Danit Sannikov - PeerSpot reviewer
Project manager at SII
Can be well-integrated with the existing systems in a company and is very intuitive to use
I once faced a problem with the tool, but I remember that I managed to work without a VPN, and then the problem with the product was sorted out somehow. An option to connect not only with the username and password but also through SMS in an easy manner is something that needs to be added to the tool. When I changed the way I connect to the tool to the SMS option, I did it because I bought a new phone, and it had a problem connecting with the tool, after which I had to go to the settings to change it, so I felt it was not very intuitive. In other platforms, the user will have two options to connect, one of which is with a username and password, and the other one is with an SMS.

Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management
On a technical level, when I draw a comparison between McAfee Complete Data Protection and CrowdStrike, McAfee Complete Data Protection is a one out of ten, and then CrowdStrike is a ten out of ten. I say that technically McAfee Complete Data Protection is so low because the console and the portal haven't changed in almost ten years. It's had some slight visual improvements, but that's it. It's not really working in a modern portal the way that some of the enterprise apps like CrowdStrike actually work. McAfee Complete Data Protection is also very difficult to use. It takes a lot of time to get my head around how it actually operates. It's not very intuitive. However, in terms of pricing and the specific use cases that I have, it's good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We haven't had anything related to threats pass through our system in the last five years."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade is hard disk protection."
"It helps us maximize the operational efficiency and performance of our activities."
"We never had any complaints about the performance of computers with this tool to be able to manage the protection of disks and drives."
"We use the solution for endpoint encryption and it handles everything, with security, a firewall within the workstation, and DLP within the solution and on the workstation, making use of 360-degree security on one's workstation."
"The solution provides complete security for one's workstation."
"Its central management console has really made an impact on our organization."

"Complete Data Protection was necessary to meet advanced customer requirements."
"The console of the EDR is totally in the cloud."
"I got two products in one solution, so it is very efficient."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"It is capable of acting as Web control, Device Control, or Data Control."
"The server software console is exquisitely designed and organized for handy access and manipulation by the administrator."
"The most important feature of McAfee Complete Data Protection to my customers is the ePO or the management console. It's easy to use and it's scalable. You can also generate the reports you want on the console. It's a mature management console. The features that McAfee Complete Data Protection has, for example, anti-spam features and other features can also be found on other solutions, but the most unique feature you can find in the solution is the ePO itself, the management console."
"They offer very good accepted standards, the solution is compliant and offers good support, and they offer pretty good security due to their standards compliance."
 

Cons

"The price is high for small scale business enterprises."
"They could improve the latency in the platform when entering the portal."
"You do need to be careful that you don't mess too much with the endpoint, or you might have issues with the work stations."
"While the solution works as it should, it is overly expensive."
"The solution is overpriced."
"Regarding the general topic of support, many have annoyances with it."
"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."
"The tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device."
"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 UI could be improved a bit."
"We encountered several problems with the solution's stability."
"I think in looking at this as to how it can be improved, the drive encryption side is not as straightforward as it could be. It is a little bit heavy on the configuration part."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"Maybe a better GUI platform; that would make it easier to present information to management, so I would not need to fix the data before I present it."
"This solution does not do as well at protecting the end-user against unknown viruses."
"We are looking for more granular control over the policies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As it costs $125 per workstation per year, something which is above the price of what the competition is charging, the solution is definitely too expensive."
"I think the price could be a little bit less."
"We currently have a contract option with McAfee Complete Data Protection."
"The price is good, it's a low-cost solution."
"The solution is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"The price of this solution needs to be improved."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection is a little bit expensive."
"The pricing is quite reasonable compared to other vendors."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
