What is a Value Score?

The Value Score indexes each vendor’s product offering and business strength relative to their price point. It does not indicate vendor ranking.

Vendors that score high offer more bang for the buck (e.g. features, usability, stability, etc.) than the average vendor, while the inverse is true for those that score lower.

Price-conscious enterprises may wish to give the Value Score more consideration than those who are more focused on specific vendor/product attributes.

Weight: You can adjust the weight to what is more important to you.

Progress Bars:
When both vendor and product weightings are equal to exactly 100%, your custom shortlist will be generated.

Your Challenge

While endpoint encryption has been around since the early 1990s, security leaders are catching up and just recently getting into the endpoint encryption game through a series of acquisitions. Check Point, McAfee, Sophos, Symantec, and Trend Micro all bought their way into the market.
With every vendor claiming they have the most comprehensive solution, it can be difficult to differentiate between solutions.
Most vendors now feature an endpoint encryption solution in their broad product portfolios; however, encryption may be only a small part of those portfolios so customers looking for dedicated product focus and support may want to put those considerations up front instead of making a selection based on a big name vendor.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

Endpoint Encryption solutions need to go beyond the basics. Breadth of platform coverage is a key factor in product evaluation in this space. A solution’s ability to integrate with a range of operating systems (Windows, Mac, BitLocker, and self-encrypting drives) is imperative to ease of deployment and use.
As devices and data become more mobile, protection needs to move with them. Endpoint encryption solutions must be able to encrypt data at rest and in transit, whether it’s through USB devices or managing the encryption on smartphones.
Price is a differentiator in this space. The highest price from the biggest vendor does not always equal the best product. Customers need to be diligent in their evaluation of vendor, product, and price to ensure they’re getting the best product for their price point, because affordable quality products are an option in this market.
