More Check Point Pointsec [EOL] Pros →

"The monitoring features are easy to use.""It's a straightforward solution.""I like that Sophos SafeGuard provides excellent technical support.""The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution.""It's quite easy to integrate Safeguard with BitLocker""SafeGuard's best feature is its stability.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the GUI is easy to use.""The solution has a great VPN."

Cons
"The UI was one of the most difficult points to get used to. Due to the UI, even though it was used every day, the administration was complicated.""We would maybe want (in the future) advanced security in the filtering of access to the metaverse by augmented reality cameras.""In the next release of this solution, I would like to see application identity support.""The installation was quite complex."

More Check Point Pointsec [EOL] Cons →

"The solution is not using other features like booting encryption, because it causes very heavy processing of the workstation. If they could find some way to handle the encryption and decryption to be lighter on the workstation it would be better.""The product's next release could have integration features with different internal and external systems.""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.""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.""I would like to see a support-cloud, where Sophos creates a single package that contains all of its products.""Having a DLP integrated with the encryption engine would be very good.""The integration could be a little better.""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."
