Leave a Review Sophos Intercept X for Mobile
What does this thing do actually?
So I just got an “alert” from Sophos on my lock screen saying there’s a new version of iOS available. How does this provide any extra info or value over the notice I get from Apple?WhyAMIPayingForThis
Great overall
The authenticator portion of the app is quick and flawless, and that is what I primarily use it for. My only complaint is that the app’s description in the App Store says, “It informs you when a new iOS version is available.” However, when my iPhone needed to be updated to iOS version 12.4 today, the Sophos app did not tell me about this when I used it as part of my daily routine. There were no alerts or notifications about the needed update, even though I have all available notification options turned on for the app and have them set to “Persistent”.

Thank you for using Sophos Mobile Security! We have already fixed a minor bug related to this issue. Your Sophos Mobile Team.Password Manager doesn’t work
I’ve been using KeePass for years and imported my database to the app. I selected Sophos as my autofill app of choice in Settings and tried numerous websites via Safari, initiating from both Safari and the URL link in the password manager. Nothing has ever filled in.
Now, any time I want to log in to a site, I have to switch from Safari to Sophos. Open database. Find entry. Copy username. Switch back. Paste. Switch again. Copy password. Switch back. Paste. It’s just a matter of time before I paste a password in the wrong place.
UPDATE: In order to use the password manager, I had to create a new database in the app, export that, then import all my passwords to the new database (because only v3 databases are supported). Recently, I updated the app and it “lost connection” to my cloud instance, so I had to unlink and relink the file. Now it doesn’t recognize the database as v3.
If this app wasn’t forced on me by my company, I’d delete it.Show lessPartyByNight
SLOW
I travel alot and I'm constantly connecting to new networks and I used up all my data last month because I gave it 15-20 seconds to connect to alot of of my normal hotspots. Since I can't be without data I've had to stop and wait for up to 2 minutes to get connected to hotspots I use EVERY WEEK.FreedomMinister
Not sure what it actually does...
Seriously. It can't do anti virus. It only does Wi-Fi scanning on demand. It's seriously worse than the TSA for security. For the MITM checks, it fails on easy tests.
There are a ton of password generation utilities out there. This one isn’t that great.
I’m on the latest version, which was forced onto my device. I’d give it a 0 star rating if possible for what it does do. Which is basically nothing.Show lessBVollmet

We are sorry for the misunderstanding, but Sophos Mobile Security for iOS never intended to be an antivirus app. However, it contains multiple security features like Password Manager, Secure QR Code Scanner, Wi-Fi Scanner which runs automatically if you enable it in the settings and protects you against Man-In-The-Middle attacks. If your device is managed by a company then it can do a lot more, like Web Filtering or SMS Filtering. You can install the newest version and possibly reconsider your rating. Thank you!

Sopho. Has Never Failed Me

Good app but...
I think the app is great but I wish I give more information about the network scanëlliott
It works!
I have other things that said they worked, but they just took up a lot of room on the computer and messed with your computer. I trust this one and have used it for a lot of years on all my computers and now my mobile devices.Seattlert
Great simple app
I find this app simple and it tells me that my phone is safe.
What more do you really need for free!Eddie43...
