"The solution is excellent for protecting users from data being exploited. It's also great for preventing data leakage.""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.""It provides encryption, data protection, and DLP, all under one roof. The deployment, scalability, and reporting is too good. My clients are satisfied with the stability of the product. The solution is highly scalable. The technical support's response time and turnaround time as the solution provider are excellent. The availability of great back-end support and process support makes the product great. The initial setup is straightforward, with simple configurations. I recommend the solution.""The interface is very good. You can create and manage your own dashboard.""I am satisfied with the customer service/technical support.""With respect to data loss prevention, I think it is helpful to the customer.""In addition, it is easy to use, and you can define rules that protect the database beyond the built-in rules of the product. I found another purpose for the product besides the basic things that it does, protecting the database: privileged use, weak authentication, SQL injection and and database platform vulnerability.""It is part of the DLP and works well for that use case."

Cons
"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment.""The response time for technical support could be faster.""The tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device.""The tool is too expensive to be an add-on to the main solution. They could launch it independently so that costs can be lowered.""The price is high for small scale business enterprises.""I would like to bring centralized management to mobile devices.""There are a few cases of security breaches when the networking system fails and can lead to malware attacks. The next release should focus more on data virtualization and support for all computing devices.""The cost of maintaining the system is high for personal use."

"The price is a little high and could be better.""I would like to have an easier and less-hassle upgrade process in future releases of the software, and extra license renewal price discounts too.""The solution needs to reduce the number of false positives. There are too many of them.""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.""There was an option for SQL setup in the older versions of this product and it has been removed, but we would like to see it made available as an add-on.""There are some features that do not work with Mac.""There's a limited coverage of operating systems. The marketing strategies need to change drastically."

More McAfee Complete Data Protection Cons →

"The dashboards lack sufficient information.""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.""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.""The tutorials need to be simplified. The existing ones need to be easier to follow and we could use some tutorials for basic setups. They should aim to be more like Cisco, which offers very good tutorials and materials.""The solution lacks direct connectivity to Azure AD.""I would like to see a support-cloud, where Sophos creates a single package that contains all of its products.""The product is not cheap.""If it's possible, they should make all the features available because it's got a lot of features on offer, but you have to buy the license in order to add those features to the normal Endpoint. If they could make all those features available and/or offer a bundling option it would be better."

    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.
