Featured Reviews

Mohammad Amir Hossain - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
GANESAN K - PeerSpot reviewer
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 product is forward-looking, in my opinion, which is a requirement nowadays."
"The versatility regarding the exit point Endpoint Protector supports in making sure that important data doesn't leave our organization is vital for us. In the industry that we're in, data breaches are a significant concern. While our staff is contractually required to maintain confidentiality and they're all very aware that they shouldn't try and transfer company data of different classifications elsewhere to non-company devices, there's a risk."
"It is easy to manage the DLP between MacOS and Linux."
"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."
"The core of its value lies in obtaining logs remotely and exercising control over what employees can or cannot use."
"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."
"I rate technical support as ten out of ten."
"The device control is a big deal for us because we can actually lock out removable drives and different types of hardware. It allows us to have better control over what end-users plug into their computers, and we can have deny lists and tighten our security posture."
"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."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do."
"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."
"I am satisfied with stability as there are not any latencies."
 

Cons

"They have many predefined classifiers in terms of data identifiers, and they should improve this."
"In Linux, it is difficult to control uninstallation. Users can uninstall it at any time, and we can only monitor that it is uninstalled."
"Sometimes, it should try to focus on one thing rather than multiple things. Endpoint Protector does device control very well, which is why we use that particular function."
"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."
"CoSoSys Endpoint Protector's network-level DLP and integration with mail servers need improvement."
"It needs to improve in terms of policy customization."
"It would be helpful to implement filtering mechanisms so that we can sort and view the data based on software and vendor, providing more clarity and ease in analysis."
"In Linux a user can remove a getent anytime. There is no control there on the file structure in Linux. So if this solution could give us information on what users removed in the dashboard, it would help us."
"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."
"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."
"Coverage for Mac OS is lacking as features like clipboard and print protection don't function as expected."
"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"I would rate the solution seven out of ten based on my last experience within the last six months. It's a bit of a fallback, and I know they are working on improving scalability."
"Trellix DLP can improve by addressing the lack of features such as deep drive DLP and email notifications present in other solutions like Forcepoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is quite reasonable. For smaller organizations, it lets them get into the product domain, whereas a lot of vendors won't even talk to them. CoSoSys is just about at that sweet spot of being serious enough that you have to budget for it, but at the same time, affordable enough that the value is well worth it."
"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."
"This solution was not too cheap or too expensive. But for the amount of features that they are offering, it was reasonable."
"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."
"[The pricing] is reasonable compared to what's out there."
"The price of Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys is more or less the same as other competing solutions."
"The pricing is very competitive and is cheaper in comparison to that of other solutions. It makes it an easy decision to go with EPP for the data loss prevention infrastructure."
"The minimum number of licenses they sell is 50 or 150 users."
"The pricing depends on the number of users in a company."
