Versatile with good patching and a straightforward setup
There is some fine-tuning needed, even once you define something. We need to do a lot of configuration. It would be easier if they made the configuration simpler, especially in the beginning. They need to give the user more choices and provide more guidance to help avoid problems later on. We'd like some more built-in predictive analytics so we can be prepared for what might happen in the future. We did have some bandwidth issues during setup. If your update fails, you may have stability issues. We find it difficult to reach higher levels of support when we face larger issues.

Enhancing data security with proactive protection and control
I've encountered some latency issues that appear to be related to the internet speed. When I install the agent on the laptop, the internet speed often drops from 100 MBPS to around 80 MBPS or even as low as 50 MBPS at times. The slow response seems to be connected to the fact that all network traffic is routed through this agent. The challenge arises when trying to analyze the logs, as every single click and action, even a single command in GitHub, generates a multitude of logs. This makes it difficult to extract relevant information. It would be helpful to implement filtering mechanisms so that we can sort and view the data based on software and vendor, providing more clarity and ease in analysis.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like about McAfee Total Protection is that it's working. I also like that it doesn't require any specific knowledge to set up."
"The ability to block all USBs from the McAfee portal has been great."
"The stability of the solution can be good. However, the configuration takes a long time for it to be done properly."
"The product provides us with an excellent, dependable solution to recommend to clients for their security needs."
"I am impressed with the tool's firewalls and web protection."
"The product is largely stable."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is strong data leak prevention for data protection."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution is the device control, which manages any portable device connected to the endpoint, and content-aware protection, which controls data in motion from the endpoint to outside, like when users try to upload data to a web browser or an instant messaging application."
"Its robust security audit and compliance functionalities prove especially beneficial for businesses in sectors like BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) and Information Technology."
"There are effectively two areas of DLP to look at from a technical perspective. One is how it performs the pickup of information traversing the system and the other is how the policy engine, which analyzes the data, works. On the first aspect, CoSoSys is probably best of breed for macOS because they're reasonably well-integrated into the operating system. They're looking at the file system operations level, not at the execution level."
"It is fantastic in terms of the granularity of the policies. It has many built-in policies, and we can add or create more policies as well. It is perfect, and it gives us more options. We have some users who go outside and then come inside. With EPP, we can even control those users who are outside. If they need to access the media that we are using right now, we can provide OTP messages so that they can access the media even when they are outside of their organization. With our previous solution, we were facing some issues in doing this."
"The console is friendly and it supports Mac."
"It is easy to manage the DLP between MacOS and Linux."
"The software is easy to use and the dashboard is intuitive."
"The search for keywords is very important in our security operations because one of the key use cases we had was for the ability to search keyword-based on an internal database of keywords that have been submitted by other project managers within the company that's around intellectual property. The ability to search on keywords was part of that."
 

Cons

"In my experience, it's not really user-friendly for me, in terms of how I navigate with the ePolicy Orchestrator. They need to upgrade their management console."
"We need to do a lot of configuration."
"The user interface is messy and could be simplified."
"The UI needs to be simplified."
"The solution needs to be a one-stop protection shop. And yet, the DLP isn't strong. Anyone can break it quite easily."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention could improve by having artificial intelligence."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention needs to improve the resources it uses for CPU and RAM."
"The interface can be improved, it's too cluttered."
"The reports and analysis could be improved. There could be a little more data, and the logs could be a little more granular, but it's nothing major. It does what it needs to do, and it's fine."
"We are using it to only apply media restrictions. When we are installing a new agent, we have to install EPP manually on a device. It would be great if the installations can be done from the server instead of me going to each PC or device to implement EPP or using a policy. They should have some sort of system so that a domain admin can install EPP on all PCs from a central manager."
"Sometimes, it should try to focus on one thing rather than multiple things. Endpoint Protector does device control very well, which is why we use that particular function."
"Because it is only an Endpoint Protector at this point in time, it does not have a network DLP component. There's only an endpoint DLP component. In the future, it would be good if a network DLP component could be embedded and extended to have network DLP capabilities."
"The only aspect that prevents it from being a perfect solution is the occasional slower response time."
"Customization could be a lot better."
"I have faced issues which shouldn't be related to this product. This product is purely a DLP, so it should only protect my data. I don't know what is happening with their agent or what is happening with the software, but it messes up my endpoint. For example, people are facing bandwidth issues. Before I deployed this on an endpoint, people were getting internet speeds of 40 or 50 Mbps. After deploying it, that would come down to 10 Mbps. And if I uninstalled the agent, it would go back to 50 Mbps."
"It needs to improve in terms of policy customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is high for this type of product."
"The price of McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is expensive. It is not the most expensive solution but it is typically 15 to 20 percent higher than other solutions. There is no additional cost to using McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"I'm paying the license for McAfee Total Protection yearly. It could be cheaper, but it's fine."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"The pricing seems expensive both for the license and the support."
"There is an annual license to use this solution."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is expensive."
"The product has average pricing."
"This solution was not too cheap or too expensive. But for the amount of features that they are offering, it was reasonable."
"For what it's doing, the cost is somewhat high for us, but it's the cost of doing business with the clients that we have."
"When I last renewed the license it was for a two-year term, and they gave me the second year at half price."
"It has a fair price. They just changed recently from perpetual licensing. When I bought it, I bought it on perpetual license, then they changed the whole company policy to go to subscription. It was a bit of a shock to us because we haven't upgraded it that many times. However, after speaking to CoSoSys directly, they gave us a very good renewal price."
"Pricing is quite reasonable. For smaller organizations, it lets them get into the product domain, whereas a lot of vendors won't even talk to them. CoSoSys is just about at that sweet spot of being serious enough that you have to budget for it, but at the same time, affordable enough that the value is well worth it."
"The pricing depends on the customers."
"The pricing is very competitive and is cheaper in comparison to that of other solutions. It makes it an easy decision to go with EPP for the data loss prevention infrastructure."
