"The console of the EDR is totally in the cloud."
"The interface is user-friendly and it provides a large number of options."

"I liked the way it works with our Microsoft tools. As we roll out Intune, we can validate if the device has been encrypted, and if not, we can push it down. It is pretty simple to deploy."
"It maintains security on my computer. Since I travel a lot, it gives me confidence that if, for some reason, my computer is lost, my data won't be compromised."
"The solution is included in Windows 11."
"The manageability of it is a valuable feature."
"It holds significant value as it reduces the need for extensive IT management to handle security across networks and environments"
"It is easy to use and administer."
"The ease of administering and integrating the solution is great."
"Whole Disk Encryption is great. BitLocker runs seamlessly during boot up."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the GUI is easy to use."
"The product filters phishing emails."
"The setup process is straightforward."
"The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution."
"The solution has a great VPN."
"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."
"It's quite easy to integrate Safeguard with BitLocker"
"I like that Sophos SafeGuard provides excellent technical support."
"I want simplicity. A new user opening the dashboard will be confused. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"Initial setup was complex."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The disk encryption can be improved."
"The refresh feature needs improvement. You need to refresh it manually yt going to the address bar, clicking on it and pressing enter, or pressing F5. There should be a button you can click on to refresh or have it so every five seconds it's refreshing."
"As a new technology, it does need to grow."
"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."
"The product must improve endpoint encryption."
"The encryption takes a long time to complete, and our system runs very slowly while it is encrypting."
"The solution lacks the ability to allow its user to provide limited access to someone."
"For improvement, as it is now, I do not have any support from anyone. There should be a web interface to manage BitLocker. But for now, all I do is just install a new product on the user's machine and create it. I would like to be able to see everything that is happening, even if it is just through a web interface. I would also like to be able to see how many users are provisioned, which users are using BitLocker, and how to disable or enable it. That's what I would like to see."
"I would like to see improvement in the solution's central management of passwords. Currently, we install it separately."
"The only thing that could be slightly improved is the occasional stability issue."
"Lacks a portal that can be managed rather than just existing."
"The product must improve the centralization of keys."
"The integration between Active Directory and BitLocker could be better."
"The solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed."
"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."
"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."
"The security does not have 100% authentication."
"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."
"The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing."
"As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized."
