Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Sophos, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Endpoint Encryption."The most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks."
"With Sophos, I only need to generate the password and give that to a user to be able to allow them to login to the admin page of the Endpoint and do whatever they need to do. The user cannot go ahead and uninstall it. It's kept us much more secure because of this. Should any event happen on a particular system, I'm given the username and the system IP address. I get notifications and can deal with issues right away."
"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 is one of the best products when it comes to stability."
"I like that Sophos SafeGuard provides excellent technical support."
"The product is easy to use."
"SafeGuard's best feature is its stability."
"I like the support most of all."
"It is stable."
"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities."
"Its management is good, and it is also scalable and mostly stable."
"We find the dashboard, endpoint mobile encryption, and email encryption valuable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"You get updates and other encrypted files easily."
"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."
"One notable aspect is the ability to customize alerts and other settings."
"The Central Management server."
"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 integration could be a little better."
"Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Sophos SafeGuard cannot block or quarantine such viruses. Quarantine is a feature with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"There's no centralized management. This is a drawback."
"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."
"The solution lacks direct connectivity to Azure AD."
"The security does not have 100% authentication."
"I would like them to have integration with a wider range of non-Symantec products."
"It's difficult to integrate the solution with the DLP"
"The solution presently doesn't let network folder encryption be done on Macintosh."
"There are other solutions in the market that have new features. The feature could improve."
"If for example, a user forgets the endpoint key, they cannot access their data. We need a support team that is a single point of contact for the IT entity to be trained and to have documentation for troubleshooting and managing the solution."
"More features need to be included in the encryption software."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"There are some issues with the single sign-on with the active directory. We had a few problems related to the synchronization between the active directory and the login features of the Symantec products because the users made many password changes during the day. The time for synchronization with the solutions can be improved. I would like to see mobile encryption. There should be a possibility to include all the mobiles of a company in the console. Many customers are asking about encryptions for tablets or cell phones, but we don't have any product that we are comfortable with to recommend to our customers."
"MacOS X is missing features."
