User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

At the price point this product sits at, it's well worth the additional layer of security. Surf shark isnt a security silver bullet, more of a additional security weapon to add to the arsenal and used properly, can augment and compliment your overall security posture. Using the search function when searching on sensitive subjects is helpful, using the site checker to ascertain for breaches is a valuble tool and the VPN is always on and is solid

Pros
  • 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.

  • VPN works very well
  • Checks sites that have been breached in real time
  • Allows you to search (like google) in privacy

Cons
  • 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

  • It can sometimes not play well with some websites

Usability
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.

Product is great, but occasional issues with some sites. The user interface is clean and simple to navigate and work through. Making it fairly idiot proof is welcome for a techno novice like myself! All of the key tools are listed on the lefthand side and are easy to click through and activate/use

Support Rating
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.

Alternatives Considered
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

Surfshark's VPN (Virtual Private Network) is simply better in every way than any of the competitors that we have used every time. This is the jewel in the crown of the product. With the tools such as the search function, site breach detection and other tools such as antivirus etc it makes it a compelling suite

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • It allows us to bolster our security posture
  • secures our wifi when travelling
  • allows us to make sure sites haven't suffered recent breaches and if they have to take remediation action
