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 a straightforward solution for encryption."
"The platform provides good performance."
"The best thing about it is the encryption type and the way it requires TPM when someone tries to access the drive."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The solution is included in Windows 11."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity and integration with the Microsoft Clouds platform."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the protection and ease of use."
"The solution has a feature that automatically asks the users to upgrade their password once we set up the process."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks."
"The intrusion detection system."
"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 most valuable feature is the synchronized security. It's a unique feature on the market at this time only offered by Sophos. As a reseller, we often win bids and get clients because of this unique trademark feature."
"It is one of the best products when it comes to stability."
"It's quite easy to integrate Safeguard with BitLocker"
"They could improve cloud integration regarding attribute and encryption key management."
"If the encryption was faster then it would make the experience more pleasant."
"In future releases, I would like to see a feature where I can have a view of each device that has BitLocker to see if these machines are encrypted or not. So, I just want a view or a dashboard that can tell us so that I can remediate and add BitLocker to those systems or devices."
"The solution could improve by having a centralized GUI for management."
"The primary aspect for improvement lies in expanding our developer base, which would accelerate the development process and bring these enhancements to fruition"
"The deployment process regarding prerequisites and automation could be easy to understand."
"The customizations could be more flexible."
"It needs a management console."
"The dashboards lack sufficient information."
"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."
"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 security does not have 100% authentication."
"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."
"There are times that this solution takes up too much memory that needs to be resolved. If it is not fixed it will definitely create issues in the future."
"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."
"The integration could be a little better."
