Controls and limits data transfers to enhance security but network traffic visibility needs improvement
DeviceLock has been problematic and not very effective for us so far, maybe due to configuration issues. It was already in place when I joined and wasn't performing well. We need more control over data, which DeviceLock hasn't provided yet. I remember they moved to Acronis from another company. There were features related to network traffic visibility, which could improve the DLP significantly. Other solutions already offer this kind of network visibility for data loss prevention. They are limited compared to before. Some features were removed from the current version. Policy management with DeviceLock was not very user-friendly. The IT team had to access two servers to make changes. The way the platform and solution are presented requires time to understand and get familiar with.

Distributors highly benefit from advanced data monitoring and seamless integration features
The Machine Learning capability could be improved, particularly in data discovery. When given sensitive data expressions, the system retrieves files that are not always related. The system should adhere strictly to the given expression rather than just focusing on keywords within the expression. In endpoint features, while the detection rate is good, there could be improvements in remediation and rollback solutions during attacks. Other solutions now include such options since providing 100% security is impossible. The flexibility varies across environments. Enterprise customers find the product performs well without affecting their data, with scans running as scheduled. However, SMB customers experience some performance issues during scanning. Since EDR is integrated, users must access the EDR console to check endpoint detections. It would be beneficial if this functionality were incorporated within the EPO console, as the current threat graphs link doesn't display endpoint threat graphs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most useful feature is the control and limiting of users sending documentation. It works with classification. When you classify your data, DeviceLock identifies it and, depending on your policy, can notify you where the data is going and who's using it."
"Trellix DLP has an agent that continuously scans the endpoint and sends the data to the portal. From there, it continuously leverages data from its threat intelligence."
"The support from both the vendor and Trellix is excellent."
"I rate the product an eight out of ten."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The solution is stable and does not have glitching issues."
"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do. It is fairly simple to use compared to Proofpoint."
"Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard."
"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."
 

Cons

"Policy management with DeviceLock was not very user-friendly."
"Coverage for Mac OS is lacking as features like clipboard and print protection don't function as expected. The agents often affect endpoint performance negatively and do not behave consistently across all machines."
"It's not very user-friendly for a beginner, so it would be easier if the platform or console were manageable or user-friendly. The dashboard could be simplified."
"Virtualization is complex and requires proper training. However, once you get trained, it is a very good product."
"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."
"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."
"The bugs need improvement."
"Trellix DLP can improve by addressing the lack of features such as deep drive DLP and email notifications present in other solutions like Forcepoint."
