We performed a comparison between Sophos Intercept X and Trend Micro Apex One based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Trend Micro Apex One comes out on top in this comparison. According to its reviewers, it is the more lightweight solution and easy to set up. In addition, many of its reviewers feel that it is reasonably priced.
"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"
"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 stability is very good."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The updates and a lot of the day-to-day fiddling that you would have to do with it, can all be done from the cloud so it's easy to manage, and very easy to administer."
"The Managed Detection and Response service provided by Intercept X Endpoint is highly valuable. With a team of 600-700 individuals monitoring systems, they swiftly respond to attacks, either informing us to isolate or directly removing threats. This full MDR service is especially recommended for sectors like finance, where data security is critical. The deep learning technology within Intercept X Endpoint enhances our security posture by analyzing behaviors and algorithms to differentiate between legitimate users and threats, effectively preventing attacks on our network infrastructure."
"Synchronization with the firewall is most valuable."
"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."
"It is stable and has a good price. I find it very good."
"The performance is good."
"The dashboard is user-friendly."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Stability-wise, it is a good product, and I rate it a ten out of ten."
"This solution protects us from virus attacks before they affect the organization."
"The scalability is perfect."
"I have opened three tickets with the technical support and they were responsive and asked me to send them my logs."
"Trend Micro Apex One most valuable features are centralized management, ease of use, and help user management. Additionally, it can detect vulnerabilities in the end-users system"
"The most valuable feature is that it's normal, and not for a specific server."
"I am impressed with the product's antivirus and malware application control."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The support needs improvement."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The graphical interface could improve. Additionally, adding less expensive mobile device support would be helpful. Other solutions have this feature."
"Sophos Intercept X could improve on its setup process. They could make it easier to have a baseline set up for the system, or at least provide more understanding of what the baseline is when you first install it. This could be a matter of lack of training on my part, but it's difficult to receive training on solutions that are not Cisco. Cisco is the only vendor with classes or courses."
"The cloud management console could be a little more user-friendly."
"The deployment part needs to be improved."
"They need to focus on their SLA or technical support. They also need to focus on their UI. They should also improve their content filtering tool and update it so that correct categories are there. Sometimes, when I want to block an online gaming website, it is not shown under the correct category. It is shown under another category. They need to review their content filtering tool on a bi-weekly or monthly basis and update the sites and categories. This will be really helpful for them."
"I have not done it, but integrating it with authenticating the users on the Windows system looks a bit complicated to me. It could be because I don't understand it."
"Better protection in the endpoint, server, and mobile is needed."
"We tried to set up Sophos Zero Trust within my Sophos central cloud. It only works with Microsoft and I use Google. I'd like to see Google added."
"More integration with different platforms would be great, as everyone seems to want the solution to integrate with each team."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The only thing that I would like to see changed or improved in the next release is when it reports C&C callbacks, to make it easier to trace, to see what's doing that, whether it's a program checking for updates or a malicious program."
"We're actually looking to upgrade to more sophisticated ADL products. We need a more sophisticated endpoint. We need to have the ability to automate those instant response processes."
"Occasionally, the system may be a bit slow."
"Could channel video more efficiently."
"Product performance needs improvement. Customers face the same performance issues on the endpoint of the product. We need improvement on that side."
"I think the one place where we like where they lacking is in a unified style dashboard."
