Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, McAfee, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Endpoint Encryption."We never had any complaints about the performance of computers with this tool to be able to manage the protection of disks and drives."
"It's easily scalable and adaptable to the needs of the business."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade is hard disk protection."
"This software has helped individuals in the organization avoid data loss."
"End-to-end encryption provides full disk encryption, ensuring that all data on the device, including the operating system."
"It keeps the devices well monitored."
"The encryption ensures each of our drives is not invasive and that the user does not have a bad experience even while the drive is being encrypted."
"It helps us maximize the operational efficiency and performance of our activities."
"I like BitLocker because it gives us strong encryption to protect our data."
"The most valuable feature is the TPM (Trusted Platform Module), which makes the PC security stronger because somebody who is not from the team cannot access the PC without the decryption PIN."
"It's a straightforward solution for encryption."
"The solution works the way it's supposed to - stability and scalability are fine."
"You can do a silent remote deployment very fast."
"Integration with System Center Configuration Manager (C: and D: logical drives are encrypted before installing Windows via SCCM)."
"Whole Disk Encryption is great. BitLocker runs seamlessly during boot up."
"I like the simplicity and ease of use of this solution."
"The setup process is straightforward."
"It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues."
"The solution has a great VPN."
"The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks."
"The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats."
"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."
"The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the GUI is easy to use."
"You do need to be careful that you don't mess too much with the endpoint, or you might have issues with the work stations."
"The encryption is fast; however, when it comes to generating decryption of the OS disks, it is sometimes very slow, generating a loss of time."
"The tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device."
"The cost of maintaining the system is high for personal use."
"The response time for technical support could be faster."
"While the solution works as it should, it is overly expensive."
"There are a few cases of security breaches when the networking system fails and can lead to malware attacks. The next release should focus more on data virtualization and support for all computing devices."
"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."
"The solution lacks the ability to allow its user to provide limited access to someone."
"The implementation of BitLocker is not simple. There are many prerequisites and hours of study and testing."
"The encryption takes a long time to complete, and our system runs very slowly while it is encrypting."
"It needs a management console."
"The biggest one for us is revoking access. So, even though someone downloads something to a device, we want the ability to cloak that device or data and bring it back or make that data unusable for that person. Currently, BitLocker doesn't give us that ability. It basically encrypts it. We're seeing if identity management or IAM allows us to do that. We're kind of looking at third-party software that does that for us."
"At the end of it all, we are looking for something that can be easier to manage."
"I would like to be able to encrypt our cloud tenancy."
"Lacks a portal that can be managed rather than just existing."
"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 cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing."
"The dashboards lack sufficient information."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The tutorials need to be simplified. The existing ones need to be easier to follow and we could use some tutorials for basic setups. They should aim to be more like Cisco, which offers very good tutorials and materials."
