We performed a comparison between Digital Guardian, Sophos SafeGuard, and Symantec Endpoint Encryption based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, McAfee, Sophos and others in Endpoint Encryption."The technical support is really terrific."
"The most valuable feature of Digital Guardian is its reputation. They have scored high on the Gartner Magic Quadrant."
"It can scale from 100 to 10,000. There's no problem with the scalability."
"The feature we call desktop recording is the most valuable aspect of the solution. Not only can we collect data from the user's usage, but we also capture his screenshots when he is trying to steal the data."
"I like the solution's adaptive inspection and container inspection."
"Some of the features that are highly appreciated are its robust data loss prevention capabilities, flexible deployment options, and the ability to monitor data transfer across multiple vectors."
"It has the added advantage of offering forensic analysis."
"There is a built-in endpoint detection response that helps save money."
"The Intercept X feature is the most valuable feature. You can't find this feature in other firewalls because Intercept X works as if it has an interaction between the endpoint and the firewall."
"I like the support most of all."
"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 features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks."
"It is one of the best products when it comes to stability."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the GUI is easy to use."
"Policy deployment is easy and quick to do."
"The most valuable features are the messaging features and shared folders."
"We find the dashboard, endpoint mobile encryption, and email encryption valuable."
"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities."
"It is fairly stable."
"One notable aspect is the ability to customize alerts and other settings."
"We can extend it to all of the critical endpoints and the servers, and we can ensure the confidentiality of the data."
"Antivirus, URL filtering, and firewall protection are the most effective features for data protection."
"The solution is great for large-scale deployments."
"When considering potential areas for improvement, it may be beneficial for Digital Guardian to optimize its processes and reduce the computational demands on the system, particularly with regard to high CPU usage. Although Digital Guardian offers numerous benefits, it can consume a substantial amount of RAM and CPU power."
"The initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions."
"Some features on Mac and Linux are not complete currently. For example, some device control features haven't been transferred over to the other systems. If they could have their Windows features also available on Mac and Linux, that would be perfect. Some of our customers have a Mac environment for their RD environment. Having the solution fully capable of handling everything in a Mac environment is crucial."
"The solution has complexities around policy creation and deployment."
"The room for improvement with Digital Guardian is that it will be better with the Linux agent because it is the only DLP solution for Linux workstations. It still needs to upgrade the agents to the latest version for the Linux kernel."
"There are a lot of issues with the current version of the Endpoint agent. It's not stable, it's resource-consuming, and there are some performance issues. If they could improve the stability of the agent it would be great."
"I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."
"It would be helpful if there was an on-premise version of the solution for companies that cannot use the cloud, such as government sectors."
"As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized."
"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."
"The dashboards lack sufficient information."
"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."
"There are times that this solution takes up too much memory that needs to be resolved. If it is not fixed it will definitely create issues in the future."
"It's a good product, but some are not happy with the boot BCN, and the point-to-point VPN requires the best protection."
"I would like to see a support-cloud, where Sophos creates a single package that contains all of its products."
"The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing."
"The product can be expensive. Price was a factor in moving away from the product."
"From an administration point of view, maybe it would be ideal to have it centrally managed."
"I think that they should improve the on-premises version to include the manageability and simplicity that is available on the cloud."
"The instability of the company and lack of presence in the Middle East is affecting product use."
"I would like them to have integration with a wider range of non-Symantec products."
"If for example, a user forgets the endpoint key, they cannot access their data. We need a support team that is a single point of contact for the IT entity to be trained and to have documentation for troubleshooting and managing the solution."
"I can only patch monthly. I don't know what the solution is there, besides being vulnerable for three weeks out of four. But there's got to be an option somehow."
"The security could be improved."
