We performed a comparison between Microsoft BitLocker and Sophos SafeGuard based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Encryption solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the simplicity and ease of use of this solution."
"Being able to encrypt an entire hard disk has been most valuable."
"The solution is included in Windows 11."
"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 manageability of it is a valuable feature."
"The tool has improved the starting up of our notebooks and end-user devices."
"The tool is stable."
"Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable features are stability and simplicity in terms of usage."
"The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the GUI is easy to use."
"The advantage of Sophos SafeGuard stems from the fact that it is more secure than other products in the market."
"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"
"It is one of the best products when it comes to stability."
"It's the best solution on the market."
"The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks."
"The solution needs to have better protection and improve its pricing."
"Lacks a portal that can be managed rather than just existing."
"The solution lacks the ability to allow its user to provide limited access to someone."
"The visualization could be better."
"The primary aspect for improvement lies in expanding our developer base, which would accelerate the development process and bring these enhancements to fruition"
"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."
"The solution could improve by having a centralized GUI for management."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"What would make Sophos SafeGuard better than competitors is if its management console also includes firewall management. In the future, I want Sophos SafeGuard to be more scalable."
"You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle."
"It just needs a little bit more on the reporting side. Its reporting can be improved a little bit in terms of being able to know that things are in the right status. I should be able to pull a report to make sure that everything is all right. It could also have cloud integration. At the time I was using it, it wasn't a cloud product."
"Having a DLP integrated with the encryption engine would be very good."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The security does not have 100% authentication."
