Protects user data and offers data control and has an easy deployment
The most valuable feature is encryption control. If you have a laptop, it guarantees that the data is not missing or lost. It’s easy to deploy and has a central console where you can see whether the laptops are encrypted, updated, and protected. It protects devices, including USB and other external devices, and guarantees data loss protection. Additionally, with device control, you can ensure that no ransomware is introduced into the network. For me, this is of very high value.
Sampath Acharya - PeerSpot reviewer
Full disk encryption safeguards data effectively and customer service provides excellent support
There weren't too many challenges with the setup. The initial setup is a little bit difficult as it requires skill. A person without the necessary experience or skill cannot handle it. Overall, I'd rate the implementation process seven out of ten. Deployment times vary depending on customer enrollment. If there are more than 100 machines, it might take 45 to 60 days.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the support most of all."
"The tool is very safe, reliable, and fast."
"The intrusion detection system."
"Integration with other solutions is one of its strongest points. It's very easy to integrate and automate."
"Security-wise, it's one of the best."
"The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats."
"The product filters phishing emails."
"The platform has significantly enhanced our data security posture by ensuring that sensitive information remains encrypted and protected from unauthorized access."
"Encryption is the basic feature, and that is what I like about it. I also like that it is kind of easy to install and easy to configure."
"Trend Micro provides good overall protection. It has saved us from a few attacks and malware."
"The disk encryption is great."
"Overall, I think that it's very interesting."
"Offers very good endpoint security solutions."
"The solution is good overall. All of its features are good."
"Fast encryption feature."
"It's a secure and quick solution."
 

Cons

"The product is not cheap."
"It's a good product, but some are not happy with the boot BCN, and the point-to-point VPN requires the best protection."
"You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle."
"The solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier to understand for new users."
"The security does not have 100% authentication."
"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 dashboards lack sufficient information."
"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."
"To improve Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, the user interface could be somewhat more friendly. It is already friendly, but it can not be approached through to the exact issue and just to give you the full detail of each and every port graphically."
"Should have more features of Deep Scanning"
"If Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption comes up with a SaaS solution, it will be better rather than just having an on-premises solution."
"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."
"Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption currently lacks something similar to a firewall that can detect any vulnerabilities."
"It would be great if this solution had support for file integrity monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a yearly license with Sophos which is around $1000-$1200 or so per annum. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"Licensing for this solution is on a yearly basis."
"It would be great if the price of the solution was lower than the current price. If we are to sell this particular solution to smaller businesses and not just enterprise businesses it needs to be lower."
"The licensing costs depend on the series. For example, XG 85 can be around $200. If you go to ACC or to a four or five-year enterprise solution, you will find these devices can cost $10,000. It depends on the series."
"There is a need to make annual payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"I rate Sophos SafeGuard's pricing a five out of ten."
"Pricing for Sophos SafeGuard should be transparent. If you want to get support for Sophos SafeGuard, you don't get pricing information about support costs, and in the end, you'll get charged more."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"You have to pay for the license annually."
"One of the reasons we decided to go with Trend Micro Endpoint Security is because of its cost effectiveness."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
