Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 3, 2024

Netwrix Endpoint Protector and Trellix DLP compete in the data loss prevention category. Trellix DLP seems to have the upper hand due to its integrated toolset and extensive feature set, offering a single console for endpoint security and additional enhancement features like AI/ML analytics.

Features: Netwrix Endpoint Protector provides Device Control, Content-Aware Protection, and role-based access, supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux. It offers granular policy management to prevent unauthorized data sharing and system access. Trellix DLP features comprehensive DLP capabilities and integration, providing a single console for endpoint security combined with AI/ML analytics, enhancing data protection efficiency.

Room for Improvement: Netwrix Endpoint Protector needs network-level DLP enhancements and more customization options, especially for Linux. Users report issues with installation on older systems and desire improved policy management. Trellix DLP lacks Linux compatibility and multiple architecture support. Its UI could be more user-friendly, and users request better encryption support in cloud solutions and quicker support response times.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Netwrix Endpoint Protector supports on-premises and public cloud solutions, excelling in diverse environments with strong customer support. However, improvements are needed in the installation process and support responsiveness. Trellix DLP also supports on-premises and hybrid cloud deployments, noted for ease of deployment but concerns exist over the heavy setup workload and the need for better customer service and communication.

Pricing and ROI: Netwrix Endpoint Protector is seen as budget-friendly with reasonable pricing, though some users noted unexpected price increases.

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.

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.

Users appreciate the intuitive management features and seamless integration with security frameworks

The most valuable features of Trellix DLP include data classification, the ability to define custom queries, creating custom dashboards based on our needs, and the ability to create tasks to update agents automatically and deploy them from a single management console. Trellix DLP's advanced reporting and analytical tools help our customers gain insights into data usage and potential vulnerabilities. Trellix DLP can be integrated with our LDAP Active Directory to get user information based on OU wise, and it also integrates with third-party SIEM solutions. The endpoint protection features of Trellix DLP are pretty good, offering signature-based detection and real-time scanning that helps identify threats or malicious applications in our system automatically based on predefined rules.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"Using Cloudflare One makes my work quite easy because for DDoS protection, all I need to do is understand the OSI model and click; it makes it easier than trying to write a command line or use a Linux command."

"Cloudflare Access is a stable solution."

"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."

"This solution is easy to understand and easy to configure."

"Cloudflare is simple to use."

"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."

More Cloudflare One pros

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

"Its robust security audit and compliance functionalities prove especially beneficial for businesses in sectors like BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) and Information Technology."

"In terms of the ease of deployment, the ease of management, and the ease of actually getting the basis of Endpoint Protector to move on, EPP is one of the easiest."

"One unique feature is drive encryption. We have portable devices, and they have a password vault. If you transfer any data to your device, you can use the password vault to protect it."

"The core of its value lies in obtaining logs remotely and exercising control over what employees can or cannot use."

"My advice for anybody who is considering this product is that it's user-friendly, and everyone can easily understand the details about how it works."

"The Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Netwrix Endpoint Protector product is one of the easiest DLPs that can be installed, and I think that we have successfully deployed many of these in the Asia Pacific region."

"ROI is very hard to quantify but Endpoint Protector is ultimately priceless."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pros

"Trellix DLP has an agent that continuously scans the endpoint and sends the data to the portal. From there, it continuously leverages data from its threat intelligence."

"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."

"The solution is stable and does not have glitching issues."

"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."

"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."

"I rate the product an eight out of ten."

"The best thing about Trellix DLP is its unified console that allows us to manage all products from endpoint protection to email protection, DLP, and many more, including SIM."

"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do. It is fairly simple to use compared to Proofpoint."

More Trellix DLP pros

Cons

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

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

"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."

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

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

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."

"The onboarding process can be improved a little bit."

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

More Cloudflare One cons

"Endpoint Protector would be improved with more DLP templates."

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

"It would be helpful if they offered discounted pricing for long-term contracts to serve customers who are interested in committing for periods of three years, five years, or longer."

"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."

"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."

"One of the areas where there is room for improvement is support. It takes time for them to respond."

"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."

"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."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector cons

"If I compare Trellix DLP with other solutions such as Forcepoint, Trellix DLP isn't up to the mark."

"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."

"The main challenge we face is with our on-premises Trellix DLP implementation. While we can push the agent, we cannot apply the policy on Azure systems."

"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies."

"Virtualization is complex and requires proper training. However, once you get trained, it is a very good product."

"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."

"During the initial setup of Trellix DLP, we faced challenges where the Trellix console buffers multiple times, taking time to reload when clicking on features, which needs improvement."

More Trellix DLP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The solution is not that expensive."

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

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

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

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

"[The pricing] is reasonable compared to what's out there."

"This is a budget-friendly solution that covers all the aspects of host-level DLP."

"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."

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

"The software comes with a higher price tag when compared to other DLP solutions."

"The pricing depends on the customers."

"When I last renewed the license it was for a two-year term, and they gave me the second year at half price."
