Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, McAfee and others in Endpoint Encryption."The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the GUI is easy to use."
"Integration with other solutions is one of its strongest points. It's very easy to integrate and automate."
"I like that Sophos SafeGuard provides excellent technical support."
"The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks."
"It's the best solution on the market."
"The tool is very safe, reliable, and fast."
"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."
"The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats."
"The Central Management server."
"Once you lock a server, you won't be able to install or put something on that particular server, but on the PC or machines, the lockdown feature is not there, and it is a query our company raised when we had to provide details for Sophos' review."
"I would like to see a support-cloud, where Sophos creates a single package that contains all of its products."
"Sophos should conduct some seminars to teach people how to use it and also to inform the users about what they should do in case of problems."
"Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required."
"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."
"SafeGuard's user interface is ugly and doesn't provide reports, so we have to go into the database and get information from there by creating queries."
"The solution is not using other features like booting encryption, because it causes very heavy processing of the workstation. If they could find some way to handle the encryption and decryption to be lighter on the workstation it would be better."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"MacOS X is missing features."
