Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 3, 2024

McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention and Netwrix Endpoint Protector both compete in the data security category. Netwrix Endpoint Protector seems to have the upper hand due to its device control, content-aware protection, and strong cross-platform support.

Features: McAfee focuses on intuitive deployment, effective USB blocking, and complete DLP capabilities. Netwrix emphasizes device control, content-aware protection, and zero-day macOS protection, supporting role-based access and hybrid environments.

Room for Improvement: McAfee users note issues with resource usage, complex GUI, and support. Enhanced processing efficiency, GUI design, and virtual desktop features are desired. Netwrix struggles with policy granularity and Linux support, with users wanting more customizable policies and consistent macOS features.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both McAfee and Netwrix are primarily on-premises, with McAfee being more adaptable to public clouds. McAfee's technical support has variable response times, while Netwrix offers reliable initial setup support but faces challenges in ongoing assistance.

Pricing and ROI: McAfee is generally more expensive with high licensing costs and additional charges for support, but users report mixed ROI. Netwrix offers budget-friendly pricing with satisfactory ROI, leaving room for pricing adjustments, especially with long-term or volume-based models.

Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Data protection has improved as we restrict uploads to third-party sites and control devices

We are using customizable policies in the product. Everything is fine regarding alerting and reporting features; we got a notification as well as we received the required events, and it is working well. McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is different; whatever the logs are there, they are available on the ePO, so we cannot directly integrate DLP to any third-party tool. We need to actually integrate the ePO itself to enable integration. We are just restricting data to be uploaded, which is the best option that allows us to control organizational data, making it the biggest benefit for us in McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention. We are protecting data to be uploaded on third party URLs, which helps us meet our needs.

Provides robust compliance with advanced threat protection and user-friendly interfaces

The features of Netwrix Endpoint Protector that I have found most valuable so far are the two main key modules which are Content Aware Protection (CAP) and Device Control (DC), which is the hottest selling item from my perspective as a consultant. I find CAP and DC valuable because they are very granular in nature and it's easily understood and easily configured. That's why it's easy for us to actually position this product to any organizations with no complications. My impression on the multi-layered protection features of this solution is quite positive because now they've expanded to more things in the DLP itself, that are as good as an enterprise DLP solution. Therefore, I feel that in terms of its pricing values and so on, it is very competitive. I assess the value of the comprehensive reporting and auditing capabilities provided by Netwrix Endpoint Protector as very good because I am a user myself prior to this, before becoming a reseller and now a distributor. I am actually a walking dictionary for this particular product. The comprehensive reporting and auditing capabilities are quite granular in terms of gaining insights. We can actually deep dive into quite a lot of things and find a lot of information that they already have. Assuming if there's a breach, we will be able to know exactly where the breach has occurred and what has occurred, and they are quite granular in how they report their information, including their logs. Therefore, they conform to all compliance regulatory bodies too. My impression of the centralized management console feature of Netwrix Endpoint Protector is that it is one of the simplest centralized monitoring features that even a kid would understand, which is what we need in today's world—nothing complicated. My impression of the data encryption and control over portable storage devices features of this solution is that they are very good, especially the device controls, which I really enjoy using, particularly when it comes to portable devices USBs and the encryption tools that they have, which is another module called E-lock, or enforce encryption, that they do have. They are well-protected along those lines.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it."

"The blocking feature is very good."

"Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."

"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."

"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."

"The capabilities of the software are strong enough for me to do what it's supposed to do. For me, we don't need to do a lot of configuration on our site. We just enable it and monitor it."

"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."

"The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks."

More Cloudflare One pros

"It can scale."

"Offers some good protection features."

"The ability to block all USBs from the McAfee portal has been great."

"Enables customization of file types and for different scenarios."

"The whitelisting works well."

"The stability of the solution can be good. However, the configuration takes a long time for it to be done properly."

"The most valuable feature is strong data leak prevention for data protection."

"The product provides us with an excellent, dependable solution to recommend to clients for their security needs."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention pros

"Endpoint Protector's best features are its protection and user-friendliness."

"I rate technical support as ten out of ten."

"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."

"I like the data protection feature. Our users were working on a client's CRM application with a lot of client-related EIA information. We did not want the users to be able to send any of this data outside. I also like its ability to protect against data leaks via emails and social media. I like that you can deploy it quickly, and it requires no training."

"The product is forward-looking, in my opinion, which is a requirement nowadays."

"Compared to a lot of the USB management systems out there, Endpoint Protector is the only one that comes with true USB management and the DLP side of it. I'm pretty impressed because I've used several solutions with DLP and USB management, and I've never seen granularity like this solution has."

"The most valuable features are Device Control, Content-Aware Protection, Enforced Encryption, and eDiscovery."

"The device control is a big deal for us because we can actually lock out removable drives and different types of hardware. It allows us to have better control over what end-users plug into their computers, and we can have deny lists and tighten our security posture."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pros

Cons

"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."

"Lacks a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."

"There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved."

"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."

More Cloudflare One cons

"The UI needs to be simplified."

"We have a shortage in integration capabilities with DRM solutions, such as Seclore, while it had been working before."

"We need to do a lot of configuration."

"The support from McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is good. However, if they provided 24 hours a day seven days a week support that would be a helpful addition."

"The solution needs to be a one-stop protection shop. And yet, the DLP isn't strong. Anyone can break it quite easily."

"I would like the solution to improve the AI features for anti-virus detection. I also want the software to include a tool for malware detection."

"Technical support doesn't really offer fast response times."

"There are a lot of vulnerabilities and viruses and malware can proliferate."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention cons

"In Linux, it is difficult to control uninstallation. Users can uninstall it at any time, and we can only monitor that it is uninstalled."

"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."

"In Linux a user can remove a getent anytime. There is no control there on the file structure in Linux. So if this solution could give us information on what users removed in the dashboard, it would help us."

"CoSoSys Endpoint Protector's network-level DLP and integration with mail servers need improvement."

"Endpoint Protector, in particular, had some features to be desired for the Mac operating system."

"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."

"One of the areas where there is room for improvement is support. It takes time for them to respond. They need to respond on time. Instead of sending an email, I think it would be very helpful to say, 'Let's set up a WebEx to see what's really going on,' instead of the back and forth of email."

"They have many predefined classifiers in terms of data identifiers, and they should improve this."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."

"The solution is not that expensive."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is expensive."

"I'm paying the license for McAfee Total Protection yearly. It could be cheaper, but it's fine."

"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."

"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive. We typically sell one and three-year licenses."

"The pricing seems expensive both for the license and the support."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention pricing and cost advice

"We have a limited budget for our media section. When we purchased it last year, we migrated from a different solution to this solution, and at that time, they told us that the cost will remain the same, but this year, they increased the price by 20% or something like that. I am not sure about the exact price, but let's say from 8,000, it increased to 10,000. It was a huge gap, and we couldn't bear this cost because we have a limited budget. When we spoke to them, they understood our problem and reduced it to the same price that we had last year."

"From what we've seen, their pricing is a lot lower than the other stuff we've looked at. I actually don't have any concerns with their pricing. They were probably the most reasonable company out there for the features that were offered. It was pretty straightforward in terms of licensing, and you just pay for the license."

"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."

"The price of Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys is more or less the same as other competing solutions."

"We found the pricing pretty attractive. However, volume-based pricing wasn't available."

"The minimum number of licenses they sell is 50 or 150 users."

"The pricing depends on the customers."

"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."
