Intercept X Endpoint

Avantages

A mon niveau j'ai apprécié la simplicité d'usage. Les fonctionnalités poussées pour affiner les réglages.

Inconvénients

L'interfaçage avec un siem implique de créer ses propres API. Pas d'api permettant de se connecter facilement au Siem du marché.

Avantages

Tiny additional tool you can install alongside your current AV programs to help detect and block Ransomware

Inconvénients

Application can only detect and block ransomware, and nothing more

Avantages

Best Antivirus Software i ever used, the administration console it is very intuitive and easy to use, you have a lot of alerts and as a plus you have a web filter.

Inconvénients

i really can find a Con, what i can say that i really dont like but i understand why is working that way , when you have restricted policies for external devices (usb , printers ) and you need to use one, the process to approve a usb device it is tricky and complicated.

Avantages

Configuring options and scan profiles from the cloud hosted web portal is convenient and easy to keep every machine compliant. Cloud hosted means we don't have to run any infrastructure, just install it on all our endpoints.

Inconvénients

Some complaints that it slows computers way down, opened a support ticket, they were useless, asks the same questions over and over, didn't answer back to my replies for days, convinced me not to renew our licenses.

Avantages

It has a proven track record of malware resistance and its forensics or threat analysis is great. It can help narrow down exactly what happened and what files were effectively part of the launch and spread.

Inconvénients

The biggest issue is more the cost for schools and so I am currently only able to deploy it on our Windows serves.

Avantages

The GUI for administration is relatively simple to use

Inconvénients

Network rollout was a bit more intricate than it needed to be

Avantages

We have been using Sophos Endpoint Protection for about 2 years now and we love it. The best part is the ability to control our Virus protection settings from a central webpage. We use it for more than virus protection we also use it to limit our corporate users internet access. The feature we love it the ability to select categories (Violence, Drinking, Entertainment) This added an additional layer of security.

The dashboard is great it gives us a quick look at the status of our devices. We know that all of our end users and servers are protected. We have enabled email noticications so we will get an alert that there is an Issue that IT needs to look into .

Tha best part is the license is per user not machine. So some of our IT guys have 2-3 computers that all are protected with out the cost of additinoal licenses.

Inconvénients

Very few Cons sometimes you have to dig a little to get to a setting in the cloud console. Also, the support is generally a long wait and the first tier isn't very knowledgeable. Luckily we don't call
support a lot.

I really wish i could buy the product direct and not have to go through a third-party reseller.

Avantages

Easy to deploy and most of the time does not require a reboot. So far no issues with virus/malware sneaking in.

Inconvénients

Policies are not the easiest to find and make changes to if you don't do it often.

Avantages

Efficiently detect ransomware, without interrupting the work of employees. It is powered by Artificial Intelligence that guarantees maximum protection against fake URLs or web pages. It works in the background without consuming the performance of the equipment. It facilitates an optimal centralized management based on the cloud, administered from anywhere and at any time.

Inconvénients

Although it offers powerful and effective endpoint protection. The only thing that must be evaluated so far to implement this solution is its cost, which is considerably high.

Avantages

Easy monitoring the client from central server.
We are able to set customized download limit to the end users.
We could censor the unwanted websites at our campus.
Client can check their daily usage limit and use accordingly.
Sophos portal is very easy to manage and it can be accessed in remote login also.

Inconvénients

There are some drawbacks in end user point of view.
In an organisation the employee will roam around the campus and there are some occasions will happen to login in multiple computers and it is not supported since the admins block multiple logins.
Data limit is really embarrassing.
Authentication is automatically signed off if the systems is kept idle for sometime.
I think Sophos is bit late in updating the databases.

Avantages

Powerful and feature rich protection product that does not noticeably impact system performance.
Support is excellent, once engaged the engineer is staying with you until the issue is resolved. They don't even mind if you add a couple of additional problems into the mix.
Includes their Intercept X protection with the advanced version. This is powerful stuff, anti-exploit and ransomware with root cause analysis. The portal to manage it all is easy to use as well. Very happy with this product and recommending it to everyone.

Inconvénients

Not the cheapest on the market.
The cloud version does not have a push-deployment tool like the old fashioned on-premise version does. But once deployed it is a joy.

