It's more about the easy installation and runs in the background without disturbing the user. The other two features are quite attractive.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the GUI is easy to use. If I talk about the product's central management, the tool nowadays allows users to manage the firewall and endpoints from a central dashboard easily. So that one is also a plus. The tool does the main job, making it a good solution.

First, it's very secure. 

Second, it's reliable. 

Additionally, it contains audit trails, which are essential in case of a security breach for investigation purposes.

Integration with other solutions is one of its strongest points. It's very easy to integrate and automate.

Encryption is not the major focus of this technology. It's embedded, so the specific encryption method used isn't the primary concern for us.

What I love most about Sophos SafeGuard is its user-friendly interface. My company has another software with a complex user interface versus Sophos SafeGuard, which is extremely easy to use.

I also like that you can modify policies in the product.

The product filters phishing emails. It blocks suspicious files downloaded on devices to avoid damage. We use data encryption. If our laptop is stolen, we can avoid losing data. The product is very safe. The interface used for deploying encryption policies is user-friendly. I’m satisfied with the tool’s performance.

I like its ease of use the most. The management console is really nice. I like having one pane of glass that does everything. It does the Sophos anti-virus and encryption. Everything that you need is in one place. It is easy to use, and it is also pretty fast.

It provides some pretty good details, and it lets you know who has access to a file. You can also add additional people to the encrypted documents, which is pretty good. Its stability and performance are also very good.

Head of IT at Digital Oak LTD

I use all the features. they're all excellent. One of the aspects of the solution that I like the most is the fact that I can control my peripherals without having to use it for part of the application.

With Sophos, I only need to generate the password and give that to a user to be able to allow them to log in 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.

With Central Synchronisation, the Sophos Endpoint can be linked with Sophos firewall to constantly monitor the health status of computers on your network.

A policy on the health status of each computer can be configured to determine actions that will be take should a computer be found infected.

if the health status of the computer changes, the computer can be denied access to the internet and other segments of the network and reported to the admin and Sophos Endpoint will disinfect the system, report the health status to Sophos firewall and access to the internet and other segments of the network will be granted to the computer.

all of these is done without human intervention.

The management and the removable media encryption are two of the solution's most valuable features, in my opinion. They're very useful.

Technical & Pre-Sales Manager at GateLock

Sophos SafeGuard has one of the most perfect advantages, which is the data keys for encryption.

This solution uses an agent, and the agent is talking with many operating systems. It encrypts on the cloud and on the hard disk.

Even if you want to create it with login access before the Windows boot, it is working for the booting process and you can encrypt files on the mobile and use its agent also.

The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks. The data that is moved and the data at rest need to be encrypted.

They are not using the booting encryption because it creates heavy processing on the work station, and that delays the work. Instead, they have chosen to encrypt files that are in transit, or that are in rest only.

The Intercept X feature is the most valuable feature. You can't find this feature in other firewalls because Intercept X works as if it has an interaction between the endpoint and the firewall. It makes a connection between the endpoint protection and the firewall. If Intercept X finds some behavior that's not right, it separates it and it secures the network to defend it from this attack. This is a good feature and development that Sophos implemented around five years ago.

Senior Technical Account Manager at Npo Sistemi

The most valuable feature is the synchronized security. It's a unique feature on the market at this time only offered by Sophos. As a reseller, we often win bids and get clients because of this unique trademark feature.

It's a complete end-to-end solution, which is a huge advantage. 

It's easy to explain to customers.

We don't have to go from one product to another to address the needs of our customers. Everything you need is in the solution, and the license is embedded in the firewall.
