Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Check Point GAiA is easy to use.""One of the characteristics that give us the most value is that it offers the ability to perform HTTPS inspections.""Full disk encryption helps us ensure that data stored on a device is encrypted.""At the time when this tool was launched on the market, it had new technologies integrated within."

More Check Point Pointsec [EOL] Pros →

"In the configuration, you can restrict a user from accessing a removable drive.""Reporting and encryption are its most valuable features.""I have found the USB part most valuable.""It is part of the DLP and works well for that use case.""I am satisfied with the customer service/technical support.""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.""The beauty of McAfee is that they are not looking at encryption from one single standpoint. It is a broader solution.""The console of the EDR is totally in the cloud."

Cons
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see application identity support.""We would maybe want (in the future) advanced security in the filtering of access to the metaverse by augmented reality cameras.""The installation was quite complex.""The UI was one of the most difficult points to get used to. Due to the UI, even though it was used every day, the administration was complicated."

More Check Point Pointsec [EOL] Cons →

"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.""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.""The product must improve endpoint encryption.""A better GUI platform would make it easier to present information to management; I would not need to fix the data before I present it.""Initial setup was complex.""The UI could be improved a bit.""We are looking for more granular control over the policies."

    Overview
    Information Not Available

    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.
