SGN Product Enhancement Suggestions

vojta

Might be a good idea to star this list early so it's in early. My wishlist

- Better AD synchronization (automated, configurable schedule, and built into MC)

- "Policy for a slider" - meaning give user the option via policy to control how fast they want to encrypt the HD. Of course if this policy is disable user cannot control that (aka today's status). Giving the users a little power will simplify the deployment of such invasive product

- Better policy stamping on the client. Today you can see "Last Received" but that's misleading as policy might not have been changed for long before that. I would rather see a hashmark or some kind of name where I could match the server policy name with the client (the date should be in the name)

    hello all :)

    We've been using SG for a few years now, we noticed on laptops that the disk performance is quite limited after installing the SG Client and the HDD has been encrypted. With Antivirus running in the background it's safe to say the I/O of the HDD is kept busy.

    We did a few tests to see how we could boost performance of the system; I configured two laptops, one with a HDD , one with an SSD; both running XP. When both systems are unencrypted the performance of the SSD powered laptop is about 3x-5x higher compared to the HDD one.

    So that's good news, but as soon both laptops are encrypted the performance advantage is completely lost; when the HDD/SSD is encrypted the bottleneck becomes the encryption software.

    Have you guys tested SSDs yet, are their plans to optimise the SG encryption software to profit from the extra performance available with SSDs ?
