Reasonably priced, blocks everything and can expand
This is our data loss prevention tool. We install it in our AWS instances for our data If a user tries to copy from EC2 Instant to any other devices, it'll block the action. Or, if a user tries to upload any file from EC2 Instance to any block-listed URLs, it'll block that as well. It helps keeps…

A cost-effective solution to protect data from physical theft, but the encryption process is slow
It takes a very long time to encrypt a disk, so I think that speed is something that can be improved. It can take more than two hours to encrypt a disk with one terabyte of data. When my clients are working, they don't really like having to look at a progress bar to tell them that the disk is in the process of being encrypted. If the encryption was faster then it would make the experience more pleasant. I would like to be able to secure the hard drives of virtual machines. Securing data transfer such as email and the more general internet connection would be very good. They should improve the hybrid-cloud security and protect the network instead of just securing the computers.

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.

"The number one feature I found was that the install was really easy, it was quite helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Voltage SecureData Enterprise is the ease of configuration and the group services rest API."
 

Cons

"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."
"Lacks GDPR regulations to enhance security."
"The licensing cost for McAfee Total Protection could be cheaper, but apart from that, I don't need anything else. The software has what I need."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention could improve by having artificial intelligence."
"The interface can be improved, it's too cluttered."
"I would like the solution to improve the AI features for anti-virus detection. I also want the software to include a tool for malware detection."
"The product uses a lot of resources and because of this it is not always a good solution for every situation."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The solution could improve by having a centralized GUI for management."

"The console GUI could be better."
"The integration between Active Directory and BitLocker could be better."
"They could improve cloud integration regarding attribute and encryption key management."
"For improvement, as it is now, I do not have any support from anyone. There should be a web interface to manage BitLocker. But for now, all I do is just install a new product on the user's machine and create it. I would like to be able to see everything that is happening, even if it is just through a web interface. I would also like to be able to see how many users are provisioned, which users are using BitLocker, and how to disable or enable it. That's what I would like to see."
"Some of the technical internal functions, such as encryption protocols or something similar, could be improved."
"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."
