It's very advanced, and analytics reporting is very good. They also have cloud reporting. You get all the services that are available for your device in the cloud. You just have to subscribe. It's very easy. There's a lot of demand for this solution because it's an all-in-one solution. The throughput is very high."

"The most valuable feature is the CryptoGuard in Sophos. In a case of a ransomware attack, this feature comes into action to protect us."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works."
"The forensics within the solution are quite good. The ransomware mitigation is also impressive."
"Sophos Intercept X has a host of valuable features, including its anti-malware feature, which we considered key."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is a web filtering and URL sanity checks. Overall the solution is well balanced with all its features."
"Intercept X's smart prevention it's very good as so are its machine learning capabilities for troubleshooting channels and files."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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've had some problems with having to remove the current version and either reinstalling an old version or updating to the new one."
"It takes too long to install."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"The price could also use improvement."
"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users to do not have as much of a technical background."
"There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported."
"It would be nice to see more in hand features in terms of the DLP, so that the solution can be integrated with the DLP, as well as more reporting features on the end point."
"The only thing that is lacking in this product is the support. Their support can be improved."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
"There are not any solutions that are a 10 out of 10. A 10 would be perfect protection with no impact on the performance of the device. This is not the case, there is some impact on the performance of the device."
"The tool should be made compatible with Linux and Microsoft operating systems."
"It should offer better security updates."
"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"We've had difficulty with uninstalling the solution. When we try to uninstall an old version of the basic Sophos Antivirus, it doesn't seem to uninstall completely."

"I'm not clear on what features need improvement. Everything is mostly fine."
