Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the support most of all.""The solution can be easily connected and it is very secure.""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 advantage of Sophos SafeGuard stems from the fact that it is more secure than other products in the market.""It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues.""The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use.""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.""The setup process is straightforward."

"Endpoint can give you the full details about how the attacker moved into and through your system. That description shows you each and every step up to the cabinet-level.""Trend Micro provides good overall protection. It has saved us from a few attacks and malware.""The solution enables all the development and technical team members to work from home while, at the same time, ensuring the security of the work environment.""It's a secure and quick solution.""The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software.""We're very satisfied with Trend Micro support.""The disk encryption is great.""We use the solution for data encryption."

Cons
"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.""It's a good product, but some are not happy with the boot BCN, and the point-to-point VPN requires the best protection.""The Office 360 integration could be improved.""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.""If it's possible, they should make all the features available because it's got a lot of features on offer, but you have to buy the license in order to add those features to the normal Endpoint. If they could make all those features available and/or offer a bundling option it would be better.""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 security does not have 100% authentication.""It would be ideal if the solution had different features within one agent."

"Support from them was not fast.""I would like to improve the solution's support.""Compared to Bitlocker or McAfee Disk Encryption, it's not quite as robust.""The user interface is a little challenging, especially for beginners. It's hard for new users to understand how to configure the correct access for each company function.""It is not easy to integrate with third party solutions.""I would like to see more integration. Good cloud-based solutions need to be arrayed. I'd like to see better integration with administrative tools as well as Active Directory integration.""We would like to see a wider, better dashboard for the purposes of monitoring the users of the Trend Micro software.""We had to use an integrator for the implementation of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption. We have two people who work on this solution."
