Micro-segmentation has transformed endpoint protection and now isolates internal threats effectively
Illumio can be improved in several areas based on our feedback. Sometimes, the PCE experiences slowness, especially when deploying around 300,000 endpoint devices. When these devices communicate within the network, loading the map or connections can cause latency, which needs improvement for a more user-friendly and faster experience. Regarding improvements to the interface, I believe we can add more features to the graphical user interface, such as proper logs. While the logs currently indicate what was blocked or allowed, clicking on a specific log should provide more information, such as which extra-scope rule is causing a denial, offering better analysis for troubleshooting.
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer

Offers DLP solutions with drive encryption, and application control
When installing McAfee ePO, we need to set up a self-check configuration. To join the system, we run a specific command. We configure connections for the data center, data server, and application server during this setup. Sometimes, we encounter communication issues between the database and application servers. These issues can prevent the database from communicating with ePO, leading to problems with updates and other functions. If the database cannot communicate with ePO, it affects our ability to manage configurations and updates, creating various issues. Additionally, roaming users outside the network must receive the latest signatures and updates. In a Citrix environment, a handler is configured to manage communication for these roaming users. However, we sometimes face issues with public and private IP configurations. Users may prefer to keep their IPs private, which can cause complications. For environments without Internet access, we use a DNS server to facilitate updates, which are managed locally. This type of configuration can be complex, but it's crucial for maintaining functionality without external network access. Trellix Embedded Control is a product used by companies in infrastructure development. The specific products and tools they use can vary based on their needs. DLP operates with devices, but network DLP is required for classification tasks. The choice of solutions depends on the organization's infrastructure and customer requirements, guiding the following implementation steps. Clients deploy the solution with their provider within one week.
