"The technical support is really terrific."
"The solution can be easily connected and it is very secure."
"It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues."
"The solution has a great VPN."
"Security-wise, it's one of the best."
"The tool is very safe, reliable, and fast."
"The advantage of Sophos SafeGuard stems from the fact that it is more secure than other products in the market."
"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."
"The intrusion detection system."
"I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."
"It would be helpful if there was an on-premise version of the solution for companies that cannot use the cloud, such as government sectors."
"The solution has complexities around policy creation and deployment."
"Digital Guardian is an excellent solution but our experience with the partner has been the most horrible experience we have ever had with any partner."
"If the client uses Windows 10 or 11 and Microsoft updates the operating system's version, Digital Guardian must update their product to match compatibility."
"There are a lot of issues with the current version of the Endpoint agent. It's not stable, it's resource-consuming, and there are some performance issues. If they could improve the stability of the agent it would be great."
"When considering potential areas for improvement, it may be beneficial for Digital Guardian to optimize its processes and reduce the computational demands on the system, particularly with regard to high CPU usage. Although Digital Guardian offers numerous benefits, it can consume a substantial amount of RAM and CPU power."
"Some features on Mac and Linux are not complete currently. For example, some device control features haven't been transferred over to the other systems. If they could have their Windows features also available on Mac and Linux, that would be perfect. Some of our customers have a Mac environment for their RD environment. Having the solution fully capable of handling everything in a Mac environment is crucial."
"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."
"The product's next release could have integration features with different internal and external systems."
"As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized."
"The security does not have 100% authentication."
"You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle."
"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 solution is not using other features like booting encryption, because it causes very heavy processing of the workstation. If they could find some way to handle the encryption and decryption to be lighter on the workstation it would be better."
"There's no centralized management. This is a drawback."
