Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use.""I like that Sophos SafeGuard provides excellent technical support.""The most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks.""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.""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.""The solution has a great VPN.""The solution can block a virus attack and prevent it from moving across the system.""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."

"Endpoint can give you the full details about how the attacker moved into and through your system. That description shows you each and every step up to the cabinet-level.""The disk encryption is great.""The solution is good overall. All of its features are good.""The encryption is very good.""Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption has good performance and is secure.""Overall, I think that it's very interesting.""We use the solution for data encryption.""Encryption is the basic feature, and that is what I like about it. I also like that it is kind of easy to install and easy to configure."

Cons
"Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required.""If it's possible, they should make all the features available because it's got a lot of features on offer, but you have to buy the license in order to add those features to the normal Endpoint. If they could make all those features available and/or offer a bundling option it would be better.""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 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.""You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle.""The solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed.""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."

More Sophos SafeGuard Cons →

"The user interface is a little challenging, especially for beginners. It's hard for new users to understand how to configure the correct access for each company function.""The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required.""There are recovery issues that arise.""It is not easy to integrate with third party solutions.""In the next release, it would be better if it was more user-friendly. It is a little complicated for the average technical person. If they can make it more user-friendly, it would be much easier and more helpful.""Should have more features of Deep Scanning""We would like to see a wider, better dashboard for the purposes of monitoring the users of the Trend Micro software.""In terms of what must be improved, I would say the support, the next feature, and the road map. I think all these must be improved, but the important thing to improve is the support."
