Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, McAfee, Sophos and others in Endpoint Encryption."The solution is excellent for protecting users from data being exploited. It's also great for preventing data leakage."
"The McAfee Threat Protection and McAfee Web Protection are valuable aspects of the solution. They're better than other features that come with the endpoints."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"The solution has a good interface."
"With proper policies and configuration, it prevents sending corporate data to both cloud storage or to flash drives and data extraction."
"In addition, it is easy to use, and you can define rules that protect the database beyond the built-in rules of the product. I found another purpose for the product besides the basic things that it does, protecting the database: privileged use, weak authentication, SQL injection and and database platform vulnerability."
"With this solution, the device control is more reliable and more stable."
"The console of the EDR is totally in the cloud."
"I like the support most of all."
"The solution can be easily connected and it is very secure."
"It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues."
"The solution has a great VPN."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks."
"The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"You get updates and other encrypted files easily."
"I like the solution for its encryption."
"The installation process is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the messaging features and shared folders."
"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities."
"The encryption feature is very good."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The solution needs more advanced features."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"Though there may be some ransomware detection modules now in McAfee Complete Data Protection, it's a field that McAfee should focus on, particularly having integration with some EDR or other add-ons. This is so McAfee Complete Data Protection would have more accuracy in detecting new ransomware in the market. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for its pricing to be more cost-effective because some competitors have cheaper pricing, so McAfee Complete Data Protection can't compete. Sometimes, some new vendors offer other solutions rather than McAfee Complete Data Protection, to win customers over, and this is a loss for McAfee."
"The product must improve endpoint encryption."
"We encountered several problems with the solution's stability."
"The product consumes too much RAM and CPU for its processing and this can lead to resource issues on PCs."
"There's a limited coverage of operating systems. The marketing strategies need to change drastically."
"The drive side encryption can be confusing to use and needs better documentation."
"It would be ideal if the solution had different features within one agent."
"Having a DLP integrated with the encryption engine would be very good."
"The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing."
"An area for improvement in Sophos SafeGuard is the pricing. Pricing should be better when adding a new account or scaling the product."
"I would like to see a support-cloud, where Sophos creates a single package that contains all of its products."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"The solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed."
"Once you lock a server, you won't be able to install or put something on that particular server, but on the PC or machines, the lockdown feature is not there, and it is a query our company raised when we had to provide details for Sophos' review."
"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."
"The security could be improved."
"I do not find the environment to be very user-friendly."
"Symantec Endpoint Encryption can improve by being more secure."
"The UI could be improved."
"More features need to be included in the encryption software."
"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."
"I would like them to have integration with a wider range of non-Symantec products."
