We performed a comparison between Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business and Sophos Intercept X based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Sophos Intercept X has a slight edge over Kaspersky Endpoint Security in this comparison, since it is a more lightweight solution.
"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 console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"It is easy to interact with, and its cost is also good."
"The most valuable feature of Intercept X its ability to stay ahead of the infection. By the time the ransomware spreads to the next machine in line, the data has already been encrypted on that workstation. It didn't matter what the ransomware did because could go in and get it back."
"Scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is cloud management."
"The threat analysis center is nice."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the EDR."
"Solution for endpoint detection and response, with good stability and scalability. Users also benefit from email protection and data loss prevention."
"This product integrates well with Sophos firewalls and should be seriously considered by Sophos Firewall clients."
"This product is easy to use."
"The centralized management is a nice features. It gives us the leeway to deal with other things as protection is being carried on in the background. We do not have to keep on watching as long as we have the right updates. It also saves us time."
"Center Management"
"I have found the security, device, web and application controls to be the most valuable features."
"It helps to improve our security for our mobile and VMware infrastructure. The remote tasks are great."
"The product's most valuable features are automation and central administration."
"It allows for a solid form of risk management as well as a measure of remote device management."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business detects malware and is easy to configure."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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 solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The technical support is the lone sore-point when dealing with this product."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
"Technical support is too slow to schedule meetings."
"When there is an event generated by either the firewall or Intercept X, and the originating IP address is the same, these should be merged into a single event rather than two."
"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."
"We would like more application control in order to be able to schedule times and access."
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of."
"The graphical interface could improve. Additionally, adding less expensive mobile device support would be helpful. Other solutions have this feature."
"The product needs to incorporate training programs or webinars for users. The solution needs to improve its support as well. It also needs to detect ransomware."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"They should continue to put more security measures in place in order to make it more robust."
"The encryption feature could improve."
"It would be preferable if the product were more proactive and more modern in its approach to security and protection."
"We are having some troubles because some American companies we work with don't want to work with Kaspersky."
"It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
"I think it would be good for them to consider and cloud integration capabilities."
