Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.
Kamal Abdelrahman - PeerSpot reviewer
Has provided strong data protection capabilities while offering valuable policy customization options
I find unique value in McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention specifically in controlling the application from a DLP perspective; when a computer downloads a package, you can understand where it downloaded this package from, and you can create a policy regarding the source of the download. This is actually an important and valuable feature, specifically in enterprises where they download, upload, and export critical reports from their business applications. I appreciate the customized policy features in McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention because we didn't find these features in other competing applications. This may be a requirement from business customers who have important or critical applications; they expect to understand that these are critical files because this is a critical application. This cannot be done although we are with Trellix or McAfee solution.
Mohamed-Hashem - PeerSpot reviewer
Has integrated well with internal systems and supported secure file server use for several years
The most valuable function of Symantec Endpoint Encryption is the integration with our current endpoint protection solution and its administration because it is already integrated with our operating system to Microsoft. We do not have any complaints about the solution from any management perspective, as I am not involved in technical implementation. The centralized policy control in Symantec Endpoint Encryption is useful for us. We already have it implemented. The removable media encryption in Symantec Endpoint Encryption is enabled by default, though I am not interacting with it directly.
Sampath Acharya - PeerSpot reviewer
Full disk encryption safeguards data effectively and customer service provides excellent support
There weren't too many challenges with the setup. The initial setup is a little bit difficult as it requires skill. A person without the necessary experience or skill cannot handle it. Overall, I'd rate the implementation process seven out of ten. Deployment times vary depending on customer enrollment. If there are more than 100 machines, it might take 45 to 60 days.
