McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention and Netwrix Endpoint Protector both compete in the data security category. Netwrix Endpoint Protector seems to have the upper hand due to its device control, content-aware protection, and strong cross-platform support.
Features: McAfee focuses on intuitive deployment, effective USB blocking, and complete DLP capabilities. Netwrix emphasizes device control, content-aware protection, and zero-day macOS protection, supporting role-based access and hybrid environments.
Room for Improvement: McAfee users note issues with resource usage, complex GUI, and support. Enhanced processing efficiency, GUI design, and virtual desktop features are desired. Netwrix struggles with policy granularity and Linux support, with users wanting more customizable policies and consistent macOS features.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both McAfee and Netwrix are primarily on-premises, with McAfee being more adaptable to public clouds. McAfee's technical support has variable response times, while Netwrix offers reliable initial setup support but faces challenges in ongoing assistance.
Pricing and ROI: McAfee is generally more expensive with high licensing costs and additional charges for support, but users report mixed ROI. Netwrix offers budget-friendly pricing with satisfactory ROI, leaving room for pricing adjustments, especially with long-term or volume-based models.
