"The most valuable feature is security."
"The McAfee Threat Protection and McAfee Web Protection are valuable aspects of the solution. They're better than other features that come with the endpoints."
"The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats."
"It's the best solution on the market."
"The user experience and the quality of the features are good."
"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."
"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 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."
"The solution has a great VPN."
"Security-wise, it's one of the best."
"We find the dashboard, endpoint mobile encryption, and email encryption valuable."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"One notable aspect is the ability to customize alerts and other settings."
"It is fairly stable."
"In general terms, it is working properly and according to our expectations. The comfort of feeling secure is the most valuable. Some customers had certain fears about changing the product because no one wants to lose any kind of information or to have some problems or inconsistencies while migrating from one product to another."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable feature is that it works in the background so that the end-users are not aware of what is happening on the laptop."
"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities."
"Some clients still receive spam and malware in their attachments, so the data protection isn't working correctly. We have configured it and enabled the features in the client's system, but some policies have failed to work once or twice."
"A better GUI platform would make it easier to present information to management; I would not need to fix the data before I present it."
"The product consumes too much RAM and CPU for its processing and this can lead to resource issues on PCs."
"There are some features that do not work with Mac."
"The UI could be improved a bit."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"They could be better in terms of Complete Data Protection."
"The solution needs more advanced features."
"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."
"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's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed."
"The Office 360 integration could be improved."
"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."
"You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle."
"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."
"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."
"I do not find the environment to be very user-friendly."
"Its decryption time needs to be improved. Currently, its decryption time is very long, and it takes double time than encryption. They need to work on that. Its encryption time is fine."
"The solution does not have endpoint control."
"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."
"I think that they should improve the on-premises version to include the manageability and simplicity that is available on the cloud."
"The solution presently doesn't let network folder encryption be done on Macintosh."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
