Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It works seamlessly as long as it's well configured and the policies have been put properly.""I don't need to have any interaction with this product, which means that it is very, very good, and it is doing its job.""The console of the EDR is totally in the cloud.""McAfee Complete Data Protection provides stability and is a good product.""It is part of the DLP and works well for that use case.""With McAfee Complete Data Protection, you can managed all your security solutions from one single server and one interface. This might be the most powerful advantage of McAfee's solution.""The server software console is exquisitely designed and organized for handy access and manipulation by the administrator.""The solution has a good interface."

"The user interface is simple, It makes it very easy to use.""It's a straightforward solution.""I like its ease of use the most. The management console is really nice. I like having one pane of glass that does everything. It does the Sophos anti-virus and encryption. Everything that you need is in one place. It is easy to use, and it is also pretty fast. It provides some pretty good details, and it lets you know who has access to a file. You can also add additional people to the encrypted documents, which is pretty good. Its stability and performance are also very good.""The monitoring features are easy to use.""The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats.""The user experience and the quality of the features are good.""I like the support most of all.""It's easy to use. You have to pay extra for additional, but the basic product is fantastic. It will be a good solution for you, depending on your requirements."

"The Central Management server."

Cons
"Some clients still receive spam and malware in their attachments, so the data protection isn't working correctly. We have configured it and enabled the features in the client's system, but some policies have failed to work once or twice.""I want simplicity. A new user opening the dashboard will be confused. It needs to be more user-friendly.""This solution does not do as well at protecting the end-user against unknown viruses.""The disk encryption can be improved.""In terms of where the solution could improve, it could integrate with network solutions for ADTs, email web gateways and discovery.""We encountered several problems with the solution's stability.""The product consumes too much RAM and CPU for its processing and this can lead to resource issues on PCs.""It is difficult to manage."

More McAfee Complete Data Protection Cons →

"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.""I would like to see a support-cloud, where Sophos creates a single package that contains all of its products.""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.""An area for improvement in Sophos SafeGuard is the pricing. Pricing should be better when adding a new account or scaling the product.""The dashboards lack sufficient information.""The product is not cheap.""Sophos SafeGuard is a German product. Sophos isn't really active in Europe. The Middle East, Africa, South Africa works with Sophos but their primary users aren't in Europe. They should market and push this solution to the European market.""It would be ideal if the solution had different features within one agent."

    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.

    Protect your confidential information and comply with regulatory mandates safely and securely with SafeGuard Enterprise, Utimaco's comprehensive modular information protection platform. SafeGuard Enterprise is a modular information protection control platform that enforces policy-based security for PCs and mobile devices across mixed environments. SafeGuard Enterprise offers full transparency to end-users and is easy to administer from a single central console.
    SecureDoc is used by some of the world's largest organizations. By simplifying data security we can help save time and reduce costs associated with security management. At the end of the day, we make data security easy.
