Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management
On a technical level, when I draw a comparison between McAfee Complete Data Protection and CrowdStrike, McAfee Complete Data Protection is a one out of ten, and then CrowdStrike is a ten out of ten. I say that technically McAfee Complete Data Protection is so low because the console and the portal haven't changed in almost ten years. It's had some slight visual improvements, but that's it. It's not really working in a modern portal the way that some of the enterprise apps like CrowdStrike actually work. McAfee Complete Data Protection is also very difficult to use. It takes a lot of time to get my head around how it actually operates. It's not very intuitive. However, in terms of pricing and the specific use cases that I have, it's good.

Centralized encryption management has strengthened compliance and protects sensitive data daily
When deploying Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, we faced some issues where scanning was not happening properly, and the policies may not have been created properly, which is the reason it was not working. There could be improvements specifically about the scanning part and policy part where we have to deploy what we actually require. I would like to see features that include collaboration of all alerts and applied analytics so we can immediately identify issues. Analytics can provide immediate reporting before issues spread, as sometimes one issue captured at the site level can spread to high-level operations. If identified and communicated to the team immediately, it could prevent issues. Usually, downloading and reviewing the report takes too much time, and many engineers skip it due to the volume of tasks. However, analytics could generate alerts and ticketing if integrated with the EMS application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The beauty of McAfee is that they are not looking at encryption from one single standpoint. It is a broader solution."
"The solution is easy to deploy and manage"
"The console allows us to manage not only endpoint protection, but DLP, and also integration with MVISION Cloud."
"The most important feature of McAfee Complete Data Protection to my customers is the ePO or the management console. It's easy to use and it's scalable. You can also generate the reports you want on the console. It's a mature management console. The features that McAfee Complete Data Protection has, for example, anti-spam features and other features can also be found on other solutions, but the most unique feature you can find in the solution is the ePO itself, the management console."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"With proper policies and configuration, it prevents sending corporate data to both cloud storage or to flash drives and data extraction."
"It provides encryption, data protection, and DLP, all under one roof. The deployment, scalability, and reporting is too good. My clients are satisfied with the stability of the product. The solution is highly scalable. The technical support's response time and turnaround time as the solution provider are excellent. The availability of great back-end support and process support makes the product great. The initial setup is straightforward, with simple configurations. I recommend the solution."
"I am satisfied with the customer service/technical support."
"Encryption is the basic feature, and that is what I like about it. I also like that it is kind of easy to install and easy to configure."
"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."
"The disk encryption is great."
"Overall, I think that it's very interesting."
"The solution enables all the development and technical team members to work from home while, at the same time, ensuring the security of the work environment."
"The encryption is very good."
"Logging and reporting capabilities of Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption help with compliance verification, and there are no issues."
"It's a secure and quick solution."
 

Cons

"There are compatibility issues with the Chrome browser."
"As a new technology, it does need to grow."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"The solution needs more advanced features."
"The product must improve endpoint encryption."
"The UI could be improved a bit."
"The drive side encryption can be confusing to use and needs better documentation."
"There's a limited coverage of operating systems. The marketing strategies need to change drastically."
"There are scalability limitations. I'd rate scalability five out of ten."
"To improve Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, the user interface could be somewhat more friendly. It is already friendly, but it can not be approached through to the exact issue and just to give you the full detail of each and every port graphically."
"When deploying Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, we faced some issues where scanning was not happening properly, and the policies may not have been created properly, which is the reason it was not working."
"Should have more features of Deep Scanning"
"Integration and support could be improved."
"Compared to Bitlocker or McAfee Disk Encryption, it's not quite as robust."
"Support from them was not fast."
"I would like to see more integration. Good cloud-based solutions need to be arrayed. I'd like to see better integration with administrative tools as well as Active Directory integration."
