"An effective method of encrytion, but bad if computers are frequently reimaged."
Of the encryption methods we've tried, securedoc is certainly the hardest to get around.

What do you dislike about WinMagic?

Whenever we need to reimage a computer, we dread the ones that are secure doc'ed, because even though our reimaging methods are secure and erase all computer drives, our imaging process (via IPV4/PXE) can't get through secure doc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WinMagic?

After reviewing several tools for full disk encryption, landed on WinMagic's SecureDoc as it has very competetive price and is loaded with lot of features.

As a company policy we have to secure all laptops and mobile devices so that it can fulfill the international standard security features and we were looking for a user friendly tool which comes in our budget.

overwhelmed by the performance, ease of use, and level of security your product provided. The centralized management really makes a difference Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinMagic?

One of my network person installed a different OS on a pre-boot encrypted hard disk only to find that it has to be first decrypted using WinMagic tool. The data is lost forever even after consulting the customer care. One way it is good that my pre-boot encryption is working like a gym; at the same time it would be great to handle this kind of human errors as an Administrator.

The system is designed for enterprise use and would really want to see it for individual usage also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WinMagic:

SecureDoc's sector based encryption is smart. It sits at the lowest level and intercepts all requests to read and write to the disk, so the entire disk is encrypted and no sectors are missed. With strong, trusted encryption algorithms, SecureDoc has a clean design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WinMagic solving and how is that benefiting you?

Price, Functionality, User Friendliness and meeting privacy requirements.

WinMagic provides intelligent key management for everything encryption, with robust, manageable and easy-to-use data security solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WinMagic?

I like the ease of management and deployment. I also like that I don't have to license and use enterprise editions of windows. It also works across multiple platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinMagic?

The implementation service is an additional charge. Also there needs to be more wireless drivers supported for the pre-boot environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WinMagic:

Make sure you get the right licenses that need. A dedicate server is best as the product uses a lot of ports and services. Purchase the integration service as it is well worth the money all though I do believe this should be included with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WinMagic solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to make sure data was encrypted so that if mobile workstations or mobile phones were lost or stolen no data could be compromised. We have realized a great deal of control and assurance that the data will always be safe and regulations can be met. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
