Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, McAfee and others in Endpoint Encryption."It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues."
"The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks."
"It's a straightforward solution."
"It is one of the best products when it comes to stability."
"I like that Sophos SafeGuard provides excellent technical support."
"The tool is very safe, reliable, and fast."
"With Sophos, I only need to generate the password and give that to a user to be able to allow them to login 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."
"The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution."
"The Central Management server."
"I would like to see a support-cloud, where Sophos creates a single package that contains all of its products."
"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."
"The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing."
"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."
"SafeGuard's user interface is ugly and doesn't provide reports, so we have to go into the database and get information from there by creating queries."
"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."
"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."
"It's a good product, but some are not happy with the boot BCN, and the point-to-point VPN requires the best protection."
"MacOS X is missing features."
