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."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."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The stability is very 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."
"There are products that are technically stronger. However, this product has everything in one solution, which makes it a strong endpoint option."
"Ransomware protection is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Solution for endpoint detection and response, with good stability and scalability. Users also benefit from email protection and data loss prevention."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the GUI."
"It is stable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to centrally manage the total security environment, including the firewall."
"Sophos EPP Suite's best feature is that the endpoints and firewalls remain synced."
"The product interacts well with other Sophos products we have."
"The product is stable and has a user-friendly dashboard. It has good security features."
"The performance and scalability are impressive. We can install it on various computers."
"The solution efficiently protects the servers for our customers."
"We were concerned about the threat posed by malware. The product's effectiveness in addressing this threat and capturing it within the network has been quite helpful."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The solution is not stable."
"This product does not handle USB drives well."
"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."
"There should be a report including a flowchart or diagram. It will be useful to evaluate the software’s effectiveness."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."
"They might want to offer an MSP model for licensing, to offer the solution as a software as a service."
"The majority of our systems are MacBooks and their solution release cycle is slow to endorsing or support the MacBook's latest OS or hardware platform. For example, when Sophos macOS Big Sur version 11 was released, it took them a while to support this version of OS. A similar situation occurred when the MacBook M1 hardware CPU was released. They have not fully supported the native M1 CPU to this day. They need to speed up the solutions release cycle."
"The pricing could be a bit lower to match the normal retail pricing."
"More integration options could be included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"It would be ideal if the price could be lowered a little bit."
"The encryption features are not as good as McAfee's."
"The solution is not easy to use in comparison to other endpoint security solutions."
"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."
"We have to use additional third-party solutions to fill the gaps in the capabilities of Sophos EPP Suite, such as using a mobility scanner. It would be helpful to add this feature."
"Sophos EPP Suite's support services need improvement."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team. It could be faster because I only got a response from the manager after a few days. If you open a case directly from the website, the response from the technical support agent may have been faster. I didn't open the request from the website, so that could be the reason why the response time took longer."
