Dell Data Protection | Encryption Enterprise Edition (DDPE) vs. Sophos Central Device Encryption

DDPE is great if you want very specific data encrypted and managed. It's flexible in terms of configuration but also can be quite a pain to get configured right. It requires a lot of exclusions and does not play nice with Windows Updates. Usually the client needs to be updated before updates on Windows can be installed and sometimes a new version is no where in sight. The ATP is great but also requires extensive configurations as otherwise it has way too many false positives.

It is mid-level when it comes to running it by a non-IT person. I have no technical/IT training and can figure out on my own (or with a little web search) how to do most tasks. It may not be best for the very tech-challenged operator.

• Silent installation/uninstallation. It was very easy to deploy and remove the software remotely.
• Transparent to users. Users did not see messages from the software or notice performance issues during encryption.
• File or disk level encryption. Includes the option to do file or full-disk encryption to meet your organization's needs.

• Interface is a little difficult to get Hands On. It can be simplified for better adaptability
• XDR compatibility should be enhanced
• More simplified white-books should be provided to train the non tech teams
• Commercially also the cost should be improved for different industry segments

I am pretty satisfied with Sophos Central Device Encryption's overall capabilities. It is easy to implement and ultimately brings more peace of mind because fewer tickets are generated. As a result, security within the organization is also improved. Another significant advantage is that you can quickly see the statuses in real time on the dashboards. This gives you a better overview and reduces the chance of missing minor security settings.

We switched to McAfee Endpoint Encryption, which provides full-disk encryption. We saw fewer issues with McAfee Endpoint Encryption full-disk encryption than Credant full-disk encryption.

At that time, we chose Sophos based on the reputation and our partnership with our partner. And in general Sophos could give us more benefit than other competitors with the similar solution. However we do not feel comfortable to disclose information about comparison with other solutions. Despite that, we think Sophos could deliver our requirements very well with the cost that were reasonable for us.

• It's had a positive impact as it's allowed us to effectively secure hard drives with bitlocker encryption
• A larger part of our work force works from home, and Sophos can be deployed remotely and will start encryption almost straight away on any computer that isn't already encrypted.