Avantages

Protects computers, never had an issue so must be doing it's job

Inconvénients

Haven't noticed any problems as a user of the system

Avantages

The product is very feature rich and allows us to, in quite a bit of granularity stop, block and allow devices to do things - the product is very intuitive and when testing against other products found threats quicker

Inconvénients

As with everything there is functionality that is "gated" behind extra licensing requirements

Avantages

Sophos allows us to protect all the devices on our domain and keep them free from virus'. Sophos comes with a simple installer that can be used on either Windows or Mac OSX, this allows for quick, easy installations so we can quickly configure our devices to ensure less downtime. Sophos allows us to create multiple different profiles depending on the user or department. Once the profiles are configured, the permissions will be applied against the device instantly. We can also approve individual websites or applications, this allows us to keep a close eye on devices across the group whilst ensuring security is tight.

Inconvénients

We have noticed with some hardware, although the are the same model, Sophos seems to block one but not the other. Obviously the hardware differs slightly but Sophos should recognise the model. Due to the number of users we have, this is a constant maintenance task.

Avantages

InterceptX implements a complete anti-exploit solutions that protects all the process from all the known exploitation techniques. Anti-Ransomware engine is able to restore files that have been encrypted.

Inconvénients

The alerts in the console are only related to detected malware and not to XDR incidents.
THe real time engine is too heavy and cpu consuming.

Avantages

Every single last thing about this software is amazing.

Inconvénients

There is not one single thing that is wrong with this software, it is absolutely amazing product

Avantages

SOPHOS is a replacement to several solutions we have used in the past. I am using SOPHOS UTM for my firewall and SOPHOS antivirus as well as using wireless access points/Mail management/et al.. The management of this product is extremely easy to use considering it is a web interface and they have centralized all their products.

Inconvénients

Seriously...Probably the cost but overall not so bad considering the licensing and length of years we usually purchase.

Avantages

Sophos Endpoint Protection is a complete security solution. It checks all the attachments sent via email and provides a strong guard against all sorts of malware attacks. It is also being used to limit user internet access within our company. Which prevents the abuse of bandwidth. It also supports Windows and Mac both operating systems. Hence, nothing goes unprotected in our company.

Inconvénients

A user can uninstall it to restore the full internet access without being asked to provide a password or taking permission.

Avantages

Easy to setup and push out to Endpoints. Love the ease of setting up Web control and application control. Clone the base policy make changes to it and apply it to one computer or all computers and servers. Like the fact you can set application controls as well to allow users to add .exe files or disallow them.

Inconvénients

Reporting of computers is a little flaky. When a computer updates, it disables certain services which throws an alert. When the service restarts, you have to manually clear the alert.

Avantages

This product is is billed on a per user bases, and not per device, this makes environments more cost effective when users use multiple devices.

Rules and exceptions work as expected

Inconvénients

No cons so far, but i do wish they supported linux desktops.

Avantages

The software is pretty easy to manage and update. Overall, the software is able to protect against most threats.

Inconvénients

Not really good with zero day unless you buy the exploit license. Change of management servers can also be a pain and requires reinstallation of the AV client.

Avantages

Conistantly comes top in all anti-virus tests - detects more than competitor products
Sophos Intercept X anti-ransomware is a God-send and will role back any zero-day encryption attacks
Sophos Sandstorm allows checking of attachments in a cloud-based virtual environment in Sophos labs to test each unseen attachment.
Sophos Central makes admin so much easier
Being able to block non-encrypted USB sticks and other peripherals is a nice feature.

Inconvénients

Sophos Enterprise admin is a little dated. Sophos Central admin is much easier and nicer
Sophos Central doesn't tie up with Sophos SG Next Gen Firewall, but it does play nicely with the newer Sophos XG.

Avantages

Very powerful software and very light weight when it comes to install. Its very easy to setup and implement on multiple machines for remote monitoring.

Inconvénients

There isn't a way to customize the search feature if i only want scan part of my drive.

Avantages

This caused little to no interference or slowdowns to the system. No macbook protected by it ever developed an infection.

Inconvénients

It was not usually the scanner that hogged resourced, but its updater. The SophosUpdater consumed the majority of energy, disc read/writes, and bandwidth for every machine. The only incident I had with it slowing a computer down was when we had to backup and move off of a device. Then it insisted on pre-scanning everything that was "tar-balled" dragging a 45 minute operation out to 4 hours and refused to halt or quit that scan.

Avantages

It's saved me several times from malware.

Inconvénients

Sometimes it can successfully quarantine malware, but can't delete it, so you have to find a manual solution.
