We performed a comparison between Avanan and CoSoSys Endpoint Protector 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."This technology is one of Check Point's acquisitions, and it is currently a powerful tool that provides all the protection that is not found in other tools."
"It can retract unsafe emails and remove them from the entire communication channel."
"Easy to use for non-technical users."
"The most valuable feature of Avanan is its Anti-Malware solution for Office 365, and box.com."
"Email encryption enhances end to end security of any data before it passes through the networking system."
"Email inspection has saved many employees from spam attacks and viruses from unauthorized sources."
"If we look at four to five years ago, we had close to six or eight people click a link in an email per month. Now, we are probably down to about five or six clicks a year, if not less."
"I highly recommend this solution to any prospective buyer."
"The most valuable features are the ability to prevent access to external devices, and also site blocking."
"The versatility regarding the exit point Endpoint Protector supports in making sure that important data doesn't leave our organization is vital for us. In the industry that we're in, data breaches are a significant concern. While our staff is contractually required to maintain confidentiality and they're all very aware that they shouldn't try and transfer company data of different classifications elsewhere to non-company devices, there's a risk."
"It is easy to manage the DLP between MacOS and Linux."
"The most valuable feature is device control."
"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."
"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."
"It is complicated for new users unfamiliar with the modern cloud networking infrastructure."
"They should come up with a mobile application so that it can be more flexible."
"The system could be designed to give corporate emails first priority due to demands."
"When sending bulky emails, the system slows down and takes a long time before it responds effectively to our requests."
"Integration with various SaaS offerings, who are leading in the SaaS market."
"There are times when we have false positives."
"Sometimes it seemed like the allow list wasn't working. I've created many allow list rules however, they still seem to be blocked; the same is true with the blocked list rules."
"The cost can be reviewed to enable SMEs to acquire it and enjoy great security features."
"Endpoint Protector would be improved with more DLP templates."
"This product provides zero-day protection for macOS, although I'm currently dealing with an issue on the most recent rollout of the Endpoint client that doesn't seem to be fully functioning."
"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."
"There are times when the server needs to be updated, and it would help if I got a notification for when the newest version comes out, because at the moment, I'm going in every now and then and checking. Sometimes it comes out and I didn't know it had come out."
"They have many predefined classifiers in terms of data identifiers, and they should improve this."
"In Linux a user can remove a getent anytime. There is no control there on the file structure in Linux. So if this solution could give us information on what users removed in the dashboard, it would help us."
"CoSoSys Endpoint Protector's network-level DLP and integration with mail servers need improvement."
