Encrypts the hard drive, offers data protection policies and effective part of DLP strategy
The only thing that I think could be improved is the data classifier. It's not a very robust classifier, which is where its limitation lies. For example, you see a lot of higher-end solutions where people can classify data more effectively, adding labels like transcription labels and such. McAfee’s classifier doesn't handle all those tasks. It doesn’t offer the same level of functionality as other data classification tools. You can't do things like fingerprinting and other advanced classification methods. However, if you were to make it more robust, the product could become too heavy to run effectively on endpoints and servers. So, to be honest, I can't think of anything else off the top of my head that could be added. I think it's a great solution as it stands. If anyone wants extended data classification, they can leverage other tools like Titus, Fortra's Classifier Suite (previously known as Boldon James Classifier), or even Microsoft AIP if they have the budget. You can also leverage Trellix to enhance your data protection. From my point of view, McAfee Complete Data Protection is one of the best solutions out there, if not the best, to be honest.

Though it provides good endpoint security, there is a need to improve scalability
I don't have any idea about the implementation part because the tool was configured in my company's infrastructure. When I joined the organization, everything was configured. Currently, I am involved in the endpoint management and control. My company uses the product for the endpoints in our company so that it offers protection against viruses and other malicious activities. My company operates as a service provider, owing to which we deal with multiple clients and their data, which are stored in a PDF format. My company also provides applications to our clients. There are different types of data that my company protects from malicious activities and ransomware attacks. The most beneficial part of the product for our company's security needs stems from the fact that it offers an agentless service, which makes it better to manage our endpoint devices. I am not the right person to speak about how the full disc encryption capability of Trend Micro has impacted our data protection strategies since I am not the right person to provide any information about it. I am a system engineer who manages virtualization tools like VMware. There is a separate team for endpoint management in my organization. Speaking about the user experience and management console of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, I would say that the product offers a very unique GUI. The unique GUI of the tool makes it possible to easily use the management console for some tasks, like creating and downloading reports. There is a separate team with six to seven engineers in my company to manage the troubleshooting part of endpoint solutions. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The product is easy to use. The product is useful in the area of ePO reporting. It is very easy to create general reports with the product. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"McAfee Complete Data Protection provides stability and is a good product."
"It is part of the DLP and works well for that use case."
"It worked for me: it's easy to use and has been very effective."
"The interface is user-friendly and it provides a large number of options."
"The beauty of McAfee is that they are not looking at encryption from one single standpoint. It is a broader solution."
"The console allows us to manage not only endpoint protection, but DLP, and also integration with MVISION Cloud."
"Reporting and encryption are its most valuable features."
"It works seamlessly as long as it's well configured and the policies have been put properly."
"It's a secure and quick solution."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption is security."
"Endpoint can give you the full details about how the attacker moved into and through your system. That description shows you each and every step up to the cabinet-level."
"We're very satisfied with Trend Micro support."
"The disk encryption is great."
"The most valuable feature is the support for email."
"Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption has good performance and is secure."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy, considering the management console and software."
 

Cons

"The drive side encryption can be confusing to use and needs better documentation."
"The only thing that I think could be improved is the data classifier."
"Though there may be some ransomware detection modules now in McAfee Complete Data Protection, it's a field that McAfee should focus on, particularly having integration with some EDR or other add-ons. This is so McAfee Complete Data Protection would have more accuracy in detecting new ransomware in the market. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for its pricing to be more cost-effective because some competitors have cheaper pricing, so McAfee Complete Data Protection can't compete. Sometimes, some new vendors offer other solutions rather than McAfee Complete Data Protection, to win customers over, and this is a loss for McAfee."
"Some clients still receive spam and malware in their attachments, so the data protection isn't working correctly. We have configured it and enabled the features in the client's system, but some policies have failed to work once or twice."
"The product must improve endpoint encryption."
"There was an option for SQL setup in the older versions of this product and it has been removed, but we would like to see it made available as an add-on."
"The price is a little high and could be better."
"There's a limited coverage of operating systems. The marketing strategies need to change drastically."
"It would be great if this solution had support for file integrity monitoring."
"We would like to see a wider, better dashboard for the purposes of monitoring the users of the Trend Micro software."
"Should have more features of Deep Scanning"
"I would like to improve the solution's support."
"Compared to Bitlocker or McAfee Disk Encryption, it's not quite as robust."
"The user interface is a little challenging, especially for beginners. It's hard for new users to understand how to configure the correct access for each company function."
"There are recovery issues that arise."
"It is not easy to integrate with third party solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the cloud offering seems confusing."
"I think the price could be a little bit less."
"The price of this solution needs to be improved."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The pricing is better than that of some competing products."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the solution a seven."
"The cost of McAfee Complete Data Protection isn't that high but isn't that cheap as well, so it's in the middle."
"The solution is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"We pay for Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption every six months. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"One of the reasons we decided to go with Trend Micro Endpoint Security is because of its cost effectiveness."
"The drive encryption of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption could improve. Some of my customers have some problems."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly."
"You have to pay for the license annually."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
