Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The initial setup process was easy."

"This solution has a rich set of policies."

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

"It can scale."

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

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

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention pros

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

"The versatility regarding the exit point Endpoint Protector supports in making sure that important data doesn't leave our organization is vital for us. In the industry that we're in, data breaches are a significant concern. While our staff is contractually required to maintain confidentiality and they're all very aware that they shouldn't try and transfer company data of different classifications elsewhere to non-company devices, there's a risk."

"The interface is pretty user-friendly, neatly explained, and simple to use."

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

"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to support Linux operating systems."

"The most valuable features are the ability to prevent access to external devices, and also site blocking."

"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."

"It also provides us with the ability to lock down a wide variety of USB devices, which is pretty important because we don't want certain data accessed. It does a really good job when it comes to the versatility of the exit points it supports, making sure that important data does not leave our organization."

Cons

"The interface can be improved, it's too cluttered."

"The solution takes up too much CPU and memory."

"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention needs to improve the resources it uses for CPU and RAM."

"We need to do a lot of configuration."

"We faced many issues with the solution's customer support, and it should be made customer-friendly and more responsive."

"Lacks GDPR regulations to enhance security."

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

"The licensing cost for McAfee Total Protection could be cheaper, but apart from that, I don't need anything else. The software has what I need."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention cons

"It would be better if they had an inbound restriction feature. For example, I work out of my home from my personal computer. All my policies can be deployed while working. When I am done, I should be able to use my machine as my personal machine, and all these policies should be waived. In the next release, I want time bound restriction of the policies because most of these users were working out of home and using their personal computers."

"If CoSoSys comes up with a suite of Host DLP, along with Network DLP and SaaS DLP, it will cover all of the aspects of a DLP solution."

"I would like to see an alert feature that when a system is started, it checks to make sure that the client has the most up-to-date policies."

"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."

"The only aspect that prevents it from being a perfect solution is the occasional slower response time."

"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."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license to use this solution."

"The price is high for this type of product."

"The price of the solution could improve."

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

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

"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."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

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

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

"The product has average pricing."

"The solution’s pricing is a normal industry standard and depends on customers and salespersons."

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

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

"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."

"I don't have any issue with the licensing and pricing. I would love for it to be cheaper, but at the same time I'm getting a lot from it."

"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."

"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."
