Encrypts the hard drive, offers data protection policies and effective part of DLP strategy
The only thing that I think could be improved is the data classifier. It's not a very robust classifier, which is where its limitation lies. For example, you see a lot of higher-end solutions where people can classify data more effectively, adding labels like transcription labels and such. McAfee’s classifier doesn't handle all those tasks. It doesn’t offer the same level of functionality as other data classification tools. You can't do things like fingerprinting and other advanced classification methods. However, if you were to make it more robust, the product could become too heavy to run effectively on endpoints and servers. So, to be honest, I can't think of anything else off the top of my head that could be added. I think it's a great solution as it stands. If anyone wants extended data classification, they can leverage other tools like Titus, Fortra's Classifier Suite (previously known as Boldon James Classifier), or even Microsoft AIP if they have the budget. You can also leverage Trellix to enhance your data protection. From my point of view, McAfee Complete Data Protection is one of the best solutions out there, if not the best, to be honest.

Effortless install, features rich, and scalable
The solution has helped with PCI compliance, masking, and encrypting PII information within our environment. What we found is that when we secured the information through encryption, we then were not scared of who was actually viewing the data. We wanted to know If we could still function as per normal, with this encrypted or masked data. The reason for this was we now know that it is real data that are encrypted, and because of the format, preserving encryption was easier to get it done. We did not have many different types of extra security features. Additionally, what we found was that from securing the perimeter of our environment with Micro Focus' voltage secure data, it does field-level encryption, which secured it one step even further. If we were breached from the perimeter, the data was actually still encrypted, which gave us an extra layer of security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The new feature for online protection does a good job of identifying traits."
"It is capable of acting as Web control, Device Control, or Data Control."
"With McAfee Complete Data Protection, you can managed all your security solutions from one single server and one interface. This might be the most powerful advantage of McAfee's solution."
"We can scale the solution."
"The McAfee Threat Protection and McAfee Web Protection are valuable aspects of the solution. They're better than other features that come with the endpoints."
"I have found the USB part most valuable."
"The solution is easy to deploy and manage"
"With proper policies and configuration, it prevents sending corporate data to both cloud storage or to flash drives and data extraction."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Voltage SecureData Enterprise is the ease of configuration and the group services rest API."
"The number one feature I found was that the install was really easy, it was quite helpful."
 

Cons

"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."
"The refresh feature needs improvement. You need to refresh it manually yt going to the address bar, clicking on it and pressing enter, or pressing F5. There should be a button you can click on to refresh or have it so every five seconds it's refreshing."
"There's a limited coverage of operating systems. The marketing strategies need to change drastically."
"I would like to have an easier and less-hassle upgrade process in future releases of the software, and extra license renewal price discounts too."
"The solution needs to reduce the number of false positives. There are too many of them."
"They could be better in terms of Complete Data Protection."
"There are compatibility issues with the Chrome browser."
"The product consumes too much RAM and CPU for its processing and this can lead to resource issues on PCs."
"For a future release, the interface looks a bit dated and could be improved."
"Micro Focus Voltage SecureData Enterprise can improve the types of encryptions. They are limited by the number of types of encryption and types of masking they are allowing. In the solution that we were using, the illustration interface and the number of capabilities in terms of data masking were limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution needs to be improved."
"I think the price could be a little bit less."
"The pricing is better than that of some competing products."
"The pricing of the cloud offering seems confusing."
"When it comes to pricing, I've observed an increase recently."
"The price is good, it's a low-cost solution."
"The solution is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the solution a seven."
"I found some of their licensing is a bit complex. I am also finding that some of their cloud solutions are quite expensive."
