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Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management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

"Above all, the possibility of keeping our data safe by placing a unique digital signature for each device we will encrypt, informing us of any unauthorized changes, is one of the most valuable features."
"Check Point gives us the possibility of reaching each security goal we have and has been a strategic ally for our internal assurance and the security of our information within the organization."
"They have Disc Encryption, Anti-Malware, and a VPN Blade which is beneficial for us."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade is hard disk protection."
"We never had any complaints about the performance of computers with this tool to be able to manage the protection of disks and drives."
"The encryption ensures each of our drives is not invasive and that the user does not have a bad experience even while the drive is being encrypted."
"It is a cross-platform tool."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The console allows us to manage not only endpoint protection, but DLP, and also integration with MVISION Cloud."
"The solution is easy to deploy and manage"
"The new feature for online protection does a good job of identifying traits."
"It is part of the DLP and works well for that use case."
"The product is excellent, however, it is very complex to implement from scratch, therefore, it’s good to have a partner that can assist you and help you with the setup."
"With this solution, the device control is more reliable and more stable."
"The server software console is exquisitely designed and organized for handy access and manipulation by the administrator."
"The classification front-end and the features for the endpoint are great aspects of the product, it works absolutely fine for the customer requirements, it's user-friendly and easy to navigate, the initial setup is very easy, technical support is very helpful, the stability is good, and the product can scale."
 

Cons

"The price is high for small scale business enterprises."
"They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly."
"The solution is overpriced."
"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."
"They could improve the latency in the platform when entering the portal."
"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."
"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 the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."
"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 full set of features are enabled only for Windows. There are some features that do not work with Mac."
"They need to segregate McAfee Complete Data Protection for endpoints and servers."
"The disk encryption can be improved."
"They could be better in terms of Complete Data Protection."
"This solution does not do as well at protecting the end-user against unknown viruses."
"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."
"The solution needs more advanced features."
 

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."
"The price is good, it's a low-cost solution."
"The cost of McAfee Complete Data Protection isn't that high but isn't that cheap as well, so it's in the middle."
"The solution is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection is a little bit expensive."
"I think the price could be a little bit less."
"When it comes to pricing, I've observed an increase recently."
