Sophos Pricing FAQ
How much does Sophos Intercept X cost?
Sophos Intercept X Advanced (with EDR) costs approximately $4.50 per device per month ($54 per device per year) for 100 to 499 endpoints at list price. Volume pricing reduces this to approximately $3 to $4 per endpoint per month for 500 to 999 endpoints. Intercept X Advanced with XDR (cross-domain detection) costs approximately $6 to $8 per device per month. Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR), which adds a 24-hour analyst service, starts at approximately $11 per endpoint per month.
What makes Sophos Intercept X a good choice for SMBs?
Sophos Intercept X is designed with smaller security teams in mind. The Sophos Central management console is significantly simpler to operate than CrowdStrike Falcon Console or SentinelOne Singularity. The deep learning anti-malware engine provides strong detection without requiring extensive tuning. Sophos also offers a managed MTR (Managed Threat Response) add-on that provides analyst monitoring for teams that cannot staff 24-hour coverage. For organisations with 25 to 500 endpoints and a single IT generalist rather than a dedicated security team, Sophos typically provides better operational fit than premium EDR platforms.
Does Sophos Intercept X include EDR in all tiers?
No. Sophos Intercept X (the base tier) provides next-gen antivirus and exploit prevention but does not include EDR telemetry or investigation capabilities. EDR is included starting from Sophos Intercept X Advanced. The Advanced tier adds the EDR investigation tools including root cause analysis, threat investigation, and response actions. The Advanced with XDR tier extends this to cross-domain sources including firewall, email, cloud, and network data.
How does Sophos pricing compare to CrowdStrike?
Sophos Intercept X Advanced with EDR is approximately 40 to 55% cheaper than CrowdStrike Falcon Pro at list price ($4.50 vs $8.33 per endpoint per month). After volume discounts, the gap narrows to 25 to 40%. However, CrowdStrike has superior threat intelligence coverage, lower false positive rates in independent testing, and a lighter agent. Sophos wins on total cost of ownership for organisations with limited security team capacity, where the simpler management console and Sophos MTR add-on reduce analyst hours significantly.
