"SafeGuard's best feature is its stability.""It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the GUI is easy to use.""The most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks.""I like the support most of all.""It's a straightforward solution.""The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats.""It's easy to use. You have to pay extra for additional, but the basic product is fantastic. It will be a good solution for you, depending on your requirements."

More Sophos SafeGuard Pros →

"The Android protection, it’s faster.""The solution offers a lot of custom features.""Their ransomware protection is useful.""Setting up the product is not too difficult.""Parental control""This solution is able to protect the data, files, and folders that have been hijack or encrypted.""Customer service has been excellent.

Cons
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see application identity support.""The UI was one of the most difficult points to get used to. Due to the UI, even though it was used every day, the administration was complicated.""The installation was quite complex.""We would maybe want (in the future) advanced security in the filtering of access to the metaverse by augmented reality cameras."

More Check Point Pointsec [EOL] Cons →

"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.""The tutorials need to be simplified. The existing ones need to be easier to follow and we could use some tutorials for basic setups. They should aim to be more like Cisco, which offers very good tutorials and materials.""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.""The Office 360 integration could be improved.""Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required.""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.""Sophos should conduct some seminars to teach people how to use it and also to inform the users about what they should do in case of problems.""You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle."

More Sophos SafeGuard Cons →

"This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware.""Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful.""When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually.""There have been some users who have been complaining about the interface being unfriendly and when the application software is installed on their phone making their mobile slow.""There is always room for improvement in security.""Contact Backup.""The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone.""Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates."

  • "Very cheap in cost"
