If they could make all those features available and/or offer a bundling option it would be better.""An area for improvement in Sophos SafeGuard is the pricing. Pricing should be better when adding a new account or scaling the product.""Sophos SafeGuard is a German product. Sophos isn't really active in Europe. The Middle East, Africa, South Africa works with Sophos but their primary users aren't in Europe. They should market and push this solution to the European market."
