We performed a comparison between Huntress 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 main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."
"It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service."
"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"The most valuable feature is the CryptoGuard in Sophos. In a case of a ransomware attack, this feature comes into action to protect us."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is cloud management."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"The EDR (Enhanced Data Detection and Response) and the DLP (Data Loss Prevention) components are valuable assets."
"Sophos Intercept X has a host of valuable features, including its anti-malware feature, which we considered key."
"The client isolation feature is a very effective feature."
"Offers artificial intelligence, security metrics and a lot of information gathered to make decisions."
"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."
"Detections could be improved."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution is not stable."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"The application control system could benefit from improvements in identifying and managing both whitelisted and blacklisted applications."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports."
"I am anxiously watching to see how they evolve their MDR for Office 365. If anything, I would like more automated remediation capabilities in their MDR for Office 365."
"The initial setup can be difficult if you don't come in with at least some knowledge about the product."
"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."
"The graphical interface could improve. Additionally, adding less expensive mobile device support would be helpful. Other solutions have this feature."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"Installing Sophos Intercept X was not as straightforward, as we had to ask support and had to work with an integrator, though the process didn't take much time, e.g. it was completed within one hour."
"If Sophos Intercept allows users to restrict website access based on specific needs, such as streaming new videos for business purposes, we would prefer to use that."
"I would like the solution to have more functions and to be more user-friendly."
"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."
