We performed a comparison between Avast Business Hub and Intercept X Endpoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Impressive detection capabilities"
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The stability is very good."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"The solution can scale well."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"The solution protects us."
"The package we use also comes with spam filtering features, which are quite useful."
"Sophos Intercept X is a complete endpoint solution."
"It is stable."
"Sophos Intercept X is easy to install and has a lower price than similar solutions."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is a web filtering and URL sanity checks. Overall the solution is well balanced with all its features."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"The ADR functionalities feel like they aren't mature enough. It hasn't been a long time since Sophos has offered reproduction. Due to the fact that it's so young, it has fewer functionalities than other and more mature ADR solutions."
"The initial setup can be a bit challenging."
"To be a perfect product, the price would have to be a bit better."
"The deployment part needs to be improved."
"When I use a proxy, I can bypass Sophos, which is an area that needs improvement."
"The performance is very slow and should be faster."
"Better protection in the endpoint, server, and mobile is needed."
"It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee."
