We frequently get asked how SafeNet/400 compares to our competitors. While we have not taken a very close look at the competition (we're too busy working on our own product), we have kept track of what our customers tell us about them. Here is a summary of what we've heard so far about some of the competition:
PentaSafe: Our customers tell us that they like SafeNet/400 because of its exclusive focus on the network security problems on the iSeries and AS/400. PentaSafe wants you to buy into this huge solution, but the real exposure on the AS/400 is network access controls. SafeNet/400 focuses where the need is very real, and it does so for a lot less money than PentaSafe.
PowerLock: Our customers tell us that PowerLock forces you to change your approach to OS/400 security. If the customer already has a lot of time invested in their OS/400 security setup, then PowerLock changes that. Also, our customers report to us that SafeNet/400 is a lot easier to administer. It is also our understanding the SafeNet/400 is more affordable.
We have also heard from a number of customers who report to us that our Customer Service is superior to that provided by our competitors. When issues come up with SafeNet/400, we respond quickly and to the point.
