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."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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"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 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 EDR product is simple to install. It is low maintenance. All the alerts go to Huntress first, and their analyst team reviews them and sends actionable things our way."
"Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"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."
"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."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"What I have found the most valuable about Sophos Intercept X is the ease of use with management administration and the solution's ability to stop exploits and ransomware."
"Anti-virus captures malicious threats and an aggressive next generation firewall."
"It is an intelligent tool."
"It is a practically maintenance free intelligent system that independently protects environments from malicious attacks."
"It's a good antivirus software and has a lot of features. It now integrates with their on-premises firewall, which is perfect."
"The threat analysis center is nice."
"Sophos Intercept X is easy to install and has a lower price than similar solutions."
"It is not just a simple virus scanning product. It handles more advanced needs."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution is not stable."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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 amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports."
"The Huntress is not a standalone solution. It really needs to be used with something else such as Microsoft Defender or another antivirus solution. It would be nice to see the product fleshed out by the Huntress team and include the antivirus solution part as well. I want it to be a full-fledged XDR product. It would push the tool to a higher price range but it would be nice to see the fleshed out features. I want them to integrate more features from the XDR realm."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
"It's a bit heavy on the computers. So once you install it, the computer slows down. It is a resource-intensive solution."
"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."
"The pricing could be a bit lower to match the normal retail pricing."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The technical support is the lone sore-point when dealing with this product."
"The initial setup was not very user-friendly."
"The after sales service and support could be improved."
"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."
