Pros
"The product is one of the market leaders, according to Gartner, on mobile protection."

"The intrusion detection system.""The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use.""What I love most about Sophos SafeGuard is its user-friendly interface. My company has another software with a complex user interface versus Sophos SafeGuard, which is extremely easy to use.""It's quite easy to integrate Safeguard with BitLocker""The product filters phishing emails.""I like its ease of use the most. The management console is really nice. I like having one pane of glass that does everything. It does the Sophos anti-virus and encryption. Everything that you need is in one place. It is easy to use, and it is also pretty fast. It provides some pretty good details, and it lets you know who has access to a file. You can also add additional people to the encrypted documents, which is pretty good. Its stability and performance are also very good.""It's a straightforward solution.""The monitoring features are easy to use."

Cons
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."

"You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle.""The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing.""The security does not have 100% authentication.""The integration could be a little better.""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.""The product's next release could have integration features with different internal and external systems.""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 solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed."
