Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 3, 2024

Netwrix Endpoint Protector and Trellix DLP compete in the data loss prevention category. Trellix DLP seems to have the upper hand due to its integrated toolset and extensive feature set, offering a single console for endpoint security and additional enhancement features like AI/ML analytics.

Features: Netwrix Endpoint Protector provides Device Control, Content-Aware Protection, and role-based access, supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux. It offers granular policy management to prevent unauthorized data sharing and system access. Trellix DLP features comprehensive DLP capabilities and integration, providing a single console for endpoint security combined with AI/ML analytics, enhancing data protection efficiency.

Room for Improvement: Netwrix Endpoint Protector needs network-level DLP enhancements and more customization options, especially for Linux. Users report issues with installation on older systems and desire improved policy management. Trellix DLP lacks Linux compatibility and multiple architecture support. Its UI could be more user-friendly, and users request better encryption support in cloud solutions and quicker support response times.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Netwrix Endpoint Protector supports on-premises and public cloud solutions, excelling in diverse environments with strong customer support. However, improvements are needed in the installation process and support responsiveness. Trellix DLP also supports on-premises and hybrid cloud deployments, noted for ease of deployment but concerns exist over the heavy setup workload and the need for better customer service and communication.

Pricing and ROI: Netwrix Endpoint Protector is seen as budget-friendly with reasonable pricing, though some users noted unexpected price increases. It offers ROI by aiding compliance and management simplicity. Trellix DLP's pricing is variable and considered expensive by some, yet provides significant ROI through comprehensive protection and operational efficiency.

Block USBs and manage ports effectively across multiple OS platforms

There is an important feature that needs to be added. In Linux, it is difficult to control uninstallation. Users can uninstall it at any time, and we can only monitor that it is uninstalled. If there is a feature that can notify in the master dashboard that an agent has been uninstalled, it would be very beneficial.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are Device Control, Content-Aware Protection, Enforced Encryption, and eDiscovery."

"It also provides us with the ability to lock down a wide variety of USB devices, which is pretty important because we don't want certain data accessed. It does a really good job when it comes to the versatility of the exit points it supports, making sure that important data does not leave our organization."

"Its robust security audit and compliance functionalities prove especially beneficial for businesses in sectors like BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) and Information Technology."

"The software is easy to use and the dashboard is intuitive."

"There are effectively two areas of DLP to look at from a technical perspective. One is how it performs the pickup of information traversing the system and the other is how the policy engine, which analyzes the data, works. On the first aspect, CoSoSys is probably best of breed for macOS because they're reasonably well-integrated into the operating system. They're looking at the file system operations level, not at the execution level."

"The most valuable aspects of the solution is the device control, which manages any portable device connected to the endpoint, and content-aware protection, which controls data in motion from the endpoint to outside, like when users try to upload data to a web browser or an instant messaging application."

"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to support Linux operating systems."

"I like the data protection feature. Our users were working on a client's CRM application with a lot of client-related EIA information. We did not want the users to be able to send any of this data outside. I also like its ability to protect against data leaks via emails and social media. I like that you can deploy it quickly, and it requires no training."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pros

"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do. It is fairly simple to use compared to Proofpoint."

"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."

"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."

"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."

"Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard."

"I rate the product an eight out of ten."

"The solution involves implementing the confidentiality, utility, and availability principles."

"The solution is stable and does not have glitching issues."

Cons

"There are times when the server needs to be updated, and it would help if I got a notification for when the newest version comes out, because at the moment, I'm going in every now and then and checking. Sometimes it comes out and I didn't know it had come out."

"I would like to see an alert feature that when a system is started, it checks to make sure that the client has the most up-to-date policies."

"Because it is only an Endpoint Protector at this point in time, it does not have a network DLP component. There's only an endpoint DLP component. In the future, it would be good if a network DLP component could be embedded and extended to have network DLP capabilities."

"In Linux, it is difficult to control uninstallation. Users can uninstall it at any time, and we can only monitor that it is uninstalled."

"The policy engine could use a bit of work. They're definitely going in the right direction. We've been working with them over the last few weeks to try and optimize that. But it's reasonably clear that they're just not putting as much effort into the policy engine as into other things, like content discovery."

"When we started, the price was reasonable, but it has been increasing over time."

"One of the areas where there is room for improvement is support. It takes time for them to respond. They need to respond on time. Instead of sending an email, I think it would be very helpful to say, 'Let's set up a WebEx to see what's really going on,' instead of the back and forth of email."

"They have many predefined classifiers in terms of data identifiers, and they should improve this."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector cons

"The main challenge we face is with our on-premises Trellix DLP implementation. While we can push the agent, we cannot apply the policy on Azure systems."

"Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies."

"Virtualization is complex and requires proper training. However, once you get trained, it is a very good product."

"The main issue I have currently is with technical support."

"When cases are raised, partners perform initial L1 or L2 troubleshooting. However, ticket resolution times are often too long, with new engineers sometimes requesting the same logs repeatedly."

"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."

"The bugs need improvement."

"Trellix DLP can improve by addressing the lack of features such as deep drive DLP and email notifications present in other solutions like Forcepoint."

More Trellix DLP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From what we've seen, their pricing is a lot lower than the other stuff we've looked at. I actually don't have any concerns with their pricing. They were probably the most reasonable company out there for the features that were offered. It was pretty straightforward in terms of licensing, and you just pay for the license."

"This is a budget-friendly solution that covers all the aspects of host-level DLP."

"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."

"When I last renewed the license it was for a two-year term, and they gave me the second year at half price."

"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."

"The software comes with a higher price tag when compared to other DLP solutions."
