Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The server software console is exquisitely designed and organized for handy access and manipulation by the administrator.""I am satisfied with the customer service/technical support.""Complete Data Protection lets us define roles in our data products. It helps us identify something suspicious on the client's device.""The interface is user-friendly and it provides a large number of options.""The solution is excellent for protecting users from data being exploited. It's also great for preventing data leakage.""With proper policies and configuration, it prevents sending corporate data to both cloud storage or to flash drives and data extraction.""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.""Reporting and encryption are its most valuable features."

"The monitoring features are easy to use.""The Intercept X feature is the most valuable feature. You can't find this feature in other firewalls because Intercept X works as if it has an interaction between the endpoint and the firewall.""It's the best solution on the market.""The advantage of Sophos SafeGuard stems from the fact that it is more secure than other products in the market.""The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution.""It's easy to use. You have to pay extra for additional, but the basic product is fantastic. It will be a good solution for you, depending on your requirements.""The product filters phishing emails.""Integration with other solutions is one of its strongest points. It's very easy to integrate and automate."

Cons
"They need to segregate McAfee Complete Data Protection for endpoints and servers.""The product must improve endpoint encryption.""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.""There was an option for SQL setup in the older versions of this product and it has been removed, but we would like to see it made available as an add-on.""We encountered several problems with the solution's stability.""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.""The solution's pricing could be better.""This solution does not do as well at protecting the end-user against unknown viruses."

More McAfee Complete Data Protection Cons →

"Lacks GDPR regulations to enhance security.""The pricing is high for licensing and support and the GUI interface is good but could use updating.""In my experience, it's not really user-friendly for me, in terms of how I navigate with the ePolicy Orchestrator. They need to upgrade their management console.""The solution needs to be a one-stop protection shop. And yet, the DLP isn't strong. Anyone can break it quite easily.""Integration with other vendors could be improved. For example, with Chrome or Firefox.""The support from McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is good. However, if they provided 24 hours a day seven days a week support that would be a helpful addition.""McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention could improve by having artificial intelligence.""Our client is not very happy with the lack of support, the skills, and the effectiveness of the tool."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention Cons →

"The lack of need for the patch for an extra password is a shortcoming. It will be a great improvement if the patch requires an extra password so that they can find out how to synchronize your Windows password with the same password for Sophos SafeGuard.""The dashboards lack sufficient information.""You have to pay extra for some additional features, like data extraction. It would be nice if everything was available in one bundle.""There's no centralized management. This is a drawback.""Sometimes, multiple updates and crashes happen in the tool, making it an area where improvements are required.""What would make Sophos SafeGuard better than competitors is if its management console also includes firewall management. In the future, I want Sophos SafeGuard to be more scalable.""When you have the PPM chipset, you can have the power-on authentication, when you boot up your machine, you can set the six-digit passcode. As of right now, SafeGuard can't manage the six-digit passcode in terms of the expiration, and I need that added as a feature.""It just needs a little bit more on the reporting side. Its reporting can be improved a little bit in terms of being able to know that things are in the right status. I should be able to pull a report to make sure that everything is all right. It could also have cloud integration. At the time I was using it, it wasn't a cloud product."

    Overview

    Sensitive data is constantly at risk of loss, theft, and exposure. Many times, the data simply walks right out the front door on a laptop or USB device. Companies that suffer such a data loss risk serious consequences, including regulatory penalties, public disclosure, brand damage, customer distrust, and financial losses. According to a Ponemon Institute report, 7% of all corporate laptops will be lost or stolen sometime during their useful life. The rapid proliferation of mobile devices with large storage capacities and often internet access is opening up even more channels for data loss or theft, so protecting sensitive, proprietary, and personally identifiable information must be a top priority. McAfee Complete Data Protection Suites address all of these concerns and many more.

    McAfee Total Protection for Data solution suite protects your data using a combination of powerful encryption, access control, and user-behavior monitoring.
    Protect your confidential information and comply with regulatory mandates safely and securely with SafeGuard Enterprise, Utimaco's comprehensive modular information protection platform. SafeGuard Enterprise is a modular information protection control platform that enforces policy-based security for PCs and mobile devices across mixed environments. SafeGuard Enterprise offers full transparency to end-users and is easy to administer from a single central console.
