Centralized management with full disk encryption and helpful authentification capabilities

They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly. They should also improve performance in encrypting and decrypting data more efficiently. A lot of machine resources are consumed; they should improve the audit area of the tool and make it more It is also efficient to add some type of remote access functionality for data recovery or integration with policy management tools. They must improve support and customer service, which is one of the factors where they have been failing the most in recent years.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides complete security for one's workstation."

"The encryption ensures each of our drives is not invasive and that the user does not have a bad experience even while the drive is being encrypted."

"It is a cross-platform tool."

"They have Disc Encryption, Anti-Malware, and a VPN Blade which is beneficial for us."

"End-to-end encryption provides full disk encryption, ensuring that all data on the device, including the operating system."

"This software has helped individuals in the organization avoid data loss."

"This encryption is relatively fast and really covers the needs required."

"Encryption prevents data loss which can cost the organization a lot of resources."

More Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade pros

"The setup process is straightforward."

"I like that Sophos SafeGuard provides excellent technical support."

"Integration with other solutions is one of its strongest points. It's very easy to integrate and automate."

"The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use."

"Policy deployment is easy and quick to do."

"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 tool is very safe, reliable, and fast."

"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."

More Sophos SafeGuard pros

Cons

"The encryption is fast; however, when it comes to generating decryption of the OS disks, it is sometimes very slow, generating a loss of time."

"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."

"You do need to be careful that you don't mess too much with the endpoint, or you might have issues with the work stations."

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

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

"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."

"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."

"Sophos SafeGuard cannot block or quarantine such viruses. Quarantine is a feature with shortcomings that needs improvement."

"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."

"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."

"The security does not have 100% authentication."

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

"The solution lacks direct connectivity to Azure AD."

"The solution's ability to integrate with other solutions, such as a DLP, should be addressed."

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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"Pricing for Sophos SafeGuard could be improved because it could reach a thousand dollars depending on the product, edition, and software key purchased."

"The pricing is reasonable."

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

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