Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Encryption solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has a great VPN."
"The setup process is straightforward."
"The product is easy to use."
"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."
"SafeGuard's best feature is its stability."
"What I love most about Sophos SafeGuard is its user-friendly interface. My company has another software with a complex user interface versus Sophos SafeGuard, which is extremely easy to use."
"It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues."
"The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution."
"Its management is good, and it is also scalable and mostly stable."
"I like the solution for its encryption."
"In general terms, it is working properly and according to our expectations. The comfort of feeling secure is the most valuable. Some customers had certain fears about changing the product because no one wants to lose any kind of information or to have some problems or inconsistencies while migrating from one product to another."
"The solution is easy to use."
"You get updates and other encrypted files easily."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities."
"The security does not have 100% authentication."
"The dashboards lack sufficient information."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation with the endpoint logging, but it's a special feature that is quite complicated to explain."
"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."
"The solution lacks direct connectivity to Azure AD."
"Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required."
"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 product is not cheap."
"From an administration point of view, maybe it would be ideal to have it centrally managed."
"The solution does not have endpoint control."
"Its remote deployment should be improved. Currently, there is no remote deployment for Symantec Endpoint Encryption. You have to install it manually. There are some issues with AD integration and the time taken to reflect a password on the Endpoint Encryption Manager when a new user has changed the password, but they are already working on these issues, and these will be resolved in the next release."
"More features need to be included in the encryption software."
"There are some issues with the single sign-on with the active directory. We had a few problems related to the synchronization between the active directory and the login features of the Symantec products because the users made many password changes during the day. The time for synchronization with the solutions can be improved. I would like to see mobile encryption. There should be a possibility to include all the mobiles of a company in the console. Many customers are asking about encryptions for tablets or cell phones, but we don't have any product that we are comfortable with to recommend to our customers."
"The solution presently doesn't let network folder encryption be done on Macintosh."
"The instability of the company and lack of presence in the Middle East is affecting product use."
"I do not find the environment to be very user-friendly."
