Has a learning curve that is easy to deal with for users
With the tool, the learning curve is really good. I don't have to spend time in long training sessions, which is typically required for other platforms. As my company is a Microsoft kind of shop, we have developers, making the learning curve easy compared to other tools. When it comes to integration with the back-end systems, manufacturing companies are still using some other apps in their environment. Getting data or pushing those analytics data back to the back-end systems is relatively simple while using Azure Sphere and other integration points, and so that is why there is a clear direction from our company's end customer that they need an Azure solution.

Offers DLP solutions with drive encryption, and application control
When installing McAfee ePO, we need to set up a self-check configuration. To join the system, we run a specific command. We configure connections for the data center, data server, and application server during this setup. Sometimes, we encounter communication issues between the database and application servers. These issues can prevent the database from communicating with ePO, leading to problems with updates and other functions. If the database cannot communicate with ePO, it affects our ability to manage configurations and updates, creating various issues. Additionally, roaming users outside the network must receive the latest signatures and updates. In a Citrix environment, a handler is configured to manage communication for these roaming users. However, we sometimes face issues with public and private IP configurations. Users may prefer to keep their IPs private, which can cause complications. For environments without Internet access, we use a DNS server to facilitate updates, which are managed locally. This type of configuration can be complex, but it's crucial for maintaining functionality without external network access. Trellix Embedded Control is a product used by companies in infrastructure development. The specific products and tools they use can vary based on their needs. DLP operates with devices, but network DLP is required for classification tasks. The choice of solutions depends on the organization's infrastructure and customer requirements, guiding the following implementation steps. Clients deploy the solution with their provider within one week.
