We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution can block a virus attack and prevent it from moving across the 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.""It's quite easy to integrate Safeguard with BitLocker""The most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks.""SafeGuard's best feature is its stability.""The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution.""The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use.""The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks."

"The solution enables all the development and technical team members to work from home while, at the same time, ensuring the security of the work environment.""The disk encryption is great.""It's a secure and quick solution.""The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software.""Trend Micro provides good overall protection. It has saved us from a few attacks and malware.""We use the solution for data encryption.""Encryption is the basic feature, and that is what I like about it.

Cons
"As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized.""Technical support could be a bit better.""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.""It's a good product, but some are not happy with the boot BCN, and the point-to-point VPN requires the best protection.""You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle.""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.""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.""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."

More Sophos SafeGuard Cons →

"They need to come up with cloud solutions.""To improve Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, the user interface could be somewhat more friendly. It is already friendly, but it can not be approached through to the exact issue and just to give you the full detail of each and every port graphically.""It is not easy to integrate with third party solutions.""Integration and support could be improved.""In terms of what must be improved, I would say the support, the next feature, and the road map. I think all these must be improved, but the important thing to improve is the support.""There are recovery issues that arise.""In the next release, it would be better if it was more user-friendly. It is a little complicated for the average technical person. If they can make it more user-friendly, it would be much easier and more helpful.""Support from them was not fast."
