Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"SafeGuard's best feature is its stability.""It's the best solution on the market.""The solution can be easily connected and it is very secure.""I like the support most of all.""The advantage of Sophos SafeGuard stems from the fact that it is more secure than other products in the market.""The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats.""It's easy to use. You have to pay extra for additional, but the basic product is fantastic. It will be a good solution for you, depending on your requirements.""The most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks."

"It has reduced the number of incidents related to the loss of information.""We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities.""The solution is pretty stable.""It is stable.""Its management is good, and it is also scalable and mostly stable.""The most valuable features are the messaging features and shared folders.""The best feature of Symantec Endpoint Encryption is the encryption itself. Encryption truly is the way to go because nowadays we are living in an era of widespread server threats, and you need to encrypt your emails and documents because you never know who might get hold of them.""Antivirus, URL filtering, and firewall protection are the most effective features for data protection."

More Symantec Endpoint Encryption Pros →

"The number one feature I found was that the install was really easy, it was quite helpful.""The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Voltage SecureData Enterprise is the ease of configuration and the group services rest API."

Cons
"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.""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.""Once you lock a server, you won't be able to install or put something on that particular server, but on the PC or machines, the lockdown feature is not there, and it is a query our company raised when we had to provide details for Sophos' review.""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.""It's a good product, but some are not happy with the boot BCN, and the point-to-point VPN requires the best protection.""The dashboards lack sufficient information.""The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing.""You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle."

More Sophos SafeGuard Cons →

"The solution does not have endpoint control.""The solution does slow down the device a little bit, once it's installed.""There are other solutions in the market that have new features. The feature could improve.""The security could be improved.""It's a bit difficult to get good support. Their response times are really bad.""There are some issues with the single sign-on with the active directory. We had a few problems related to the synchronization between the active directory and the login features of the Symantec products because the users made many password changes during the day. The time for synchronization with the solutions can be improved. I would like to see mobile encryption. There should be a possibility to include all the mobiles of a company in the console. Many customers are asking about encryptions for tablets or cell phones, but we don't have any product that we are comfortable with to recommend to our customers.""I can only patch monthly. I don't know what the solution is there, besides being vulnerable for three weeks out of four. But there's got to be an option somehow.""The instability of the company and lack of presence in the Middle East is affecting product use."

More Symantec Endpoint Encryption Cons →

"Micro Focus Voltage SecureData Enterprise can improve the types of encryptions. They are limited by the number of types of encryption and types of masking they are allowing. In the solution that we were using, the illustration interface and the number of capabilities in terms of data masking were limited.""For a future release, the interface looks a bit dated and could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing costs depend on the series. For example, XG 85 can be around $200. If you go to ACC or to a four or five-year enterprise solution, you will find these devices can cost $10,000. It depends on the series."
  • "Licensing for this solution is on a yearly basis."
  • "The licenses are dependant on the number of users and computers you have to protect."
  • "We have a yearly license with Sophos which is around $1000-$1200 or so per annum. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
  • "Licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing could be better."
  • "It would be great if the price of the solution was lower than the current price. If we are to sell this particular solution to smaller businesses and not just enterprise businesses it needs to be lower."

  • "Pricing for Sophos SafeGuard could be improved because it could reach a thousand dollars depending on the product, edition, and software key purchased."
