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."Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable feature is endpoint encryption, and it's quite easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature is the authentication process which is very fast."
"It is easy to use. It is usually easy to recover someone's privacy. The manageability is much easier than McAfee. I think that Microsoft is a leader in this area. We are in the Microsoft school so our judgment of McAfee will be a little bit unfair as we recommend Microsoft all the time because of the easy manageability and support. I think that McAfee is designed for a different customer and every time we open a ticket with their support, it takes a very, very long time. The main difference is just the manageability and support. In terms of the solution itself or the functionality, I know that McAfee is very strong, but manageability and support, for us, is much more important. It's strengthens the solution for us."
"I like BitLocker because it gives us strong encryption to protect our data."
"Feature-wise we have the ability to encrypt fast."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. The ability to import data to build your frontend on top of the data is very simple and very useable."
"The best thing about it is the encryption type and the way it requires TPM when someone tries to access the drive."
"The solution works the way it's supposed to - stability and scalability are fine."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"The initial setup process is straightforward and fast."
"The security features work well."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"The solution provides us with data protection."
"The remote management and cloud-based maintenance features of this solution are very useful for our organization."
"Sophos can block the Wi-Fi connection on a mobile device. That's one feature we wanted, but the main thing is the ability to disable the device if it's lost or stolen. We need to shut down PayPal, so it can't be used to make unauthorized purchases."
"I would like to see improvement in the solution's central management of passwords. Currently, we install it separately."
"If the encryption was faster then it would make the experience more pleasant."
"In future releases, I would like to see a feature where I can have a view of each device that has BitLocker to see if these machines are encrypted or not. So, I just want a view or a dashboard that can tell us so that I can remediate and add BitLocker to those systems or devices."
"I would recommend BitLocker only because of the economic side, not the technical side. If the features were included in the already existing licenses I would use it. If not, I would recommend other products."
"The solution lacks the ability to allow its user to provide limited access to someone."
"The migration itself is a nightmare."
"We recently found some stability issues with Microsoft BitLocker."
"They can improve the security of the application and include an encryption disk in the next feature."
"We would like to see graphics showing the use of each device."
"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."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
"The setup should be made easier."
"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."
"There may be necessary adjustments that need to be made because we are facing certain restrictions within the work profile."
"The product does not work well in iOS."
