Offers an easy initial setup phase to users
Pros and Cons
  • "It is one of the best products when it comes to stability."
  • "As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution in my company as an encryption solution, meaning that it is useful if you want encryption features. The new name of Sophos SafeGuard is Sophos Central Encryption.

What needs improvement?

As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized. I suggest that Sophos SafeGuard should be optimized so that it takes less time to provide encryption features to users. I want Sophos SafeGuard to consider another encryption solution since it currently uses BitLocker. The solution must have alternate encryption methods that users can use to make the tool more effective and a good solution.

From an improvement perspective, I would like to see more integration capabilities being offered by the product. The product is good and works properly in different environments.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Sophos SafeGuard for eight years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. It is one of the best products when it comes to stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. It is easy to use the tool's scalability features.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have experience with Trend Micro and Kaspersky. My company likes Sophos SafeGuard over the other products we have used in the past.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase is easy and not very difficult. Sophos SafeGuard is a cloud-based product. Users have to consider their assets to be encrypted. Sophos SafeGuard is not a very complex solution, meaning it is an easy tool to handle.

You must buy a Sophos Central Encryption license if you have a Sophos Central account. Once you get the license, you have to install the agent on your devices to encrypt the data. The deployment process is not complex and consists of simple steps.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Though it provides good endpoint security, there is a need to improve scalability
Pros and Cons
  • "The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software."
  • "The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution in my company for security purposes. The tool is used for endpoint security on our organization's laptop. My company also uses the DLP protection part for the inbound and outbound management of data.

What needs improvement?

I cannot make any modifications or changes in the application currently.

The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption for a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Around more than 200 people in my company use the product.

How are customer service and support?

I have experience with the solution's technical support. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have experience with Kaspersky.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software. I don't have any experience with the configuration part since the product was already configured when I joined the organization.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The licensing part of the product is managed by the IT infra team in my company.

You need to make payments towards the user-based license. In a company with around 100 users, there is a need to pay per user, which is not very expensive.

I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price.

What other advice do I have?

I don't have any idea about the implementation part because the tool was configured in my company's infrastructure. When I joined the organization, everything was configured. Currently, I am involved in the endpoint management and control.

My company uses the product for the endpoints in our company so that it offers protection against viruses and other malicious activities.

My company operates as a service provider, owing to which we deal with multiple clients and their data, which are stored in a PDF format. My company also provides applications to our clients. There are different types of data that my company protects from malicious activities and ransomware attacks.

The most beneficial part of the product for our company's security needs stems from the fact that it offers an agentless service, which makes it better to manage our endpoint devices.

I am not the right person to speak about how the full disc encryption capability of Trend Micro has impacted our data protection strategies since I am not the right person to provide any information about it. I am a system engineer who manages virtualization tools like VMware. There is a separate team for endpoint management in my organization.

Speaking about the user experience and management console of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, I would say that the product offers a very unique GUI. The unique GUI of the tool makes it possible to easily use the management console for some tasks, like creating and downloading reports.

There is a separate team with six to seven engineers in my company to manage the troubleshooting part of endpoint solutions.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it.

The product is easy to use. The product is useful in the area of ePO reporting. It is very easy to create general reports with the product.

I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
