Netwrix Endpoint Protector Reviews

We have a multi-platform environment, mainly Linux and Mac.

We installed a client in our client PCs and we have a management server in the same network. So we control the workstation through that management control, we mainly enable the Endpoint Protector function for blocking USBS and other physical ports, and we have some policies to restrict data passing from one PC to another PC. Those are the main features we are using.

Endpoint Protector almost fulfills our requirements; by 60%. Compared to other solutions we feel better with CoSoSys. 

We are a research center, so control is very important for us. We don't have any in-house solutions for Mac and Linux, so CoSoSys is a very important tool for us to control and ensure our internal security. This is a very important function.

During lockdown time we needed to deploy some new policies and rules. We faced problems all the time. We communicated with CoSoSys'  technical teams and we generated support tickets. They supported us as much as possible. During that period they helped us a lot.

Because we are using it for security purposes, there is no direct impact value, but it is saving our data. That is very important. It's almost like an insurance policy.

We are happy and satisfied with the solution. When we face any problem, we contact the CoSoSys technical team support directly and they support us as much as possible.

CoSoSys provides a single platform to support Windows, MacOS and Linux. We are using hybrid deployment docs, but we're only using Linux and a Mac, not Windows.

It manages the DLP. It is easy to manage the DLP between MacOS and Linux. This is very important for us because we don't have any sort of in-house solution for data collection for the Linux and Mac environment. We are fully dependent on CoSoSys.

We are not using encryption, because the encryption depends on the server and on many other things, which will cause us to face problems.

Additionally, it has granularity features to copy, paste, and do other things.

Between PCs, there is no control, but we are interested when data is transferred to outside the PCs. At those times we use CoSoSys. CoSoSys can control most of this part.

It has absolutely, 100% helped to reduce important data from going out of our organization.

Some CoSoSys features do need to be improved. For example, 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. If CoSoSys applied this sort of improvement, it would help us a lot.

We have been using Endpoint Protector for two to three years.

Endpoint Protector is a very stable product.

We manage it directly and when we face any issues, we directly contact CoSoSys. There is no third party. When purchasing we use a third party for payment and other purposes as it is overseas payment, so we can't pay directly.

We are licensing from a reseller, but all our support is directly through CoSoSys.

Right now we have about 400 developers using this solution, with one person managing it and one as backup. It does not require too much manpower to manage this team.

Their support is very good. We have had very good experiences with them.

They have been responsive and they're generally knowledgeable. They always support us when we request it.

The initial setup is simple, not complex.

The initial setup did not take much time. It is a very lightweight application and it runs very smoothly. It actually took less than half a minute to setup.

You just need to install and sync with the management service and it work in the background as an agent. It is automatically up and working in the background.

The first time we needed to configure and set up synchronization and the next times, for any changes we may need, we need to apply it in the server and sync with both of them.

Prior to deploying it, we had some strategies. We set our purpose, our policy, and then based on this policy, we deployed it.

We think the pricing is very reasonable.

We searched Digital Guardian and some other solutions. We found CoSoSys is the most suitable for us.

CoSoSys completely allows combined work in Windows, Linux, and Mac and the synchronization between server and client is very easy. In addition, creating exceptions is very easy in CoSoSys compared to other solutions.

I work in Samsung, so we have many subsidiaries all over the world. Gradually we are explaining to them that we are using this solution in Bangladesh and we are expecting more organizations in Samsung to use this solution.

We have a platform to communicate with each other and share our experiences. So if any offices in Samsung begin using this process it would allow us to develop these things for Samsung more closely.

On a scale of one to ten I would give Endpoint Protector an eight. Our experience using Endpoint Protector for security purposes is very good.

We have been implementing and designing solutions with CoSoSys as a part of the Host level DLP (Data leak prevention) solution. Our major cause is to provide a solution to protect data being leaked by their users, knowingly, via any application or software like web browsers, email, SaaS applications, drive, etc., or any hardware devices through MTP/PTP (mobile phones, wifi, USB, cd/floppy, printer, or ay such devices

We have successfully implemented this solution in multiple customer environments, PAN India.

We have implemented this solution for protecting our data that may be leaked by users for their personal use.

Our concern for data protection came into the picture during the pandemic phase (COVID-19), where users were performing critical business operations from their homes. At that moment, it was observed that data needs to be protected.

We were searching for data protection solutions on Google during the time, where Endpoint Protector popped up. We connected with their team, implemented the same in our environment initially for testing purposes, and then implemented it in our environment and then in our customer's network.

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

Device control is a module of CoSoSys EPP where we get granular rights and controls for protection of data getting leaked from any hardware devices like USB drives, Storage media, Wi-Fi, printers, etc.

Content-Aware Protection prevents users from uploading or sharing the data or files/documents with others through any application or software like web-browsers, email, file-sharing, or remote application software. It can even prevent users from taking and/or sharing screenshots or clipboard data.

Enforced Encryption is used when you want to have only permitted or restrictive devices connecting to user systems.

eDiscovery is another module where an IT admin can find a file/resource/path/folder present in a user's system.

As a host DLP solution, it has granular controls and features. It misses Network level DLP and SaaD DLP offerings. 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.

Various other products provide us a complete suite of solutions covering Host, Network, and SaaS aspects. Examples of these are Forcepoint and Digital Guardian.

I have been deploying and presenting this solution to multiple customers, since April 2020.

There are areas where CoSoSys supports more than other vendors do. For example, they offer support for Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms, which not all of the other vendors provide.

The initial setup and installation of the server were very simple.

We implemented in-house using the admin guide that was provided.

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