Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Security-wise, it's one of the best.""SafeGuard's best feature is its stability.""It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues.""Policy deployment is easy and quick to do.""The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution.""The solution can block a virus attack and prevent it from moving across the system.""The tool is very safe, reliable, and fast.""The most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks."

Cons
"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 lack of need for the patch for an extra password is a shortcoming. It will be a great improvement if the patch requires an extra password so that they can find out how to synchronize your Windows password with the same password for Sophos SafeGuard.""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.""You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle.""It would be ideal if the solution had different features within one agent.""When you have the PPM chipset, you can have the power-on authentication, when you boot up your machine, you can set the six-digit passcode. As of right now, SafeGuard can't manage the six-digit passcode in terms of the expiration, and I need that added as a feature.""Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required.""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."

More Sophos SafeGuard Cons →

"When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually.""This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware.""Contact Backup.""There have been some users who have been complaining about the interface being unfriendly and when the application software is installed on their phone making their mobile slow.""The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone.""Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful.""There is always room for improvement in security.""Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates."

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."
  • "We pay around $10 a year for each endpoint, including support."
  • "Pricing for Sophos SafeGuard could be improved because it could reach a thousand dollars depending on the product, edition, and software key purchased."
  • More Sophos SafeGuard Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Very cheap in cost"
  • "Each license costs about $10/year. It's fairly inexpensive because it's a new product. In Pakistan, no more than two or three companies can apply for mobile protection right now. I don't know if there are ancillary costs above the standard licensing fee."
  • "We have a license that we renew yearly."
