We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integration features are the most valuable. The integration is specific to each solution. It works well with SQL and Oracle databases and so on."

"The product is easy to use.""The setup process is straightforward.""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.""The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution.""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 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.""Policy deployment is easy and quick to do.""I like the support most of all."

Cons
"On the exchange server, you do not have the best options for adjusting your mailbox. This feature is not included. Also, disaster recovery backups can be improved. Some other solutions, such as HP Data Protector, have more features."

More OpenText Connected MX Cons →

"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.""It's a good product, but some are not happy with the boot BCN, and the point-to-point VPN requires the best protection.""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 security does not have 100% authentication.""The Office 360 integration could be improved.""The focus should be on making things automated .""I would like to see a support-cloud, where Sophos creates a single package that contains all of its products.""The product is not cheap."
