Re: Suggstions on PDA Security Software

Hey,

I've tried some software solutions for that.
Utimaco has SafeGuard Easy which is good, it has an average central
management and it works well. The only problem is the deployment cost,
you have to install on every machine.
The other product I tried is SafeBoot from Control Break. I liked the
software and it has a good central management, although I read some
comments of deployment problems and bad external directory integration
but I haven't tested it that thoroughly.
The solution I'm watching right now is Credant's solution. It has a
wonderful gui for installation and management and it integrates with
everything (from windows machines, palos, blackberries, and so on).
The installation process is much more difficult than the other
products but I'm loving the product.
If anyone has any experience with these products, I would like to hear
from you :)

best regards

Hello -

I've been looking for a PDA security software solution, but I'm having a
horrible time and I'm hoping someone might be able to give some suggestions
on different products.  My requirements are pretty minimal:

* Data Encryption
* Screen Locking
* Data Wipe
* Central Management
* Single solution for PalmOS and Windows Mobile

I've tried PDA Defense, but ran into a nasty bug that the techs couldn't fix
and they just stopped communicating. I tried contacting their sales team a
few days ago and got bounces saying the email accounts aren't working...

I've also tried Trust Digital, but the cost is way too high for my budget.
Plus they only give demo versions to larger organizations (I'm only looking
to secure around 20 devices).

TealSoft was really nice, but no Windows Mobile support.

Can anyone else suggest other vendors?

Thanks
-Joe
