"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the GUI is easy to use.""SafeGuard's best feature is its stability.""The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use.""The advantage of Sophos SafeGuard stems from the fact that it is more secure than other products in the market.""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 most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks.""The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution.""The tool is very safe, reliable, and fast."

Cons
"The one thing that I know that they're working on, that's not quite there in the product, is the artificial intelligence aspect."

More McAfee MVISION Mobile Cons →

"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.""The Office 360 integration could be improved.""The solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed.""It would be ideal if the solution had different features within one agent.""Technical support could be a bit better.""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.""Having a DLP integrated with the encryption engine would be very good."

    Top Answer:The pricing is reasonable. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive.
    Top Answer:SD-WAN and AI are the kinds of things we're interested in, but for now, it's just planning for the future. AI is advancing rapidly, and I wasn't even aware there was any AI involved in Sophos. Almost… more »
