Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""With respect to data loss prevention, I think it is helpful to the customer.""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.""All of the Complete Data products are valuable.""The server software console is exquisitely designed and organized for handy access and manipulation by the administrator.""We can scale the solution.""The new feature for online protection does a good job of identifying traits.""With proper policies and configuration, it prevents sending corporate data to both cloud storage or to flash drives and data extraction."

"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 user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use.""It's quite easy to integrate Safeguard with BitLocker""It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues.""Security-wise, it's one of the best.""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.""The product filters phishing emails.""I like that Sophos SafeGuard provides excellent technical support."

"The Central Management server."

Cons
"I want simplicity. A new user opening the dashboard will be confused. It needs to be more user-friendly.""It is difficult to manage.""The solution needs a next generation or AI firewall that doesn't rely on signatures to detect traits.""The UI could be improved a bit.""There was an option for SQL setup in the older versions of this product and it has been removed, but we would like to see it made available as an add-on.""The price is a little high and could be better.""This solution does not do as well at protecting the end-user against unknown viruses.""They need to segregate McAfee Complete Data Protection for endpoints and servers."

More McAfee Complete Data Protection Cons →

"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 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.""Having a DLP integrated with the encryption engine would be very good.""Technical support could be a bit better.""The product is not cheap.""The solution lacks direct connectivity to Azure AD.""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.""The Office 360 integration could be improved."

    Overview

    Sensitive data is constantly at risk of loss, theft, and exposure. Many times, the data simply walks right out the front door on a laptop or USB device. Companies that suffer such a data loss risk serious consequences, including regulatory penalties, public disclosure, brand damage, customer distrust, and financial losses. According to a Ponemon Institute report, 7% of all corporate laptops will be lost or stolen sometime during their useful life. The rapid proliferation of mobile devices with large storage capacities and often internet access is opening up even more channels for data loss or theft, so protecting sensitive, proprietary, and personally identifiable information must be a top priority. McAfee Complete Data Protection Suites address all of these concerns and many more.

    Protect your confidential information and comply with regulatory mandates safely and securely with SafeGuard Enterprise, Utimaco's comprehensive modular information protection platform. SafeGuard Enterprise is a modular information protection control platform that enforces policy-based security for PCs and mobile devices across mixed environments. SafeGuard Enterprise offers full transparency to end-users and is easy to administer from a single central console.
    SecureDoc is used by some of the world's largest organizations. By simplifying data security we can help save time and reduce costs associated with security management. At the end of the day, we make data security easy.
