MehulSharma - PeerSpot reviewer
A cloud solution for endpoint security with DLP
We shared a datasheet with the customer. The customer mentioned that MDM or DLP is included in the product, but she cannot utilize these features in AP Protection, even though they are mentioned in the datasheet. This creates an issue recommending the product to the customer since she cannot use these features. Therefore, when updating your datasheet, clarifying which features apply to the customer's product use is crucial. This clarity is beneficial for both parties. I provide the solution on-premises, but we conduct the POC on the Azure platform. Additionally, we are partners with both Microsoft and AWS. This enables us to offer the AWS and Azure platforms, whichever the customer prefers. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights
There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.
