We performed a comparison between Intercept X Endpoint and Sophos EPP Suite 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."The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"The most effective features of Intercept X Endpoint for threat prevention are ransomware protection, miscellaneous behavior detection, and network threat protection."
"I appreciate the ability to use the latest endpoint protection features in case of an infection or cyber threat. This is especially true when using the product with a Sophos firewall solution, like the XG series. They collaborate effectively in the event of a cyber threat."
"It is quite scalable. You can always add more users. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the CryptoGuard in Sophos. In a case of a ransomware attack, this feature comes into action to protect us."
"Sophos Intercept X has a host of valuable features, including its anti-malware feature, which we considered key."
"It is not just a simple virus scanning product. It handles more advanced needs."
"The dashboard is user-friendly."
"Synchronization with the firewall is most valuable."
"If you want something simple to work with, Sophos makes it very simple for you to use."
"Intercept X is the most valuable feature in the solution. It's more or less pretty standard. The endpoint feature allows you to basically see what is happening, and stop a wide range of threats. It's been the most unique identifier for Sophos."
"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."
"It's very light on the endpoints."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The web control and the application control are two good features."
"It is one of the good solutions that provides a single well-rounded protection for endpoints and internet security."
"It's a pretty good product. It's on level with other products in the market."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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."
"They should keep doing what they're doing. Both of them have entered the EDR/MDR space, and they're keeping up with their competitors. I have a hard time understanding why their capabilities aren't garnering more attention."
"The pricing could be a bit lower to match the normal retail pricing."
"It has a performance hit on a local laptop. There's an agent installed and we are bothered a lot by it because it seems to be using a lot of computer resources."
"They don't have the full stack of offerings as compared to the other competitive products that we see."
"This solution is not in the high ratings on many of the top review sites. This solution has to be near the top for me to continue using it."
"Mobile device management is a challenging area, and it can be improved. Some areas in the DLP solution can also be improved. It has the DLP capability, but it is not an all-out DLP program. I would like to see them improve the DLP solution in terms of reporting and possibly network monitoring. Currently, they only do the reporting parts of it."
"It's a bit heavy on the computers. So once you install it, the computer slows down. It is a resource-intensive solution."
"Intercept X Endpoint is a very heavy solution that consumes a lot of RAM and should be made lighter."
"The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users."
"The solution is not easy to use in comparison to other endpoint security solutions."
"In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall."
"Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."
"There could be enhancements made to the DLP."
"From our enrollment perspective, I would say maybe it could be a little lighter in terms of agent usage so that there is less computer utilization."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"The product is not secured and doesn't offer a fast connection."
