IBM Security QRadar EDR vs. Sophos Intercept X

IBM Security QRadaar EDR provides all the security features at one place with a reasonable price. Though for smaller organizations, the price may be quite high. Plus since it can detect threats and malwares in real time, every business should try them out.

Sophos Intercept-X is well suited for any environment big or small. There is even a home version that is free that I highly recommend for anyone at home. If you are looking for endpoint protection that is centrally managed, catches everything, and has many features this is the product for you.

• Uses advanced analytics to detect threats and malwares and vulnerabilities in real time.
• Intuitive interface so everyone can use it.
• Easy to implement and set it up.

• Sophos is a little too good at DLP. But it is indeed very good at not allowing our data to leave our endpoints without strict adherence to policy.
• Sophos is very good at protecting endpoints against viruses and other malware.
• Sopho is really good at informing us of what is happening on our endpoints. OOTB reporting is way better than expected.

Incentivized

• use AI to review previous false negatives that contributed wrongly in the AI suggestion on the follow alerts
• easily run a script based on values from an hash, ips, path inside the boxes on the behavioral tree
• apply the remediation to a range of endpoint instead to only the endpoint of the current alert
• use ajax for example to update the alert page automatically while actions are happening
• for api have profiles that allow only get actions, or just post on some actions
• create users in bulk

Incentivized

• The migration from on-prem sophos to cloud sophos, could have been a little more seamless
• Would love to get more insight on what was blocked or flagged and what it was trying to do
• Better and more granular feature management from group policies

We have gotten a great product for the price. Easy to maintain and set up on new devices. Support is great and easy to work with and understand.

The usability has never been a problem. Sophos Intercept X is a program you can install and let protect your company without much intervention. Apart from a few policies, Sophos will keep you protected better than most any product on the market. Sophos Intercept X works quite well when you are looking to "tighten your grip" on user's access to websites, programs, and add-ons.

Most of the support reps are fantastic. There have been a few though that have had to be escalated via Account Manager when they haven't followed up but this is a rare instance, and often followed up by the Support Manager for APAC.

Best thing was the help pushing out via group policy and was able to get instructions for that on sophos site

Bitdefender GravityZone combines multiple security services into a single platform to reduce the cost of building a trusted environment for endpoints. bit the IBM provides a vast support and always there to guide when in need With the majority of our users working in hybrid mode we needed a strong security control that could provide top-class protection with the minimum amount of False Positives (and, of course, of True Positives).

I don't feel it's fair to compare Sophos Intercept X with the versions of Symantec and AVG that I have used in the past - as that was such a long time ago. I'm sure those other companies have released far more features than I used all those years ago

• NOCs and SOCs heavily use IBM Security QRadar EDR and IBM Security QRadar EDR reduced labor costs to identify endpoint security threats and the treat remediation
• IBM Security QRadar EDR offers a consistent approach to endpoint threat identification and resolution, reduces enterprise security operations support costs
• In general, IBM Security QRadar EDR enhances enterprise security posture

• Before we had Intercept X, we had several infections of ransomware. Since that time it has stopped at least 10 attempts, saving us thousands of man-hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• By decreasing the time needed for malware remediation, it has saved us the cost of .25 FTE in the IT department.
• Initial setup was cumbersome and cost us .1 FTE in additional costs the first year.
