Apparently, Secure Folder is essentially an iteration of the existing Samsung My KNOX app. Secure Folder does offer some additional features (and also removes a couple, oddly), but if you have a recent Samsung device, I'd suggest checking out My KNOX as well - you'll get similar functionality and presumably the same great security benefits.
The biggest thing to note about My KNOX is that once activated and installed, it can't be removed. Just a friendly warning.Edit: Turns out it can be removed, but it has to be via the Play Store or the My KNOX website - it shows as unable to uninstall from the app manager for some reason, though.
Earlier this year, when the Galaxy S7 launched, it was loaded with something Samsung called "Private Mode." Private is, frankly, kind of lame - you can use it to secure sensitive files, photos, or voice recordings using Samsung's stock applications for those functions. I can see a use, sure, but this is a pretty limited sort of feature.
