Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, McAfee, Sophos and others in Endpoint Encryption."At the time when this tool was launched on the market, it had new technologies integrated within."
"Check Point GAiA is easy to use."
"One of the characteristics that give us the most value is that it offers the ability to perform HTTPS inspections."
"Full disk encryption helps us ensure that data stored on a device is encrypted."
"The solution has a great VPN."
"The solution can block a virus attack and prevent it from moving across the system."
"What I love most about Sophos SafeGuard is its user-friendly interface. My company has another software with a complex user interface versus Sophos SafeGuard, which is extremely easy to use."
"The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats."
"The intrusion detection system."
"It's a straightforward solution."
"The user experience and the quality of the features are good."
"The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use."
"I like the solution for its encryption."
"Its management is good, and it is also scalable and mostly stable."
"This product is a solid, all-in-one solution for enterprise data management."
"Their cloud features such as Cloud Endpoint security, ransomware modules, malware, and other modules are very effective."
"It helps us put antivirus solutions in place and prevent malware from getting to our machines."
"It has reduced the number of incidents related to the loss of information."
"We use it for protecting accounts, which is its most valuable feature."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"The UI was one of the most difficult points to get used to. Due to the UI, even though it was used every day, the administration was complicated."
"The installation was quite complex."
"We would maybe want (in the future) advanced security in the filtering of access to the metaverse by augmented reality cameras."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see application identity support."
"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."
"The dashboards lack sufficient information."
"As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized."
"The lack of need for the patch for an extra password is a shortcoming. It will be a great improvement if the patch requires an extra password so that they can find out how to synchronize your Windows password with the same password for Sophos SafeGuard."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"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."
"Sophos SafeGuard cannot block or quarantine such viruses. Quarantine is a feature with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"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."
"The solution does slow down the device a little bit, once it's installed."
"The solution does not have endpoint control."
"The agent can be improved on the solution. Right now, we have an Endpoint Protection agent as well as an encryption agent and another for the DLVs and other services. We would prefer a single agent for the entire product."
"The UI could be improved."
"What I didn't find helpful in the version we used is the fact that all devices had to be on the same network for us to push through the encryption."
"Upgrades from one version to another may only sometimes be straightforward, especially if one needs a clearer understanding of the process."
"There are some issues with the single sign-on with the active directory. We had a few problems related to the synchronization between the active directory and the login features of the Symantec products because the users made many password changes during the day. The time for synchronization with the solutions can be improved. I would like to see mobile encryption. There should be a possibility to include all the mobiles of a company in the console. Many customers are asking about encryptions for tablets or cell phones, but we don't have any product that we are comfortable with to recommend to our customers."
"The program's disk encryption is not very friendly with Microsoft OS updates. We have a problem with updates failing unless we use a time-consuming work-around."
