Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Encryption solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have found the USB part most valuable."
"It provides encryption, data protection, and DLP, all under one roof. The deployment, scalability, and reporting is too good. My clients are satisfied with the stability of the product. The solution is highly scalable. The technical support's response time and turnaround time as the solution provider are excellent. The availability of great back-end support and process support makes the product great. The initial setup is straightforward, with simple configurations. I recommend the solution."
"We can scale the solution."
"I am satisfied with the customer service/technical support."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"The beauty of McAfee is that they are not looking at encryption from one single standpoint. It is a broader solution."
"Reporting and encryption are its most valuable features."
"The new feature for online protection does a good job of identifying traits."
"The intrusion detection system."
"The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use."
"The product filters phishing emails."
"The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the GUI is easy to use."
"SafeGuard's best feature is its stability."
"I like its ease of use the most. The management console is really nice. I like having one pane of glass that does everything. It does the Sophos anti-virus and encryption. Everything that you need is in one place. It is easy to use, and it is also pretty fast. It provides some pretty good details, and it lets you know who has access to a file. You can also add additional people to the encrypted documents, which is pretty good. Its stability and performance are also very good."
"We are looking for more granular control over the policies."
"The price is a little high and could be better."
"I want simplicity. A new user opening the dashboard will be confused. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"The solution needs to reduce the number of false positives. There are too many of them."
"It is difficult to manage."
"In terms of where the solution could improve, it could integrate with network solutions for ADTs, email web gateways and discovery."
"There are some features that do not work with Mac."
"The refresh feature needs improvement. You need to refresh it manually yt going to the address bar, clicking on it and pressing enter, or pressing F5. There should be a button you can click on to refresh or have it so every five seconds it's refreshing."
"The security does not have 100% authentication."
"The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing."
"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."
"Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Having a DLP integrated with the encryption engine would be very good."
"If it's possible, they should make all the features available because it's got a lot of features on offer, but you have to buy the license in order to add those features to the normal Endpoint. If they could make all those features available and/or offer a bundling option it would be better."
"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."
"I would like to see a support-cloud, where Sophos creates a single package that contains all of its products."
