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."It's very straightforward to recover data. It's safe for us; in case of lost information, it provides multiple options to recover the data."
"The most important aspect of this solution is that if your laptop gets stolen, the information is encrypted."
"I like the fact that you can get a BitLocker encryption key out of OneDrive."
"It comes bundled with other Microsoft solutions."
"Whole Disk Encryption is great. BitLocker runs seamlessly during boot up."
"Feature-wise we have the ability to encrypt fast."
"Integration with System Center Configuration Manager (C: and D: logical drives are encrypted before installing Windows via SCCM)."
"The manageability of it is a valuable feature."
"The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution."
"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 setup process is straightforward."
"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 the best solution on the market."
"The user experience and the quality of the features are good."
"I like that Sophos SafeGuard provides excellent technical support."
"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 pricing should be improved."
"The deployment process regarding prerequisites and automation could be easy to understand."
"Technical support has not been very good."
"There are options which could be implemented to make it a little more like PGP Whole Disk Encryption."
"I often have to make multiple attempts to log in."
"The solution should offer encryption for other items such as shared folders, removable media, etc."
"The migration itself is a nightmare."
"It needs a management console."
"The solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed."
"An area for improvement in Sophos SafeGuard is the pricing. Pricing should be better when adding a new account or scaling the product."
"The integration could be a little better."
"Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It would be ideal if the solution had different features within one agent."
"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."
"The Office 360 integration could be improved."
"The product's next release could have integration features with different internal and external systems."
