Can be well-integrated with the existing systems in a company and is very intuitive to use

I once faced a problem with the tool, but I remember that I managed to work without a VPN, and then the problem with the product was sorted out somehow. An option to connect not only with the username and password but also through SMS in an easy manner is something that needs to be added to the tool. When I changed the way I connect to the tool to the SMS option, I did it because I bought a new phone, and it had a problem connecting with the tool, after which I had to go to the settings to change it, so I felt it was not very intuitive. In other platforms, the user will have two options to connect, one of which is with a username and password, and the other one is with an SMS.

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.

"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.

Cons

"While the solution works as it should, it is overly expensive."

"There are a few cases of security breaches when the networking system fails and can lead to malware attacks. The next release should focus more on data virtualization and support for all computing devices."

"The cost of maintaining the system is high for personal use."

"They could improve the latency in the platform when entering the portal."

"They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly."

"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."

"The tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device."

"Regarding the general topic of support, many have annoyances with it."

More Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade cons

"As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized."

"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."

"You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle."

"There are times that this solution takes up too much memory that needs to be resolved. If it is not fixed it will definitely create issues in the future."

"It would be ideal if the solution had different features within one agent."

"The product's next release could have integration features with different internal and external systems."

"The tutorials need to be simplified. The existing ones need to be easier to follow and we could use some tutorials for basic setups. They should aim to be more like Cisco, which offers very good tutorials and materials."

"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."

More Sophos SafeGuard cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As it costs $125 per workstation per year, something which is above the price of what the competition is charging, the solution is definitely too expensive."

"Licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing could be better."

"We used it for three years. It costs about 1000 ZAR. Maintenance was part of it, so we don't have extra cost. On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the solution's pricing a three."

"There is a need to make annual payments towards the licensing charges attached to the product."

"It's a software license with a one-time purchase. There are no issues with purchasing, and the vendor is flexible with licensing."

"The platform is reasonably priced considering its functionality and adaptability. It is subscription-based."

"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."

"Licensing for this solution is on a yearly basis."
