"The most valuable feature is security."
"With this solution, the device control is more reliable and more stable."
"It is one of the best products when it comes to stability."

"The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use."
"The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks."
"The product is easy to use."
"For general data protection and GDPR requirements, which are relevant because we work with European companies, SafeGuard helps us stay compliant."

"The advantage of Sophos SafeGuard stems from the fact that it is more secure than other products in the market."
"The solution needs more advanced features."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The refresh feature needs improvement. You need to refresh it manually yt going to the address bar, clicking on it and pressing enter, or pressing F5. There should be a button you can click on to refresh or have it so every five seconds it's refreshing."
"Though there may be some ransomware detection modules now in McAfee Complete Data Protection, it's a field that McAfee should focus on, particularly having integration with some EDR or other add-ons. This is so McAfee Complete Data Protection would have more accuracy in detecting new ransomware in the market. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for its pricing to be more cost-effective because some competitors have cheaper pricing, so McAfee Complete Data Protection can't compete. Sometimes, some new vendors offer other solutions rather than McAfee Complete Data Protection, to win customers over, and this is a loss for McAfee."
"Some clients still receive spam and malware in their attachments, so the data protection isn't working correctly. We have configured it and enabled the features in the client's system, but some policies have failed to work once or twice."
"In terms of where the solution could improve, it could integrate with network solutions for ADTs, email web gateways and discovery."
"There was an option for SQL setup in the older versions of this product and it has been removed, but we would like to see it made available as an add-on."
"The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing."
"The dashboards lack sufficient information."
"As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized."
"The product is not cheap."
"It's a good product, but some are not happy with the boot BCN, and the point-to-point VPN requires the best protection."
"You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle."
"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."
