Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Sophos Intercept X
- Sophos publishes no price for endpoint protection: the product page names editions but gives no per user rate, no minimum seat count and no contract length, and routes buyers to a sales enquiry
- Extended detection and response requires the Advanced with XDR edition rather than the base endpoint product
- 24x7 monitored detection and response is sold as the separate Sophos MDR service on top of the endpoint licence
- The Intercept X name has been retired in favour of Sophos Endpoint, so older documentation refers to a brand the vendor no longer uses
Trend Micro Vision One
- Listed on UK G-Cloud at £29.17 per user for Trend Micro One (the Vision One platform), via reseller Bytes Software Services Limited
