More Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade Cons →

"It's a good product, but some are not happy with the boot BCN, and the point-to-point VPN requires the best protection.""Sophos SafeGuard cannot block or quarantine such viruses. Quarantine is a feature with shortcomings that needs improvement.""The product is not cheap.""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 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.""The solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed.""Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required.""The integration could be a little better."
