What differentiates Sophos Intercept X from other similar products?

Sophos has been a good, solid product for us for the past 5+ years. It's seem to have a low impact on client endpoint performance and has been very solid for us in all respects.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Just runs and seems to get the job done without too much overhead on the client endpoints.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Nothing at this time.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Any time you do an evaluation AV solutions, you need to do trials on your test network and environment. We are an all PC environment, so not sure about a mixed environment. We use their server products as well, and have been very happy with them. I would definitely take a look at them when evaluating this space. They offer several add-ons and products that plug into their dashboard.

Pros

Reliable
Continually Improving Product
Efficient Service
Client Friendly Policies
