Intercept X Endpoint Scalability

WB
Service Delivery Lead at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

It is not very scalable. It's very static. There's no real evidence for ways to expand it, unless you want to buy more stuff or add-ons. 

We have just under 300 people using the solution. 

We are trying to migrate away. We do not plan to increase usage.

I would rate the scalability 10 out of 10, and you can easily add licenses whenever you want. The scalability is immediate and currently, we employ almost 130 users. Based on the usage, we also have plans to increase the usage in the future.

The solution is scalable. 50 users are using this solution.

Sophos also launched DNS protection. We can use DNS protection if a client has no more than ten users. With DNS protection, we can monitor and block sites that are not business-related, allowing us to monitor and control the traffic of every user in the branch. DNS protection offers the option to log and control the traffic of your branch effectively.

The solution's scalability is not so good. Antivirus has no scalability. Since it's a cloud solution, you have to purchase a license. The scalability is on Sophos' side.

In terms of scalability, you have to pay for every user that uses the product. If you pay more, you can get more users to use the product.

Around 500 people in my company use the product.

The product is extensively used in my company, and we plan to increase the number of uses of the solution. As the number of users of the solution in our company increases, we have to implement the product in every employee machine in our organization. My company uses the product on Windows and Linux.

It's a scalable product. You can deploy 100, or you can deploy one, or even 1,000. It is very scalable. 

We have 30 customers and each customer has a different number of users. Some clients have hundreds of Intercept X, some have 50, and yet others have 10. As a result, it is dependent on the company. It depends on the number of computers they have. We have a wide range. One of the clients has 800 users, which is a ministry.

Given that it is a cloud implementation, Intercept X is very scalable.

We have about 6,000 or 7,000 users. The majority of them are customer service agents. We are using both Sophos Basic and Intercept X, and our plan is to migrate the rest of the nodes to Sophos Intercept X. However, our migration plan might change because we are getting a requirement for Cynet from our clients who use Cynet. They are about 4,000 in number.

MA
Technical & Pre-Sales Manager at GateLock

Scalability can happen in one click. If you have another device to add to the environment, you just make the deployment from the server on-premises. The customer does not have to depend only on the cloud server to scale. They also have an on-premise server that makes the rules between the cloud and the LAN environment to avoid any internet disconnects, or bandwidth and performance issues. They can depend on the cache server to communicate on behalf of the client to the on-cloud dashboards.

I haven't personally tried to scale anything. It's probably pretty scalable because you don't have an appliance. Appliances have limitations as they have a set size or capacity. It is a cloud-based console, therefore it can probably scale pretty well.

We have 80 people in our organization and everybody uses the product.

We have not run across any issues with the scalability of it. I would tell you that it is very applicable to this company right now and certainly is up to the task of matching our needs.

I do not know of any limitations having to do with the scalability of this product. We are a small company so the number of clients that we have is not that large.

I do not see that we are even close to any limitations in scaling this product with those numbers.

We use this solution on a daily basis.

The product is scalable. After we purchased only one user license, we decided to do an installed service also. It's a one or two-minute process in order to provide a temporary license for 1 month and, after that, we hope to stay covered. Therefore, we do have plans to increase usage.

President at a tech vendor with 1-10 employees

Our clients are all small businesses generally. The solution seems to be quite easy to scale in the market that we serve, which would be up to a hundred or so users. We haven't had any problems, however, I haven't deployed it for 10,000 users -which would be a totally different thing. Therefore, while it scales well for small businesses, I can't speak to how it would scale at an enterprise-level.

We do work with a university, and we do some work with a couple of different school districts in the San Diego area. We do some consulting for all three of those. If they asked us to recommend a product, we do recommend a product like this and we help people out with that sort of thing.

We have implemented it for so many customers. One of them has more than 1,500 users. In an on-prem solution, scalability could be challenging.
