NordLocker vs. Sophos Central Device Encryption

It is cheap enough and handles the very basic functionality we need from it fairly well. Since we can pay based on a per-user license and invite guests to lockers, it is far and away the cheapest option for End to End Encrypted file transfers from employees to HR/Management

We found the incorporated system of both AV and Encryption to be an absolute breath of fresh air for us. It is great for small and mid-sized companies. We rolled this out across our 4 global regions. We created region-specific groups for our endpoints and placed the appropriate endpoints into those groups. [Then] we defined policies for AV and Encryption that would be used inter-region and assigned roles to the different regions' support staff. Great stuff.

• Some of the features are 'coming soon'
• Different learning curve for our use case (vs SecNAS or SFTP)
• Confusing Master Password/Recovery Key/Access Key Scheme.

• 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

Its such an easy solution to manage. And the policy is literately only 3 item. Cant be easier than that

Cheap and able to scale based on number of users needed at a given time. Not locked into a fixed user contract. Most other services also don't actually have zero trust zero knowledge end to end encryption, or it requires stepping up to a more expensive enterprise version. Purpose built for our basic needs

Sophos is the best in the business when it comes to secure and compliant. I have a high level of peace of mind when offering this product to the clients where I am unsure of the competitors. Sophos is a brand I trust to keep clients safe
