Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, McAfee and others in Endpoint Encryption."The solution can be easily connected and it is very secure."
"The tool is very safe, reliable, and fast."
"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."
"The solution has a great VPN."
"The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks."
"The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks."
"The Intercept X feature is the most valuable feature. You can't find this feature in other firewalls because Intercept X works as if it has an interaction between the endpoint and the firewall."
"The Central Management server."
"As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized."
"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."
"Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The dashboards lack sufficient information."
"You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle."
"What would make Sophos SafeGuard better than competitors is if its management console also includes firewall management. In the future, I want Sophos SafeGuard to be more scalable."
"An area for improvement in Sophos SafeGuard is the pricing. Pricing should be better when adding a new account or scaling the product."
"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."
"MacOS X is missing features."
