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Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management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 solution is pretty reliable."
"Its central management console has really made an impact on our organization."
"It keeps the devices well monitored."
"The solution provides complete security for one's workstation."
"They have Disc Encryption, Anti-Malware, and a VPN Blade which is beneficial for us."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is security."
"Complete Data Protection was necessary to meet advanced customer requirements."
"The console allows us to manage not only endpoint protection, but DLP, and also integration with MVISION Cloud."
"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."
"I'd recommend the solution."
"It provides encryption, data protection, and DLP, all under one roof. The deployment, scalability, and reporting is too good. My clients are satisfied with the stability of the product. The solution is highly scalable. The technical support's response time and turnaround time as the solution provider are excellent. The availability of great back-end support and process support makes the product great. The initial setup is straightforward, with simple configurations. I recommend the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the unified management console, ePO."
"By configuring policies, you can ensure that sensitive data is not shared with unauthorized individuals."
 

Cons

"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."
"They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly."
"Regarding the general topic of support, many have annoyances with it."
"The price is high for small scale business enterprises."
"The response time for technical support could be faster."
"They could improve the latency in the platform when entering the portal."
"I would like to bring centralized management to mobile devices."
"The tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device."
"We are looking for more granular control over the policies."
"Though there may be some ransomware detection modules now in McAfee Complete Data Protection, it's a field that McAfee should focus on, particularly having integration with some EDR or other add-ons. This is so McAfee Complete Data Protection would have more accuracy in detecting new ransomware in the market. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for its pricing to be more cost-effective because some competitors have cheaper pricing, so McAfee Complete Data Protection can't compete. Sometimes, some new vendors offer other solutions rather than McAfee Complete Data Protection, to win customers over, and this is a loss for McAfee."
"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."
"We encountered several problems with the solution's stability."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly"
"They could be better in terms of Complete Data Protection."
"For USB protection, the stability has been very poor, actually, over the past year."
"I want simplicity. A new user opening the dashboard will be confused. It needs to be more user-friendly."
 

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."
"We currently have a contract option with McAfee Complete Data Protection."
"The pricing is quite reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The pricing of the cloud offering seems confusing."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the solution a seven."
"The solution is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"I think the price could be a little bit less."
"When it comes to pricing, I've observed an increase recently."
"The cost of McAfee Complete Data Protection isn't that high but isn't that cheap as well, so it's in the middle."
