Symantec Endpoint Encryption vs WinMagic SecureDoc comparison

"The most valuable feature is that it works in the background so that the end-users are not aware of what is happening on the laptop."

"Overall Symantec Endpoint Encryption is a reasonable solution."

"We use it for protecting accounts, which is its most valuable feature."

"This product is a solid, all-in-one solution for enterprise data management."

"You get updates and other encrypted files easily."

"We have been very satisfied with the solution's security capabilities."

"The solution was used to find harmful files and viruses on laptops."

"I like the solution for its encryption."

"The Central Management server."

"The instability of the company and lack of presence in the Middle East is affecting product use."

"The product can be expensive. Price was a factor in moving away from the product."

"If for example, a user forgets the endpoint key, they cannot access their data. We need a support team that is a single point of contact for the IT entity to be trained and to have documentation for troubleshooting and managing the solution."

"It was hard to install and took us about three months."

"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 UI could be improved."

"What I didn't find helpful in the version we used is the fact that all devices had to be on the same network for us to push through the encryption."

"The program's disk encryption is not very friendly with Microsoft OS updates. We have a problem with updates failing unless we use a time-consuming work-around."

"MacOS X is missing features."

"Symantec Endpoint Encryption is not expensive."

"Depending on how many modules you will use (up to five) the licensing will be more expensive."

"They have two solutions for encryption including Symantec Endpoint Encryption and PGP Endpoint Encryption. With one PGP license, you can deploy the two solutions. The PGP license gives you two options."

"Considering the fluctuation in exchange rates in our part of the world, we find it generally affordable."

"The licensing costs yearly are $5000."

"The cost of this solution is a little on the higher side."

"Although the performance and stability of this solution are good, our challenge is the price tag. You buy the solution once, but you also have to keep on buying the licenses yearly."

"The license is not very expensive."

"Licensing and pricing is on par with the market."
