"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 tool focuses on endpoints rather than networks. Endpoints cover everything. It wouldn't be possible to steal confidential information from endpoints.""Everything in this DLP is great. It""The stability of the solution can be good. However, the configuration takes a long time for it to be done properly.""The solution is stable.""The most valuable feature is the ability to control access to USB drives and other external devices.""I am impressed with the tool's firewalls and web protection.""Offers some good protection features."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention Pros →

Cons
"This solution does not do as well at protecting the end-user against unknown viruses.""The disk encryption can be improved.""Though there may be some ransomware detection modules now in McAfee Complete Data Protection, it's a field that McAfee should focus on, particularly having integration with some EDR or other add-ons. This is so McAfee Complete Data Protection would have more accuracy in detecting new ransomware in the market. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for its pricing to be more cost-effective because some competitors have cheaper pricing, so McAfee Complete Data Protection can't compete. Sometimes, some new vendors offer other solutions rather than McAfee Complete Data Protection, to win customers over, and this is a loss for McAfee.""There are compatibility issues with the Chrome browser.""There are some features that do not work with Mac.""The solution needs a next generation or AI firewall that doesn't rely on signatures to detect traits.""They could be better in terms of Complete Data Protection.""The solution's pricing could be better."

More McAfee Complete Data Protection Cons →

"It could improve how it deals with solar data.""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.""McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention needs to improve the resources it uses for CPU and RAM.""McAfee needs to clarify its rules.""The UI needs to be simplified.""When this solution is used it requires a lot of administration because the users can have difficulties using it and require assistance. The administrators are continuously modifying the policies for the users. Technical support will be used frequently.""There needs to be support for blocking the sending of files by email because even if you block or remove an external disk, the files are not protected.""The pricing is high for licensing and support and the GUI interface is good but could use updating."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention Cons →

"In the next release, I would like to see more automation with the endpoint logging, but it's a special feature that is quite complicated to explain.""Sophos SafeGuard cannot block or quarantine such viruses. Quarantine is a feature with shortcomings that needs improvement.""There are times that this solution takes up too much memory that needs to be resolved. If it is not fixed it will definitely create issues in the future.""As a tool, Sophos SafeGuard is not optimized.""The lack of need for the patch for an extra password is a shortcoming. It will be a great improvement if the patch requires an extra password so that they can find out how to synchronize your Windows password with the same password for Sophos SafeGuard.""I would like to see a support-cloud, where Sophos creates a single package that contains all of its products.""What would make Sophos SafeGuard better than competitors is if its management console also includes firewall management. In the future, I want Sophos SafeGuard to be more scalable.""The integration could be a little better."

    Overview

    Sensitive data is constantly at risk of loss, theft, and exposure. Many times, the data simply walks right out the front door on a laptop or USB device. Companies that suffer such a data loss risk serious consequences, including regulatory penalties, public disclosure, brand damage, customer distrust, and financial losses. According to a Ponemon Institute report, 7% of all corporate laptops will be lost or stolen sometime during their useful life. The rapid proliferation of mobile devices with large storage capacities and often internet access is opening up even more channels for data loss or theft, so protecting sensitive, proprietary, and personally identifiable information must be a top priority. McAfee Complete Data Protection Suites address all of these concerns and many more.

    McAfee Total Protection for Data solution suite protects your data using a combination of powerful encryption, access control, and user-behavior monitoring.

SafeGuard Enterprise is a modular information protection control platform that enforces policy-based security for PCs and mobile devices across mixed environments.
