Data protection has improved as we restrict uploads to third-party sites and control devices
We are using customizable policies in the product. Everything is fine regarding alerting and reporting features; we got a notification as well as we received the required events, and it is working well. McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is different; whatever the logs are there, they are available on the ePO, so we cannot directly integrate DLP to any third-party tool. We need to actually integrate the ePO itself to enable integration. We are just restricting data to be uploaded, which is the best option that allows us to control organizational data, making it the biggest benefit for us in McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention. We are protecting data to be uploaded on third party URLs, which helps us meet our needs.

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

"The product is largely stable."
"If a DLP is implemented correctly, the value is that you can address the human error issues."
"Enables customization of file types and for different scenarios."
"The solution is stable."
"This solution has a rich set of policies and provides a level of protection even for removable devices."
"The user is given a high level of confidence, which is a very good feature of the solution."
"The pricing of the product is excellent. It's very affordable."
"McAfee is more user friendly than Symantec."
"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

"The product is difficult to use. I don't like the McAfee product and have had a negative user experience."
"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."
"The user interface is messy and could be simplified."
"When this solution is used it requires a lot of administration because the users can have difficulties using it and require assistance. The administrators are continuously modifying the policies for the users. Technical support will be used frequently."
"One thing that would help us is if the McAfee agent that we install on virtual machines became lighter."
"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."
"We need to do a lot of configuration."
"Lacks GDPR regulations to enhance security."
"Encrypting a single column is straightforward, but encrypting at the table level requires more work and takes longer to complete."
"Having a single command to encrypt a table would be an improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems expensive both for the license and the support."
"It's not a cheap option."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is expensive."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"I'm paying the license for McAfee Total Protection yearly. It could be cheaper, but it's fine."
"There is an annual license to use this solution."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive. We typically sell one and three-year licenses."
"If the client purchases the entire suite of McAfee Endpoint, the license is included."
