We performed a comparison between Digital Guardian, Microsoft BitLocker, and Symantec Endpoint Encryption based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Endpoint Encryption."There is a built-in endpoint detection response that helps save money."
"We have been able to monitor access to files from each of our workstations."
"It has been scalable."
"Some of the features that are highly appreciated are its robust data loss prevention capabilities, flexible deployment options, and the ability to monitor data transfer across multiple vectors."
"The most valuable feature of Digital Guardian is its reputation. They have scored high on the Gartner Magic Quadrant."
"The technical support is really terrific."
"It can scale from 100 to 10,000. There's no problem with the scalability."
"The feature we call desktop recording is the most valuable aspect of the solution. Not only can we collect data from the user's usage, but we also capture his screenshots when he is trying to steal the data."
"I like BitLocker because it gives us strong encryption to protect our data."
"Feature-wise we have the ability to encrypt fast."
"I liked the way it works with our Microsoft tools. As we roll out Intune, we can validate if the device has been encrypted, and if not, we can push it down. It is pretty simple to deploy."
"While it helps mitigate unauthorized data access by enhancing file and system protection through encryption, the tool is really enhanced with the combination of other Microsoft Security and Compliance features like data labeling."
"BitLocker is completely stable."
"The most important aspect of this solution is that if your laptop gets stolen, the information is encrypted."
"The tool has improved the starting up of our notebooks and end-user devices."
"It's a straightforward solution for encryption."
"I like the management aspect of this solution. You don't want to have end-users tweak or set it themselves, so the fact that you could do it from a central point helped us a lot."
"It has reduced the number of incidents related to the loss of information."
"The most valuable feature is that it works in the background so that the end-users are not aware of what is happening on the laptop."
"Their cloud features such as Cloud Endpoint security, ransomware modules, malware, and other modules are very effective."
"The encryption feature is very good."
"One notable aspect is the ability to customize alerts and other settings."
"It helps us put antivirus solutions in place and prevent malware from getting to our machines."
"The most valuable features are the messaging features and shared folders."
"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."
"I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."
"The room for improvement with Digital Guardian is that it will be better with the Linux agent because it is the only DLP solution for Linux workstations. It still needs to upgrade the agents to the latest version for the Linux kernel."
"The initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support could be better."
"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."
"The reporting in Microsoft is very minimal."
"The migration itself is a nightmare."
"The solution lacks the ability to allow its user to provide limited access to someone."
"The customizations could be more flexible."
"Some of the technical internal functions, such as encryption protocols or something similar, could be improved."
"There are options which could be implemented to make it a little more like PGP Whole Disk Encryption."
"BitLocker should be available on standard Windows. We need to spend money on a Pro license to get BitLocker because it's essential to protect our customers' data. We don't want that to fall into the wrong hands."
"The integration between Active Directory and BitLocker could be better."
"If for example, a user forgets the endpoint key, they cannot access their data. We need a support team that is a single point of contact for the IT entity to be trained and to have documentation for troubleshooting and managing the solution."
"The security could be improved."
"It was hard to install and took us about three months."
"The GUI could use some enhancement, particularly in making option sets easier to locate on client machines."
"Its decryption time needs to be improved. Currently, its decryption time is very long, and it takes double time than encryption. They need to work on that. Its encryption time is fine."
"There are some issues with the single sign-on with the active directory. We had a few problems related to the synchronization between the active directory and the login features of the Symantec products because the users made many password changes during the day. The time for synchronization with the solutions can be improved. I would like to see mobile encryption. There should be a possibility to include all the mobiles of a company in the console. Many customers are asking about encryptions for tablets or cell phones, but we don't have any product that we are comfortable with to recommend to our customers."
"It's difficult to integrate the solution with the DLP"
"The program's disk encryption is not very friendly with Microsoft OS updates. We have a problem with updates failing unless we use a time-consuming work-around."
