Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integration features are the most valuable. The integration is specific to each solution. It works well with SQL and Oracle databases and so on."

"With Sophos, I only need to generate the password and give that to a user to be able to allow them to login to the admin page of the Endpoint and do whatever they need to do. The user cannot go ahead and uninstall it. It's kept us much more secure because of this. Should any event happen on a particular system, I'm given the username and the system IP address. I get notifications and can deal with issues right away.""It's quite easy to integrate Safeguard with BitLocker""Policy deployment is easy and quick to do.""The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks.""The product is 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.""I like the support most of all.""The intrusion detection system."

Cons
"On the exchange server, you do not have the best options for adjusting your mailbox. This feature is not included. Also, disaster recovery backups can be improved. Some other solutions, such as HP Data Protector, have more features."

More OpenText Connected MX Cons →

"It would be ideal if the solution had different features within one agent.""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 dashboards lack sufficient information.""The solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed.""Technical support could be a bit better.""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.""The Office 360 integration could be improved.""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."
