We performed a comparison between Digital Guardian, Sophos SafeGuard, 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."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."
"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."
"We have been able to monitor access to files from each of our workstations."
"I like the solution's adaptive inspection and container inspection."
"It has been scalable."
"It has the added advantage of offering forensic analysis."
"There is a built-in endpoint detection response that helps save money."
"The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use."
"SafeGuard's best feature is its stability."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution can be easily connected and it is very secure."
"I like the support most of all."
"The solution can block a virus attack and prevent it from moving across the system."
"It's a straightforward solution."
"With Sophos, I only need to generate the password and give that to a user to be able to allow them to login to the admin page of the Endpoint and do whatever they need to do. The user cannot go ahead and uninstall it. It's kept us much more secure because of this. Should any event happen on a particular system, I'm given the username and the system IP address. I get notifications and can deal with issues right away."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"It helps us put antivirus solutions in place and prevent malware from getting to our machines."
"It is stable."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"We find the dashboard, endpoint mobile encryption, and email encryption valuable."
"We can extend it to all of the critical endpoints and the servers, and we can ensure the confidentiality of the data."
"The best feature of Symantec Endpoint Encryption is the encryption itself. Encryption truly is the way to go because nowadays we are living in an era of widespread server threats, and you need to encrypt your emails and documents because you never know who might get hold of them."
"Antivirus, URL filtering, and firewall protection are the most effective features for data protection."
"I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"Digital Guardian is an excellent solution but our experience with the partner has been the most horrible experience we have ever had with any partner."
"As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation with the endpoint logging, but it's a special feature that is quite complicated to explain."
"The product is not cheap."
"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."
"You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle."
"The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing."
"When you have the PPM chipset, you can have the power-on authentication, when you boot up your machine, you can set the six-digit passcode. As of right now, SafeGuard can't manage the six-digit passcode in terms of the expiration, and I need that added as a feature."
"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 product can be expensive. Price was a factor in moving away from the product."
"The instability of the company and lack of presence in the Middle East is affecting product use."
"The solution presently doesn't let network folder encryption be done on Macintosh."
"The solution does not have endpoint control."
"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."
"I think that they should improve the on-premises version to include the manageability and simplicity that is available on the cloud."
"The UI could be improved."
"I can only patch monthly. I don't know what the solution is there, besides being vulnerable for three weeks out of four. But there's got to be an option somehow."
