We performed a comparison between Microsoft BitLocker, OpenText Connected MX, and Sophos SafeGuard based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Mobile Data Protection."The solution has a feature that automatically asks the users to upgrade their password once we set up the process."
"It is easy to implement and has AD integration."
"The most valuable feature is the authentication process which is very fast."
"The tool has improved the starting up of our notebooks and end-user devices."
"Microsoft BitLocker can be used to ensure that stolen PCs or laptops do not lose their data."
"We have not seen any bugs or glitches, so the stability is good."
"Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable feature is endpoint encryption, and it's quite easy to manage."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"The integration features are the most valuable. The integration is specific to each solution. It works well with SQL and Oracle databases and so on."
"It's quite easy to integrate Safeguard with BitLocker"
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the GUI is easy to use."
"The Intercept X feature is the most valuable feature. You can't find this feature in other firewalls because Intercept X works as if it has an interaction between the endpoint and the firewall."
"The solution has a great VPN."
"The product filters phishing emails."
"The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use."
"What I love most about Sophos SafeGuard is its user-friendly interface. My company has another software with a complex user interface versus Sophos SafeGuard, which is extremely easy to use."
"The monitoring features are easy to use."
"User profiles can be improved so that people can create their own passwords. It has one password per machine, which is a problem. We would prefer each user to have his or her own boot password. Each user can have a username and password or biometrics, such as fingerprints and iris scanner, integrated into the boot process, but I really can't see that coming anytime soon, if ever."
"The solution could be improved if it was more user friendly."
"The management of the product could be made a little easier."
"The implementation of BitLocker is not simple. There are many prerequisites and hours of study and testing."
"If the encryption was faster then it would make the experience more pleasant."
"The biggest one for us is revoking access. So, even though someone downloads something to a device, we want the ability to cloak that device or data and bring it back or make that data unusable for that person. Currently, BitLocker doesn't give us that ability. It basically encrypts it. We're seeing if identity management or IAM allows us to do that. We're kind of looking at third-party software that does that for us."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"At the end of it all, we are looking for something that can be easier to manage."
"On the exchange server, you do not have the best options for adjusting your mailbox. This feature is not included. Also, disaster recovery backups can be improved. Some other solutions, such as HP Data Protector, have more features."
"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."
"The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing."
"Having a DLP integrated with the encryption engine would be very good."
"You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle."
"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."
"It would be ideal if the solution had different features within one agent."
"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."
