Ensures seamless real-time alerts and smooth deployment with room for Linux functionality improvement
The licensing issue was eventually resolved by the team, but the Linux client issue persisted. Not all the policies applied to the Linux clients were as effective as those for Mac and Windows. That was somewhat of a downside for us. I cannot speak to whether they have improved this in the past two years. An area for improvement is that when a package is provided, there should be no additional elements required from the user's side. For instance, there is an activation key, and you have to specify the host where you need to redirect and fetch the license. That was disappointing when it comes to mass deployment.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The role-based access features for the teams that administer it is good."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to support Linux operating systems."
"We like that content-aware and device controls can easily be managed. They're not complicated. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand them."
"This is a budget-friendly solution that covers all the aspects of host-level DLP."
"The console is friendly and it supports Mac."
"The interface is pretty user-friendly, neatly explained, and simple to use."
"Endpoint Protector's best features are its protection and user-friendliness."
"The Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Netwrix Endpoint Protector product is one of the easiest DLPs that can be installed, and I think that we have successfully deployed many of these in the Asia Pacific region."
"Proofpoint offers flexibility in licensing, accommodating various levels from small businesses to governments."
"Proofpoint Email Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is very good."
"We have too many features included in the solution. These include third-party malware detection as a primary feature and a secondary feature focused on dealing with various security threats."
 

Cons

"This product provides zero-day protection for macOS, although I'm currently dealing with an issue on the most recent rollout of the Endpoint client that doesn't seem to be fully functioning."
"When we need to uninstall and reinstall on XP or Windows 10, we have serious issues left in the Registry Editor everywhere."
"Not all the policies applied to the Linux clients were as effective as those for Mac and Windows."
"Endpoint Protector would be improved with more DLP templates."
"The reports and analysis could be improved. There could be a little more data, and the logs could be a little more granular, but it's nothing major. It does what it needs to do, and it's fine."
"It would be helpful if they offered discounted pricing for long-term contracts to serve customers who are interested in committing for periods of three years, five years, or longer."
"Endpoint Protector, in particular, had some features to be desired for the Mac operating system."
"CoSoSys Endpoint Protector's network-level DLP and integration with mail servers need improvement."
"The tool is expensive."
"It is difficult to meet the European security compliancy regulations using Proofpoint since it is very focused on the American market, differing significantly from European policies."
"Cost should reduce so that people can use it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The software comes with a higher price tag when compared to other DLP solutions."
"For what it's doing, the cost is somewhat high for us, but it's the cost of doing business with the clients that we have."
"We have a limited budget for our media section. When we purchased it last year, we migrated from a different solution to this solution, and at that time, they told us that the cost will remain the same, but this year, they increased the price by 20% or something like that. I am not sure about the exact price, but let's say from 8,000, it increased to 10,000. It was a huge gap, and we couldn't bear this cost because we have a limited budget. When we spoke to them, they understood our problem and reduced it to the same price that we had last year."
"The product has average pricing."
"It has a fair price. They just changed recently from perpetual licensing. When I bought it, I bought it on perpetual license, then they changed the whole company policy to go to subscription. It was a bit of a shock to us because we haven't upgraded it that many times. However, after speaking to CoSoSys directly, they gave us a very good renewal price."
"The price of Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys is more or less the same as other competing solutions."
"When I last renewed the license it was for a two-year term, and they gave me the second year at half price."
"I don't have any issue with the licensing and pricing. I would love for it to be cheaper, but at the same time I'm getting a lot from it."
