"The most valuable feature is that everything is done on the server."

"The most valuable feature of ESET Endpoint Encryption is its rate of capturing viruses and malware."
"Policy deployment is easy and quick to do."
"I like the support most of all."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronized security. It's a unique feature on the market at this time only offered by Sophos. As a reseller, we often win bids and get clients because of this unique trademark feature."
"It's the best solution on the market."
"The user experience and the quality of the features are good."
"The advantage of Sophos SafeGuard stems from the fact that it is more secure than other products in the market."
"The product filters phishing emails."
"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 initial setup could be made easier."
"From an admin perspective, the solution's UI could be more user-friendly."
"There could be an option for users to restart the system without a password."
"Sometimes the server console is very slow, so the performance could be improved."

"Integration with central management needs improvement."
"ESET Endpoint Encryption needs to improve pricing and security."
"I would like to see better compatibility with mobile devices."
"The dashboards lack sufficient information."
"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."
"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."
"What would make Sophos SafeGuard better than competitors is if its management console also includes firewall management. In the future, I want Sophos SafeGuard to be more scalable."
"There are times that this solution takes up too much memory that needs to be resolved. If it is not fixed it will definitely create issues in the future."
"Sophos SafeGuard is a German product. Sophos isn't really active in Europe. The Middle East, Africa, South Africa works with Sophos but their primary users aren't in Europe. They should market and push this solution to the European market."
"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."
"You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle."
