Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, McAfee and others in Endpoint Encryption."It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks."
"With Sophos, I only need to generate the password and give that to a user to be able to allow them to login to the admin page of the Endpoint and do whatever they need to do. The user cannot go ahead and uninstall it. It's kept us much more secure because of this. Should any event happen on a particular system, I'm given the username and the system IP address. I get notifications and can deal with issues right away."
"Policy deployment is easy and quick to do."
"SafeGuard's best feature is its stability."
"The setup process is straightforward."
"Security-wise, it's one of the best."
"The product filters phishing emails."
"The Central Management server."
"The tutorials need to be simplified. The existing ones need to be easier to follow and we could use some tutorials for basic setups. They should aim to be more like Cisco, which offers very good tutorials and materials."
"The lack of need for the patch for an extra password is a shortcoming. It will be a great improvement if the patch requires an extra password so that they can find out how to synchronize your Windows password with the same password for Sophos SafeGuard."
"I would like to see a support-cloud, where Sophos creates a single package that contains all of its products."
"The integration could be a little better."
"There's no centralized management. This is a drawback."
"There are times that this solution takes up too much memory that needs to be resolved. If it is not fixed it will definitely create issues in the future."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"Having a DLP integrated with the encryption engine would be very good."
"MacOS X is missing features."
