Senior Consultant CDN at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
I would rate the technical support with Cloudflare as excellent every time I've had to call them.
Owner at Hga consulting
I have primarily worked not with the tool's customer support but with the product's sales engineers and technical sales engineers, who seem to know their stuff.
Principal Cyber Prevent and Defense Engineer at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
Improvements could be made in response time or quality as all of them can be rated a seven.
Country Manager at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
We received prompt technical support and remote sessions when necessary.
Senior Security Engineer at Omerika
Trellix's technical support deserves a perfect rating, and I would rate it ten out of ten compared to other solutions.

Trellix DLP is scalable and adaptable, favored in cloud and on-premises setups for growing infrastructure needs.
It is a SaaS tool, but the fact that they have workloads deployed across the world proves that it is a highly scalable tool.

The tool offers very good performance, even during high-traffic periods.
Engineer at SITMEXICO
I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.
Independent Consultant at Unaikui
Trellix DLP is very scalable, especially with the cloud version as everything is managed in the cloud.
Senior Security Engineer at Omerika
It's a bit of a fallback, and I know they are working on improving scalability.
Senior Cyber Security Specialist Architect at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees

Trellix DLP is stable for Windows, less so for Mac, with high integration satisfaction despite performance needs.
I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.
Independent Consultant at Unaikui
The service is very stable with no impacts during high-traffic periods.
Engineer at SITMEXICO
Sometimes there are some issues in the product itself; whenever they release a new version, vulnerabilities come into the picture, and we need to update the product to mitigate such issues.
Sr. System Engineer at Zensar Technologies
With the move to cloud provisioning, that is not a big problem anymore due to scalability on Trellix's side.
Senior Cyber Security Specialist Architect at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees

Senior Security Engineer at Omerika
Product stability is not a major concern; I would rate it 99% stable.

Room For Improvement

Enhancements needed in Cloudflare: analytics, CDN latency, API integration, user support, DNS, pricing, documentation, server coverage, WAF, and cache.
McAfee Total Protection needs UI and integration improvements, cost efficiency, AI refinement, advanced threat defense, and simpler setup.
Trellix DLP requires better support, enhanced UI, compatibility, cloud integration, machine learning, and efficient policy application.
Despite these challenges, overall, Cloudflare remains the preferred solution compared to Azure, AWS CloudFront, and Google Cloud Armor.
Managed Services Manager at Adapture Technology Group
Areas like how assessment, discovery, and payload are dealt with and how it all comes into your organization can be considered when trying to make suggestions to Cloudflare for improvements.
Senior Cloud Solution Architect at Integrated Technology Solution Group (ITSG)
There are some performance considerations when it comes to dynamic content that involves fetching data from databases or using APIs.
Senior Solutions Architect at Think Power Solutions
Sometimes there are some issues in the product itself; whenever they release a new version, vulnerabilities come into the picture, and we need to update the product to mitigate such issues.
Sr. System Engineer at Zensar Technologies
I see enhancement in reporting for McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention as a potential area of improvement to think from a data asset perspective, not from a policy perspective, and do more analysis regarding the user's perspective rather than the policy's perspective.
Country Manager at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies.
Senior Cyber Security Specialist Architect at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees
Improved compatibility with Mac OS is needed due to ineffective policy applications.
Senior Security Engineer at Omerika
The product also faces challenges with high CPU and memory utilization, impacting endpoint performance.
Senior Technical Support Engineer at Hitachi Systems, Ltd.
 

Setup Cost

Cloudflare offers scalable pricing, from free to enterprise plans, providing significant value especially for mid-sized companies.
Enterprise users find McAfee Total Protection costly, but competitive when bundled, with varied satisfaction on pricing and complexity.
Trellix DLP pricing is user-dependent, device-based, and considered reasonable, but can be high due to currency conversion.
I find it to be cheap.
Engineer at SITMEXICO
I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.
Senior Solutions Architect at Think Power Solutions
The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive.
Principal Cyber Prevent and Defense Engineer at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
I rate the pricing for McAfee as competitive compared to other companies; they are in the same range, not a cheap product and not an expensive product.
Country Manager at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
It used to be in the middle, tending towards the high end, especially in South Africa, where we need to convert from dollars to rands, making things very expensive quickly.
Senior Cyber Security Specialist Architect at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees
The solution is currently affordable and not considered expensive.
Senior Technical Engineer at Safezone Secure Solutions Private Limited
The pricing for Trellix DLP is good, and it always wins when compared to other solutions.

Owner at Hga consulting
Has helped manage client domains with streamlined access control and threat visibility
I don't know what areas could be improved with Cloudflare WAF; Cloudflare is constantly improving and adding features to their feature set. They're doing a good job, and as far as DNS and support for any domains that I create or my clients create, it's mandatory for me to make sure that they have Cloudflare as their DNS provider. The Cloudflare load balancing capability hasn't really helped in enhancing my website's uptime and resiliency because we don't really get that much traffic; it's mostly remote users, and web hosting is done by a web hosting service. It doesn't pay to try to host your own website.

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.
GANESAN K - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Technical Engineer at Safezone Secure Solutions Private Limited
Distributors highly benefit from advanced data monitoring and seamless integration features
The Machine Learning capability could be improved, particularly in data discovery. When given sensitive data expressions, the system retrieves files that are not always related. The system should adhere strictly to the given expression rather than just focusing on keywords within the expression. In endpoint features, while the detection rate is good, there could be improvements in remediation and rollback solutions during attacks. Other solutions now include such options since providing 100% security is impossible. The flexibility varies across environments. Enterprise customers find the product performs well without affecting their data, with scans running as scheduled. However, SMB customers experience some performance issues during scanning. Since EDR is integrated, users must access the EDR console to check endpoint detections. It would be beneficial if this functionality were incorporated within the EPO console, as the current threat graphs link doesn't display endpoint threat graphs.
