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.

RC
Reliable and stable with the ability to encrypt external memory
The initial setup was very simple. We were migrating and we had to follow a guide. The installation guide was great. It was simple to follow, and, as long as we did, all we had to do was try out some tests. For the home environment, deployment took two or three days. However, if a company is going into production then it may take a bit more time. On the client-side, there will be a firewall, a server, and many other things in the environment to contend with. It may take five to ten days to deploy if you're talking about deploying on a production site. In house, we handled it, as I said, in two to three days. After installation, it requires about two to three engineers to handle the maintenance due to the production activity.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that Sophos SafeGuard provides excellent technical support."
"The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use."
"Sophos SafeGuard is very easy to implement, and the connection for remote users is beneficial."
"It has a feature that allows only three files to be encrypted by ransomware before it automatically revokes the process."
"It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues."
"The overall rating for the product is a ten out of ten."
"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 malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution."
More Sophos SafeGuard pros
"The solution is reliable and stable. You can edit it and it's flexible."
 

Cons

"The Office 360 integration could be improved."
"The dashboards lack sufficient information."
"Sometimes, when the product has a firmware upgrade, we encounter implementation problems, which can delay the connection and require a reset and reinstallation. It has been a persistent issue with Sophos SafeGuard."
"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."
"I cannot think of any improvements right now."
"The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing."
"An area for improvement in Sophos SafeGuard is the pricing. Pricing should be better when adding a new account or scaling the product."
"Sophos could improve transparency around licensing and renewal costs. Unexpected costs have arisen during license renewals, impacting our budget planning."
More Sophos SafeGuard cons
"The solution really needs to improve the data pile. With the pile, if we could also do a column-level encryption or something like third-level encryptions that would be great. It would be a slight variation of same product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The pricing is good and now they offer three year and five year plans. After that if one lokes the service they can choose the lifetime service."
"Regarding pricing, it's a middle-priced solution. We typically use Sophos SafeGuard with the Sophos firewall, which includes VPN connections. The cost depends on the number of users, with some customers requiring hundreds of connections and others needing around a thousand."
"I rate the pricing two or three on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"The platform is reasonably priced considering its functionality and adaptability. It is subscription-based."
"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."
"Pricing for Sophos SafeGuard could be improved because it could reach a thousand dollars depending on the product, edition, and software key purchased."
More Sophos SafeGuard pricing and cost advice
"I'm unsure of the exact pricing of the licensing, but I'd estimate we pay approximately $5-7,000. There are licensing as well as support costs and other ancillary fees."
