Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Endpoint Encryption."The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats."
"The solution can block a virus attack and prevent it from moving across the system."
"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 user experience and the quality of the features are good."
"The solution can be easily connected and it is very secure."
"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."
"It's quite easy to integrate Safeguard with BitLocker"
"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 have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Disk encryption and file and folder encryption are the most valuable and used features. It is also very well integrated with Symantec Messaging Gateway and Symantec DLP, which is helpful in protecting any kind of information that goes outside. Symantec DLP catches an email and sends it to the encryption server. The encryption server encrypts the email and intimates to the user that confidential information is being sent out. The administrator can then take appropriate action."
"The solution’s installation was easy."
"The solution is great for large-scale deployments."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The best feature of Symantec Endpoint Encryption is the encryption itself. Encryption truly is the way to go because nowadays we are living in an era of widespread server threats, and you need to encrypt your emails and documents because you never know who might get hold of them."
"It is fairly stable."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Voltage SecureData Enterprise is the ease of configuration and the group services rest API."
"The number one feature I found was that the install was really easy, it was quite helpful."
"Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing."
"The product's next release could have integration features with different internal and external systems."
"An area for improvement in Sophos SafeGuard is the pricing. Pricing should be better when adding a new account or scaling the product."
"The solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"We would like some advanced security protection features."
"What I didn't find helpful in the version we used is the fact that all devices had to be on the same network for us to push through the encryption."
"I would like them to have integration with a wider range of non-Symantec products."
"The GUI could use some enhancement, particularly in making option sets easier to locate on client machines."
"I can only patch monthly. I don't know what the solution is there, besides being vulnerable for three weeks out of four. But there's got to be an option somehow."
"The solution does not have endpoint control."
"The agent can be improved on the solution. Right now, we have an Endpoint Protection agent as well as an encryption agent and another for the DLVs and other services. We would prefer a single agent for the entire product."
"There are other solutions in the market that have new features. The feature could improve."
"For a future release, the interface looks a bit dated and could be improved."
"Micro Focus Voltage SecureData Enterprise can improve the types of encryptions. They are limited by the number of types of encryption and types of masking they are allowing. In the solution that we were using, the illustration interface and the number of capabilities in terms of data masking were limited."
