercept X We found Sophos is a full suit in one, easy to deploy, manage and very effective. Incentivized Helpful? Neil Taylor Trade Floor Infrastructure Manager 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.

Incentivized Helpful? Alex Farling Managing Partner 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.

Ryhlen Schoeberl Server Administrator 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.

We … Incentivized Helpful?	Trend Vision One Endpoint Security JJ Justin Johnson Information Technology Director Chose Trend Vision One Endpoint Security Honestly they are fairly similar in the nature. The biggest benefit to us as an organization was the cost and prior knowledge of the product. Both products offer a great solution so it just comes down to personal preference and cost. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Trend Vision One Endpoint Security Another organization was using this software and Trend micro is widely used now a days and remote support is a positive thing.

User Testimonials
	Sophos Intercept X	Trend Vision One Endpoint Security
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	I think Trend is well suited for businesses that need an all-in-one malware/antivirus/EDR solution. It works well and runs smoothly in the background not hindering the users. Our only issue with it is the use of it and secure browsers for state testing. The EDR wants to automatically blocked the use of secure browsers setup by the state. Incentivized JJ Justin Johnson Information Technology Director 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	End point implementation: the roll-out of Trend Micro was extremely easy! Server/Device policies: creating both endpoint and server device policies is something we were looking for in a system, since we have a variety of both endpoints with users, as well as several unattended servers needing specific limitations. License Management: removing Trend Micro from machines before destruction or retirement is done in a pinch. There's no struggling to free up an unused license Incentivized David Schwartz IT Director 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	Only thing I would have to say that's negative is the reporting aspect. Basic reporting is good but still lacks some details. This is a problem with many of the software vendors I have encountered in the past as well. Reporting is still much better than most. Incentivized SJ Shannon Johnson System Engineer 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	It is very easy to stick with a vendor year after year, and it is also easy to see the faults in a product and want to change. This is the first time I have renewed with an antiviurs provider as others have been less than ideal and caused issues where there were none before, so while it isn't perfect, it is the best of the bunch currently and I am hopeful that it will continue to improve in future versions. Incentivized Aaron Myers Senior Business Systems Analyst Read full review
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	The dashboard is user-friendly and allows for an IT admin to quickly deploy the software. The users do not even notice the program running in the background. From the dashboard the IT department can monitor all the workstations for issues and maintain good health of the network. Incentivized JJ Justin Johnson Information Technology Director 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	It has been difficult at sometimes, the support people at one point told me that they couldn't tell me information about OfficeScan because it was knowledge that was passed down from engineer to engineer. The issue was that if you used the msi for the install any further installs would require the msi to have the same exact name or else the install fails and corrupts the install. This information is not listed anywhere on trends website. Support kept trying to get me to use the exe for installs instead, but we use SCCM and msi's work better. We had to write a script to come up with a solution so that we could uninstall the software and install the new software. Trend did provide the technical expertise to help with the script and had us work with one of the developers in order to resolve that issue. So they did fix their screw up but it took a while and several complaints. 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	When comparing trend micro apex one to Symantec Endpoint Protection there is a definite and stark difference. Symantec cannot find or stop viruses but it has an easy to use agent upgrade management system. On the other hand Trend micro seems to find and stop numerous viruses including things that are not viruses. And the upgrading used to be an issue but it is supposed to be better now, in apex one Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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	Since the product is a full suite of protection rolled into a single product, we've seen ROI through cost reduction and simplified management. And while we haven't measured performance, one would logically assume that systems will perform better with a single product installed vs several. While we haven't measured performance, one would logically assume that systems will perform better with a single product installed vs several.
