What differentiates Sophos Intercept X Endpoint from other similar products?

I like the way Sophos has unique attributes not evident in other antivirus tools topping the list in the industry. For instance, it detects malicious files and blocks them in real-time before they are downloaded in my device. And unlike other alternatives that take considerably long to fully scan my machine, Sophos takes lesser time to execute this task.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I had such an easy time setting up and installing the software and within a few clicks, I had it up and running. Their support team is so swift and efficient in responding to queries which I found particularly useful during installation and setup. And with a 30-day free trial, I was able to test it before committing my money into purchasing the premium plan. At the end of it, I settled for Sophos!

What do you dislike most about this product?

Although I appreciate the use of distinctive panels in its layout, the organization of these panels is off. Locating certain functionalities, except the scanning feature, isn’t as easy as I would expect.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Sophos will offer you more benefits than the usual threat detection and doesn’t cause interference with other PC functions as it works in the background.
