Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management
On a technical level, when I draw a comparison between McAfee Complete Data Protection and CrowdStrike, McAfee Complete Data Protection is a one out of ten, and then CrowdStrike is a ten out of ten. I say that technically McAfee Complete Data Protection is so low because the console and the portal haven't changed in almost ten years. It's had some slight visual improvements, but that's it. It's not really working in a modern portal the way that some of the enterprise apps like CrowdStrike actually work. McAfee Complete Data Protection is also very difficult to use. It takes a lot of time to get my head around how it actually operates. It's not very intuitive. However, in terms of pricing and the specific use cases that I have, it's good.

Manager at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Good support, stable, and offers encryption at both the column and table level
The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables. We are also getting the benefit of detection data. If I want to share data with another Oracle user then the data sharing is automatically detected. We don't need to modify anything. This is a complete security solution and all of the features that we are using are available off the shelf.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is part of the DLP and works well for that use case."
"The disk encryption is great."
"Complete Data Protection was necessary to meet advanced customer requirements."
"I'd recommend the solution."
"In addition, it is easy to use, and you can define rules that protect the database beyond the built-in rules of the product. I found another purpose for the product besides the basic things that it does, protecting the database: privileged use, weak authentication, SQL injection and and database platform vulnerability."
"They offer very good accepted standards, the solution is compliant and offers good support, and they offer pretty good security due to their standards compliance."
"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."
"All of the Complete Data products are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables."
"Overall, it is a good solution and I can recommend it to anybody who wants to encrypt columnar data and protect it against theft."
"The features that are the most used by the customers and partners are, at the moment, for GDPR, so obviously data encryption and data reduction. Our customers also like the partitioning option."
 

Cons

"As a new technology, it does need to grow."
"I think in looking at this as to how it can be improved, the drive encryption side is not as straightforward as it could be. It is a little bit heavy on the configuration part."
"For USB protection, the stability has been very poor, actually, over the past year."
"The price could be improved."
"They could be better in terms of Complete Data Protection."
"The solution needs to reduce the number of false positives. There are too many of them."
"There are compatibility issues with the Chrome browser."
"The solution needs more advanced features."
"Encrypting a single column is straightforward, but encrypting at the table level requires more work and takes longer to complete."
"It is really constrained as an environment because you cannot change something that would be useful. It is a very good product because it is very similar to what you have on-premises. Yes, it is constrained, but it is expected because it is a platform as a service so it has to be constrained."
"Having a single command to encrypt a table would be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the price could be a little bit less."
"The price of this solution needs to be improved."
"When it comes to pricing, I've observed an increase recently."
"The solution is affordable"
"The pricing is better than that of some competing products."
"The licensing is yearly."
"The solution is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"The cost of McAfee Complete Data Protection isn't that high but isn't that cheap as well, so it's in the middle."
