We performed a comparison between Microsoft BitLocker and Sophos Mobile based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, McAfee, Sophos and others in Endpoint Encryption."The most valuable feature is the authentication process which is very fast."
"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."
"Microsoft BitLocker can be used to ensure that stolen PCs or laptops do not lose their data."
"It comes bundled with other Microsoft solutions."
"I like BitLocker because it gives us strong encryption to protect our data."
"You can do a silent remote deployment very fast."
"BitLocker is completely stable."
"Feature-wise we have the ability to encrypt fast."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"The management and enrollment process is great, and with the asset management and instant action menu, we can easily maintain and support the users."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"The security features work well."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"I like the level of interaction that the product offers with the other products in our company's environment."
"There are options which could be implemented to make it a little more like PGP Whole Disk Encryption."
"User profiles can be improved so that people can create their own passwords. It has one password per machine, which is a problem. We would prefer each user to have his or her own boot password. Each user can have a username and password or biometrics, such as fingerprints and iris scanner, integrated into the boot process, but I really can't see that coming anytime soon, if ever."
"I would like to see improvement in the solution's central management of passwords. Currently, we install it separately."
"Lacks a portal that can be managed rather than just existing."
"They can improve the security of the application and include an encryption disk in the next feature."
"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."
"The primary aspect for improvement lies in expanding our developer base, which would accelerate the development process and bring these enhancements to fruition"
"At the end of it all, we are looking for something that can be easier to manage."
"The setup should be made easier."
"We have experienced issues in updating iOS devices when we set a minimum version requirement policy, and we do not have the option to force automatic installation. This means that the device must be supervised in order for updates to be applied, which we would like to see improved."
"To manage the Apple devices is not that straightforward there are a lot of features the other third parties solutions are offering which Sophos Mobile is not."
"They continue to work on integration with mobile device management and mobile security. They are improving the protection but I think that the capabilities still need to be enhanced."
"The features of Sophos Mobile could improve. The way the system works together could be better. Additionally, the integration with other Sophos products could improve."
"In terms of what could be improved, the initial configuration and setup of the environment could probably be made a little bit easier. There are so many pieces that go into it. Intune is absolutely insane and Sophos is better, but it still is a bit complex to get it all set up correctly."
"Our support reps are based in the Philippines, and it's hard to connect with them sometimes. It took me about two months to resolve my issue, so it wasn't a good experience."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
