Centralized management with full disk encryption and helpful authentification capabilities

They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly. They should also improve performance in encrypting and decrypting data more efficiently. A lot of machine resources are consumed; they should improve the audit area of the tool and make it more It is also efficient to add some type of remote access functionality for data recovery or integration with policy management tools. They must improve support and customer service, which is one of the factors where they have been failing the most in recent years.

Country Manager at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Has provided strong data protection capabilities while offering valuable policy customization options

I find unique value in McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention specifically in controlling the application from a DLP perspective; when a computer downloads a package, you can understand where it downloaded this package from, and you can create a policy regarding the source of the download. This is actually an important and valuable feature, specifically in enterprises where they download, upload, and export critical reports from their business applications. I appreciate the customized policy features in McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention because we didn't find these features in other competing applications. This may be a requirement from business customers who have important or critical applications; they expect to understand that these are critical files because this is a critical application. This cannot be done although we are with Trellix or McAfee solution.
