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."Endpoint Protector's best features are its protection and user-friendliness."
"The console is friendly and it supports Mac."
"The software is easy to use and the dashboard is intuitive."
"All of the features are effective, but the highlight feature of the product was the data layer inspection. When we talk about a DLP product, data packet inspection is very important. Securing data at rest is easy, but securing data in transit is challenging. We used it comprehensively to secure end drives, data transfers, secure hard drives, and end-user machines. It proved monumental in our operations."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the ability to prevent access to external devices, and also site blocking."
"The core of its value lies in obtaining logs remotely and exercising control over what employees can or cannot use."
"One unique feature is drive encryption. We have portable devices, and they have a password vault. If you transfer any data to your device, you can use the password vault to protect it."
"Offers some good protection features."
"The most valuable feature is strong data leak prevention for data protection."
"The solution is stable."
"It can scale."
"The ability to block all USBs from the McAfee portal has been great."
"You can manage your compliance in line with legislation such as GDPR and POPIA."
"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 pricing of the product is excellent. It's very affordable."

"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."
"The reports and analysis could be improved. There could be a little more data, and the logs could be a little more granular, but it's nothing major. It does what it needs to do, and it's fine."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"When you want to uninstall and reinstall, there are a lot of issues. You have to do a lot of workarounds to reinstall Endpoint Protector. This is a major issue that we have constantly because we still have old systems with XP. While there are only very few, we need to run them because there are machines attached that only run on XP. When we need to uninstall and reinstall on XP or Windows 10, we have serious issues left in the Registry Editor everywhere. There is a lot of manual interference to get the reinstallation to work. For the uninstallation of Endpoint Protector, they need to work on this so it doesn't leave any leftovers behind."
"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."
"The policy engine could use a bit of work. They're definitely going in the right direction. We've been working with them over the last few weeks to try and optimize that. But it's reasonably clear that they're just not putting as much effort into the policy engine as into other things, like content discovery."
"The pricing is high for licensing and support and the GUI interface is good but could use updating."
"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."
"McAfee needs to clarify its rules."
"We faced many issues with the solution's customer support, and it should be made customer-friendly and more responsive."
"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."
"The UI needs to be simplified."
"Integration with other vendors could be improved. For example, with Chrome or Firefox."
"The product uses a lot of resources and because of this it is not always a good solution for every situation."
