In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue. It really has to do with the overall infrastructure and what the organization is prepared to do. If the infrastructure or the networking is a little hinky or you don't have a really finely tuned network infrastructure environment and your patches aren't up to date on your servers and your endpoints, it could get a little sticky. Other than that, it was okay. We really didn't have much problem beyond that. It took a couple of days to sort that out, but it was no big deal.

If you come with the perception that this solution uses the same policies that are used in traditional DLP products, you might find Code42 doesn't work for you. You have to adapt to their philosophy, which is a more open-ended solution. If you're looking at getting granular about a particular type of data, it becomes harder to put custom variables in there. Code42 is more open-ended and identifies or discovers data that is going out rather than having someone build a policy to filter for it. If you're willing to look at DLP and data leakage from a different perspective then I'd go with 42. I rate this solution eight out of 10.

Valuable Features

Code42 Incydr's ease of use is excellent, with continuous backup functionality. Its risk-scoring system is customizable, offering granular control. Incydr provides visibility for dispersed workforce activities, aiding in intellectual property and file exposure monitoring. Its small resource footprint is advantageous.

"Risk factors can be adjusted for all intricate details."
"There are a couple of things. One of them is that they have what they call Incydr. Their detection and response solution to the insider threat area is called Incydr. That gives visibility to the clients that have widely dispersed employee bases due to work from home, or that had a dispersed workforce predating any of the work from home requirements. Even though they might not be inside the organization physically, they're inside the organization. It allows us to get some visibility into what people are doing, what the context is, and how to control what might be the potential for intellectual property theft or file exposure."
"Code42 Next-Gen DLP is scalable."

Room for Improvement

Users suggest improving support for newcomers. Some experienced difficulty distributing the software organization-wide, which seemed more complex than described. The process sometimes became slow. Users also noted that Code42 Incydr's design differs from other DLP solutions, finding it limited in certain areas. Future updates could incorporate features from older systems and enhance support for data at rest.

"You can't always filter out data that you'd like to."
"In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue."
"What I think could be improved is how I get support."

ROI

Users found a significant return on investment from Code42 Incydr, highlighting its efficiency in mitigating data loss incidents and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.

Pricing

Code42 Incydr offers a transparent pricing structure without setup costs, ensuring a straightforward onboarding process for users. Pricing methods typically revolve around subscription-based models, accommodating per-user or per-device licensing options. The pricing range is adaptable, catering to organizations of varying sizes and security needs, providing comprehensive insider threat detection and response solutions.

"It was expensive. It was more expensive than Eureka, and it was more expensive than Barracuda Backup, but what we got was a full team. They didn't come in and nickel and dime us. They provided the assistance we needed. They didn't say that they need to charge us for something or it is going to take another statement of work. It was all bundled into it...We pay for the software maintenance. It is probably 18% or 20% of the license fee for rev releases."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."
"It used to be a good solution for SOHO in particular as it had unlimited storage for a reasonable price. However, their pricing model has changed and they are now primarily targeting enterprise users."
