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."The Remote Administrator is the most valuable feature that ESET offers for us. Centralized management of our ESET environment is what I like about the Remote Administrator."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Encryption is its rate of capturing viruses and malware."
"It is very secure and we have finally decided to use this after a thorough check. The interface is easy to navigate."
"The product is easy to implement and configure."
"The initial setup is easy."
"ESET Endpoint Encryption works as an antivirus system."
"The usability is the most valuable feature."
"This solution can be centrally managed."
"It's quite easy to integrate Safeguard with BitLocker"
"For general data protection and GDPR requirements, which are relevant because we work with European companies, SafeGuard helps us stay compliant."
"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."
"The solution can block a virus attack and prevent it from moving across the system."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better compatibility with mobile devices."
"There should be more frequent updates."
"The solution should have better synchronization with active directory users and passwords for use in the encryption."
"From an admin perspective, the solution's UI could be more user-friendly."
"ESET Endpoint Encryption needs to improve pricing and security."
"The initial setup could be made easier."
"Sometimes the server console is very slow, so the performance could be improved."
"Integration with central management needs improvement."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The dashboards lack sufficient information."
"The solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"An area for improvement in Sophos SafeGuard is the pricing. Pricing should be better when adding a new account or scaling the product."
