We performed a comparison between CoSoSys Endpoint Protector and McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The core of its value lies in obtaining logs remotely and exercising control over what employees can or cannot use."
"I like the data protection feature. Our users were working on a client's CRM application with a lot of client-related EIA information. We did not want the users to be able to send any of this data outside. I also like its ability to protect against data leaks via emails and social media. I like that you can deploy it quickly, and it requires no training."
"There are a lot of features, but the main feature is that I can use a device serial number to unlock any particular machine or for all machines. If I have a phone, like a Samsung phone, I can whitelist that specific phone for full access wherever it is plugged into any of our devices. This is the same with a USB, because most USBs come in bulk and have the same serial number. I can then whitelist that particular USB to be read-write with full access."
"The device control is a big deal for us because we can actually lock out removable drives and different types of hardware. It allows us to have better control over what end-users plug into their computers, and we can have deny lists and tighten our security posture."
"It is fantastic in terms of the granularity of the policies. It has many built-in policies, and we can add or create more policies as well. It is perfect, and it gives us more options. We have some users who go outside and then come inside. With EPP, we can even control those users who are outside. If they need to access the media that we are using right now, we can provide OTP messages so that they can access the media even when they are outside of their organization. With our previous solution, we were facing some issues in doing this."
"The software is easy to use and the dashboard is intuitive."
"The most valuable features are Device Control, Content-Aware Protection, Enforced Encryption, and eDiscovery."
"There are effectively two areas of DLP to look at from a technical perspective. One is how it performs the pickup of information traversing the system and the other is how the policy engine, which analyzes the data, works. On the first aspect, CoSoSys is probably best of breed for macOS because they're reasonably well-integrated into the operating system. They're looking at the file system operations level, not at the execution level."
"Offers some good protection features."
"I am impressed with the tool's firewalls and web protection."
"You can manage your compliance in line with legislation such as GDPR and POPIA."
"The administrative capabilities and the interface make this product accessible and easy to use."
"Everything in this DLP is great. It"
"The solution is stable."
"The ability to block all USBs from the McAfee portal has been great."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is a very stable product."

"It would be helpful to implement filtering mechanisms so that we can sort and view the data based on software and vendor, providing more clarity and ease in analysis."
"I have faced issues which shouldn't be related to this product. This product is purely a DLP, so it should only protect my data. I don't know what is happening with their agent or what is happening with the software, but it messes up my endpoint. For example, people are facing bandwidth issues. Before I deployed this on an endpoint, people were getting internet speeds of 40 or 50 Mbps. After deploying it, that would come down to 10 Mbps. And if I uninstalled the agent, it would go back to 50 Mbps."
"Sometimes, it should try to focus on one thing rather than multiple things. Endpoint Protector does device control very well, which is why we use that particular function."
"I would like to see an alert feature that when a system is started, it checks to make sure that the client has the most up-to-date policies."
"They have many predefined classifiers in terms of data identifiers, and they should improve this."
"We are currently facing an issue where it is blocking the Winman software, which is something that we don't want to happen because we use it in our accounts department to pay taxes."
"Endpoint Protector would be improved with more DLP templates."
"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."
"The pricing is high for licensing and support and the GUI interface is good but could use updating."
"The product fails to offer automatic classification capabilities to its users."
"I would like the solution to improve the AI features for anti-virus detection. I also want the software to include a tool for malware detection."
"Lacks GDPR regulations to enhance security."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention could improve by making the customer aware of the benefits of the solution which would increase the adoption. Additionally, if there were features to suit multi-cloud environments it would be helpful. If the solution can intelligently identify which is important data for the organization and should not be released from the organization without authorization would be a benefit."
"Technical support doesn't really offer fast response times."
"The product uses a lot of resources and because of this it is not always a good solution for every situation."
"It could improve how it deals with solar data."
