"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"It helps us put antivirus solutions in place and prevent malware from getting to our machines."
"The management console gives us the ability to quickly control who sees what, ensures we are on the latest version, and up-to-date."
"The Central Management server."
"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."
"The Office 360 integration could be improved."
"The security does not have 100% authentication."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 product can be expensive. Price was a factor in moving away from the product."
"Upgrades from one version to another may only sometimes be straightforward, especially if one needs a clearer understanding of the process."
"Symantec Endpoint Encryption can improve by being more secure."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"We would like some advanced security protection features."
"The GUI could use some enhancement, particularly in making option sets easier to locate on client machines."
"MacOS X is missing features."
