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 features are the ability to prevent access to external devices, and also site blocking."
"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."
"We like that content-aware and device controls can easily be managed. They're not complicated. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand them."
"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 role-based access features for the teams that administer it is good."
"Endpoint Protector's best features are its protection and user-friendliness."
"The core of its value lies in obtaining logs remotely and exercising control over what employees can or cannot use."
"It is easy to manage the DLP between MacOS and Linux."
"The product’s most valuable features are inbound and outbound scanning and API control."
"The policies are very easy to implement."
"The product’s most valuable features are data discovery, activity control, and zero trust exchange."
"You can close your data protection gaps with Zscaler. You can quickly find all the classified, sensitive data across the cloud."
"The customer service and support are very good."
"The most valuable aspect of Zscaler Cloud DLP is its automatic DLP feature."
"On DLP terms, Zscaler Cloud DLP ensures that data doesn't go outside of the organization. So on the network level, Zscaler does a pretty good job."
"The in-line DLP feature is one of the most vital features"
 

Cons

"We are currently facing an issue where it is blocking the Winman software, which is something that we don't want to happen because we use it in our accounts department to pay taxes."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Endpoint Protector would be improved with more DLP templates."
"The only aspect that prevents it from being a perfect solution is the occasional slower response time."
"Customization could be a lot better."
"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."
"The tool must provide IP-blocking features."
"You won't find anything that can help you with the configuration part and other areas related to the product if you search for proper or exact details of Zscaler Cloud DLP online in very easy language."
"They should work on a replica account. There could be alerts and replica files sent to the DLP team during data collection."
"The only issue with Zscaler Cloud DLP is that it only gives you DLP protection from web traffic, which is flowing out, while a full-blown DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec gives you DLP coverage for multiple channels. Zscaler Cloud DLP doesn't give you coverage for email, fax, and USB channels, and this is the only challenge or room for improvement in the solution. It's just an extension on top of what you're buying on the proxy, so it's just an added layer, and it doesn't cover DLP on a very broad level. I'm unsure if Zcaler is in the business of competing with a full-blown DLP solution, and if there's a plan to expand the features of Zscaler Cloud DLP beyond the web channel because you'll have to deploy a full-blown agent for it. I'm unsure if this is on the cards because the solution is just an added layer that you get with your proxy. I've asked the Zcaler team whether there's a plan to go full DLP in the future, but I didn't get a positive response. There isn't any feature I'd like added to Zscaler Cloud DLP currently, because anything you could think of that should be in cloud or SaaS solutions is already there, except for machine learning, as it's the only functionality that seems to be lacking in the solution. Machine learning is an additional policy available in other DLP solutions in the market, but my team didn't find it in Zscaler Cloud DLP."
"There are some performance issues with the solution once the module addition begins"
"Another area of improvement is implementation through non-client connectors. The solution can be implemented in two ways. One uses the back file; the other one uses client connectors. So the client connector is pretty fast, but when it comes to non-client connectors and procedures, it's kind of delayed and slow."
"There aren't really any missing features that I have witnessed."
"The product must allow users to check logs for an entire year in the local console."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys is more or less the same as other competing solutions."
"The solution’s pricing is a normal industry standard and depends on customers and salespersons."
"The software comes with a higher price tag when compared to other DLP solutions."
"The minimum number of licenses they sell is 50 or 150 users."
"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."
"The pricing depends on the customers."
"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."
"This is a budget-friendly solution that covers all the aspects of host-level DLP."
"The licensing model for Zscaler Cloud DLP allows you to only buy what you need. You don't need to buy it as a whole, so it's good."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP is moderately priced. We pay around 2 million rupees per year."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"Zscaler DLP solution is expensive, with a fixed pricing structure that is billed annually and monthly. There are no additional costs for licenses."
"It's an affordable solution"
"It's expensive currently. But when purchasing for a large number of users, there's room to negotiate. It's really up to the procurement team."
"The product is a bit expensive."
"The product is a little more expensive than other tools."
