Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Encryption solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most important feature of McAfee Complete Data Protection to my customers is the ePO or the management console. It's easy to use and it's scalable. You can also generate the reports you want on the console. It's a mature management console. The features that McAfee Complete Data Protection has, for example, anti-spam features and other features can also be found on other solutions, but the most unique feature you can find in the solution is the ePO itself, the management console."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"The console of the EDR is totally in the cloud."
"The console allows us to manage not only endpoint protection, but DLP, and also integration with MVISION Cloud."
"The interface is user-friendly and it provides a large number of options."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"With McAfee Complete Data Protection, you can managed all your security solutions from one single server and one interface. This might be the most powerful advantage of McAfee's solution."
"It works seamlessly as long as it's well configured and the policies have been put properly."
"The monitoring features are easy to use."
"The advantage of Sophos SafeGuard stems from the fact that it is more secure than other products in the market."
"The solution can be easily connected and it is very secure."
"The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use."
"The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks."
"It's easy to use. You have to pay extra for additional, but the basic product is fantastic. It will be a good solution for you, depending on your requirements."
"It is one of the best products when it comes to stability."
"SafeGuard's best feature is its stability."
"We encountered several problems with the solution's stability."
"As a new technology, it does need to grow."
"A better GUI platform would make it easier to present information to management; I would not need to fix the data before I present it."
"In terms of where the solution could improve, it could integrate with network solutions for ADTs, email web gateways and discovery."
"The price is a little high and could be better."
"The refresh feature needs improvement. You need to refresh it manually yt going to the address bar, clicking on it and pressing enter, or pressing F5. There should be a button you can click on to refresh or have it so every five seconds it's refreshing."
"There are compatibility issues with the Chrome browser."
"Initial setup was complex."
"When you have the PPM chipset, you can have the power-on authentication, when you boot up your machine, you can set the six-digit passcode. As of right now, SafeGuard can't manage the six-digit passcode in terms of the expiration, and I need that added as a feature."
"The security does not have 100% authentication."
"It's a good product, but some are not happy with the boot BCN, and the point-to-point VPN requires the best protection."
"SafeGuard's user interface is ugly and doesn't provide reports, so we have to go into the database and get information from there by creating queries."
"Having a DLP integrated with the encryption engine would be very good."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation with the endpoint logging, but it's a special feature that is quite complicated to explain."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"It just needs a little bit more on the reporting side. Its reporting can be improved a little bit in terms of being able to know that things are in the right status. I should be able to pull a report to make sure that everything is all right. It could also have cloud integration. At the time I was using it, it wasn't a cloud product."
