The anti-malware protection is designed to identify, block or remove threats, thus protecting computers and servers from viruses, adware, spyware and other infections. It can be deployed on-premise or hosted in the cloud. Web protection adds a layer of defense, which prevents attacks originating from infected websites, scanning for and blocking threats before they can affect devices. Sophos Intercept X also features device and application control which enables an administrator to set rules governing the use of removable media like USBs and mobile and wireless devices. Unauthorized applications and devices can be prevented from accessing the network that helps prevent the spread of malware and reducing the risk of data loss. Sophos Intercept X includes a centralized management console which enables an administrator to monitor computers on the network. Support is offered via live chat and through an online helpdesk and a knowledge base. > > Verdict: Rated **4.5/5** by 220 users.

There are lighter, better and cleaner products on the market along with much better support and that's why we moved away from Sophos ----- ### "Great product within a top tier suite of hardware and software" — 4.0/5 > **Glenn** | *9 January 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The deployment capabilities and consistency in using MDM deployment has been very important to minimize the opportunity for devices to be put into production without properly being secured. not all MSI packages are deployed the same and we have had products in the past that have installed well on some machines and not on others so consistency is key for the deployment. > > **Cons**: The agent has not yet had all services re-branded after the Hitman acquisition which led us down an unnecessary rabbit hole. My only other complaint would be that the agent runs heavy on workstations and in many cases, has pushed us to upgrade to m.2 drives for machines that otherwise didnt need them. > > Considering that this is one piece to an overall package, we have been very happy and the end to end visibility is unmatched when researching threats in our environment. What few downsides are present are miniscule when packaged together with the rest of the offerings. ----- ### "The Perfect Endpoint Security Solution For Business" — 3.0/5 > **Samuel** | *28 June 2023* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the extended detection and response featuresIt makes encryption easyIt comes with leading endpoint security featuresMakes management of endpoints easy > > **Cons**: It had never really presented any serious problems ----- ### "Sophos Intercept X just works" — 5.0/5 > **Forrest** | *21 December 2023* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the things I like most about the Sophos product is that it is easy to deploy and easy to use. I also like that the endpoint agent doesn't use a ton of computer resources like some of the competitors products that I have used in the past. I also enjoy the comfort in knowing that they continually are monitoring for the latest threats and release those updates into their product streams in a timely fashion, I also think that the way the product works in response to threats is superior to other products and have not experienced any catastrophic issues since we have been using their product. > > **Cons**: So far the only issues I have experienced is when installing software sometimes you will need to get the tamper protection code from the console in order to disable the desktop agent while you install software which is an extra step but also one that protects from users being able to disable it. > > So far we have been very pleased with the Intercept X endpoint protection product and intend to keep using it as it is easy to deploy and manage using the online portal. ----- ### "Intercept X will secure your endpoints\!" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *26 December 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy set up and deployment with an RMM Threat response shows the attack vectors stops ransomware in its tracks > > **Cons**: Price was much higher than others that provide most of the same features > > Intercept X is great, it saved our bacon when we were hit with the kaseya ransomware even though it is on the more expensive side of things ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/159223/sophos-endpoint-antivirus?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/159223/sophos-endpoint-antivirus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
