Sophos SafeGuard Other Advice

Miyoba Sichimwi - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Technology Security Officer at South African National Accreditation System (sanas)

I advise them to go ahead. It's seamless, easy to install, and highly resilient to the user. The user doesn't even realize that accepting the password is required.

Overall, I rate the solution between nine out of ten.

I'm using the latest version of Sophos SafeGuard.

I'm a Sophos SafeGuard customer.

Everybody uses the product within my company, so that's hundreds of people.

I'd recommend Sophos SafeGuard to others because it's a good product.

Sophos SafeGuard is an eight out of ten for me because it's an excellent product, but it's not easy to push the product, primarily because of self-service issues. Sophos should make Sophos SafeGuard stronger commercially.

In case of device loss or theft, you know that all your data is encrypted, and no one can use the data if you are using Sophos SafeGuard in your company, ensuring that the device encryption feature is useful.

In Sophos SafeGuard, the management of encryption keys is easy.

The product's seamless integration capabilities with existing systems have improved the company's data security posture. The product is well integrated with different environments like Windows, Mac, and other solutions. The tool has good integration features and works fine with Windows, Mac, and other products.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. I suggest others go for Sophos Endpoint Protection and Sophos Firewall, as both products work fine if configured properly.

The product's compliance with data protection regulations makes it easy for our company to use. The compliance with data protection regulations makes it a good solution to be deployed for some of our company's clients who follow NIST or CIS benchmarks.

The product is beneficial for those who suffer from data losses in their company. I recommend the product to others since it is really helpful to protect data.

I rate the overall tool an eight and a half out of ten.

Technology Engineering and Solutions Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

We're basically an end-user. We're a bank. We have a vendor the provides resources to us. 

I'm a solution architect and not fully working on the solution directly, per se. I'm looking for a way to switch over from Sophos to Bitlocker. 

Whether or not this is the right solution depends on each individual company. They have to decide if it is compatible and comparable with a paid solution or a free solution. I advise users to go with a free solution, such as BitLocker, as when we compare Sophos and BitLocker both cover the same aspects such as encryption. We can do what we need to do with both solutions and yet we only have to pay for one.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. It's a very good product overall. The main reason I would like to switch is based on the cost. If I don't have to pay for something, I would prefer not to.

We use the on-premises deployment model.

I would recommend the solution. New users should ensure that they get every module that they need. 

I had a friend whose server was attacked by ransomware. It became a challenge for them. However, by installing Sophos Intercept X for servers, you could lock down that server, so that no executive file or no program would run unless you unlock them. The programs that would function would only be the ones that you have listed on Sophos. I didn't know that existed until I started using Sophos Endpoint. The antivirus is not just running on my system to protect it against viruses, it's also allowing me to lock my systems so that nobody can execute anything without my authorization. It gives me enormous peace of mind.

I would rate the solution ten out of ten.

I have experience with Sophos SafeGuard.

The solution is for the customer. I'm a sales manager, and I sell Sophos SafeGuard to the end user.

If you're marketing Sophos SafeGuard, it's booming now as a cyber security appliance or product. Still, you'll need to concentrate more on marketing and rely on good distributors and partners.

My rating for Sophos SafeGuard is eight out of ten.

We're merely a customer of the solution. We don't have a special relationship with Sophos.

We mostly deploy the solution on-premises, and only occasionally on the cloud.

I don't think I have much advice to give to other companies in regard to this product. We use it to manage BitLocker and find it very easy to set up. Organizations shouldn't have trouble implementing it into their business. We never have had issues with it in terms of implementation.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

I would recommend the solution.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

There's not a good market for this type of solution here in Egypt. It might be because here in Egypt there isn't a great need for this kind of solution yet. There are no compliance regulations from the government. However, the solution offers good features and I believe would be good for customers. There are so many areas where customers need encryption technology.

The tool's cloud data protection is great since it manages everything and gives feedback. It also notifies users about any precautions or risks.

The product is easy to use.

I feel that there was no need to maintain it since I haven't seen any big issues with the product.

I have gone through the encryption and decryption process offered by the tool.

In terms of integration with the existing IT infrastructure, I feel the product is quite friendly.

The product offers great quality and security to use and manage. The tool is also very helpful and doesn't have any hard and fast rules, making it quite a friendly solution.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

It's worth taking the time to figure out how the solution can fit your needs. Sophos satisfies a large number of requirements and gives you unified security. It's something that has become a standard function with all other solutions in the market including with Palo Alto, SonicWall. I think Sophos leads in that space and if you're looking at a unified security function, then I recommend Sophos because of the protection from the endpoint to the gateway. It's a strong and capable system. 

I rate this solution nine out of 10.

The more customers that use this solution the better it will be in terms of developing or improving the technical issues. It will be an opportunity to have issues resolved as it will give it some importance.

They are progressing and doing some amazing things because Sophos Central is now managing the encryption but not all features.

I would recommend this solution.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Presales Manager at provad

We are using the cloud version of this solution because the on-premises version does not have anti-ransomware or machine learning capability.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to also use the cloud version, rather than the on-premises edition. This is especially true if they have teleworkers or mobile users that are often off-premises.

The security of our data is important. One of our teams has a person who lost their laptop, and the team was not using this solution so it was not encrypted. We consider that to be data leakage.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

LM
Information Security Officer at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees

Our company provides protection for 3,000 endpoint users. 

We are customers of the solution. 

Our solution is on hybrid cloud, with our servers being on-premises and the updates and sandbox being on the cloud. 

I recommend that a person have a good implementation team which is very familiar with the solution. One who implements with a DLP solution should be careful with the DLL. 

I rate Sophos SafeGuard as a nine out of ten.

Working with this solution will depend on your budget. If you purchase Sophos your data and your network will be secured. It's not more expensive than similar products. I recommend going with Sophos. 

I would rate Sophos a 7.5 out of ten because there are better firewalls out there.

SP
Senior Technical Account Manager at Npo Sistemi

Sophos is the leading brand for information security. 

Sophos is a complete solution that has a range of firewalls and all of the software bundles from the endpoint to the data center.

Along with our service providers and our team, who have a good understanding of the product, we use Sophos technicians to do the webcast for our customers. This occurs as part of the process, but typically not during the implementation phase.

Most of the time the customer doesn't require special features to be added. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
