"We have been able to monitor access to files from each of our workstations.""The feature we call desktop recording is the most valuable aspect of the solution.

Cons
"They could improve the latency in the platform when entering the portal.""I rate the support from Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade a six out of ten.""In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment.""The price is high for small scale business enterprises.""The cost of maintaining the system is high for personal use.""The encryption is fast; however, when it comes to generating decryption of the OS disks, it is sometimes very slow, generating a loss of time.""There are a few cases of security breaches when the networking system fails and can lead to malware attacks. The next release should focus more on data virtualization and support for all computing devices.""The tool is too expensive to be an add-on to the main solution. They could launch it independently so that costs can be lowered."

More Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade Cons →

"The solution has complexities around policy creation and deployment.""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.""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.""I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated.""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.""The initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "As it costs $125 per workstation per year, something which is above the price of what the competition is charging, the solution is definitely too expensive."
  • More Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Digital Guardian has both, subscription and perpetual licenses, but I think when everything (all technologies) will go to the cloud they will only offer subscriptions."
  • "If I compare Digital Guardian with Symantec, the license cost is lower, but McAfee can be cheaper than Digital Guardian. It depends on how many licenses you plan to buy and how big the project is. The cost is not so high as Symantec, but not as cheap as McAfee. They can easily sell the solution for price."
  • "The price of Digital Guardian is expensive."
  • "The cost was around $300,000."
  • "The price of Digital Guardian is on the higher end compared to other vendors."
  • "I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten because Digital Guardian is expensive."
