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.

Provides robust compliance with advanced threat protection and user-friendly interfaces

The features of Netwrix Endpoint Protector that I have found most valuable so far are the two main key modules which are Content Aware Protection (CAP) and Device Control (DC), which is the hottest selling item from my perspective as a consultant. I find CAP and DC valuable because they are very granular in nature and it's easily understood and easily configured. That's why it's easy for us to actually position this product to any organizations with no complications. My impression on the multi-layered protection features of this solution is quite positive because now they've expanded to more things in the DLP itself, that are as good as an enterprise DLP solution. Therefore, I feel that in terms of its pricing values and so on, it is very competitive. I assess the value of the comprehensive reporting and auditing capabilities provided by Netwrix Endpoint Protector as very good because I am a user myself prior to this, before becoming a reseller and now a distributor. I am actually a walking dictionary for this particular product. The comprehensive reporting and auditing capabilities are quite granular in terms of gaining insights. We can actually deep dive into quite a lot of things and find a lot of information that they already have. Assuming if there's a breach, we will be able to know exactly where the breach has occurred and what has occurred, and they are quite granular in how they report their information, including their logs. Therefore, they conform to all compliance regulatory bodies too. My impression of the centralized management console feature of Netwrix Endpoint Protector is that it is one of the simplest centralized monitoring features that even a kid would understand, which is what we need in today's world—nothing complicated. My impression of the data encryption and control over portable storage devices features of this solution is that they are very good, especially the device controls, which I really enjoy using, particularly when it comes to portable devices USBs and the encryption tools that they have, which is another module called E-lock, or enforce encryption, that they do have. They are well-protected along those lines.

Email scanning and keyword monitoring improve compliance with data policies

Trend Micro DLP allows me to scan and monitor emails for specific words, ensuring compliance with data loss prevention policies. The DLP system captures keywords from email headers and subjects, and if those words are present, the DLP system operates accordingly. I also use DLP for monitoring data at rest, data in transit, and external devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."

"From what I've seen so far, there are no negatives to report as of yet"

"Generally, I am satisfied with this product."

"Cloudflare allows us to self-host services such as Rocket.Chat and Node-RED, in high-availability mode, thanks to round robin DNS which allows us to share one hostname between our two locations."

"The simplicity of the overall dashboard makes it a great product for a user like me who has less understanding of the internet than a developer or other more technical people. It gives me peace of mind. I also love the easy customization of the Page Rules."

"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."

"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."

"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"

More Cloudflare pros

"The role-based access features for the teams that administer it is good."

"Endpoint Protector's best features are its protection and user-friendliness."

"It is fantastic in terms of the granularity of the policies. It has many built-in policies, and we can add or create more policies as well. It is perfect, and it gives us more options. We have some users who go outside and then come inside. With EPP, we can even control those users who are outside. If they need to access the media that we are using right now, we can provide OTP messages so that they can access the media even when they are outside of their organization. With our previous solution, we were facing some issues in doing this."

"There are a lot of features, but the main feature is that I can use a device serial number to unlock any particular machine or for all machines. If I have a phone, like a Samsung phone, I can whitelist that specific phone for full access wherever it is plugged into any of our devices. This is the same with a USB, because most USBs come in bulk and have the same serial number. I can then whitelist that particular USB to be read-write with full access."

"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 product is forward-looking, in my opinion, which is a requirement nowadays."

"I rate technical support as ten out of ten."

"All of the features are effective, but the highlight feature of the product was the data layer inspection. When we talk about a DLP product, data packet inspection is very important. Securing data at rest is easy, but securing data in transit is challenging. We used it comprehensively to secure end drives, data transfers, secure hard drives, and end-user machines. It proved monumental in our operations."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pros

"Trend Micro has improved my client's organization by recovering malware disabled network adaptors from servers."

"Trend Micro DLP allows me to scan and monitor emails for specific words, ensuring compliance with data loss prevention policies."

"None of the Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention features worked well, but the solution had a straightforward setup."

"We find the initial setup to be very easy."

"There are no issues with the interface."

"We are able to check the log and keep records."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."

More Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention pros

Cons

"There might be helpful if there was some web application firewall feature."

"They lack a good way to manage DNS as a company, since everything is relegated to single account logins until you get to the higher levels. They have come out with a paid feature to remedy this, but I have not had a chance to fully review it yet to know if it fixes the access problem."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."

"The analytics, basically the dashboard, doesn't have much to it."

"Latencies are always a problem."

"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."

"The integration of LLMs on the dashboard is something that is needed in the tool."

More Cloudflare cons

"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."

"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."

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

"The areas of Netwrix Endpoint Protector that need to be improved include a desire for more graphical interfaces in their systems, as many people today would prefer to see graphical formats for data presentation."

"I have faced issues which shouldn't be related to this product. This product is purely a DLP, so it should only protect my data. I don't know what is happening with their agent or what is happening with the software, but it messes up my endpoint. For example, people are facing bandwidth issues. Before I deployed this on an endpoint, people were getting internet speeds of 40 or 50 Mbps. After deploying it, that would come down to 10 Mbps. And if I uninstalled the agent, it would go back to 50 Mbps."

"Currently, for additional applications that need monitoring by the EPP, a request must be made to their technical support. It would be beneficial to add a feature allowing users to manually add applications for monitoring without depending on the vendor."

"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."

"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."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector cons

"Most of the functions don't work in the way that they are supposed to."

"There is a need for more predefined templates in the DLP tool."

"In Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention, there is a need to improve the plug-in manager, as it is an area with shortcomings."

"There is a need for more predefined templates in the DLP tool."

"Within the solution, many of the functions do not perform as intended...It is not a stable solution...It is not a scalable solution."

"They could improve the product's data loss policies."

"Trend Micro could be priced better, currently, it's a bit high. And there needs to be better after the sale, technical support."

"It's hard for me to answer any questions about missing features. It's the outside companies who support us that manage this DLP solution at this moment."

More Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of licensing costs, we don't pay for licensing for Cloudflare. We only establish communication, then for peering, Cloudflare takes care of the cross-connection in different data centers."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"For Cloudflare, I recommend it heavily for small businesses with revenue under a couple of million dollars. Onboarding is easy, and they even have a free plan. This makes it simple for businesses in the $100,000-$500,000 range to try it out and see its value, allowing them to scale up their infrastructure as needed."

"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."

"The product's pricing is cheap."

"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."

"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"The product has average pricing."

"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."

"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."

"This solution was not too cheap or too expensive. But for the amount of features that they are offering, it was reasonable."

"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."

"The pricing depends on the customers."

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

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pricing and cost advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."

"The licensing and pricing of Trend Micro are comparatively low and competitive since they are offered in a bundle, especially compared to Symantec, which was has a relatively high price."

"The platform is expensive. We purchase its yearly license."

"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is expensive compared to other solutions."

"The product is worth the money you pay for it. It is not an expensive solution."

"Price-wise, it is a cheap solution. I rate the solution's pricing a two on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."

"It's not too expensive, especially when compared to SecureTech, and Forcepoint. It's actually cheaper. A license costs about INR 4,000 to INR 5,000, roughly $60 per license per year. In comparison, Forcepoint licenses are around $90 to $95."

"It's relatively cheap so the pricing is okay."

Reviews from real users

“Many websites require an SSL certificate because they sell stuff and want SSL. Cloudflare
comes with an SSL certificate built in. It's automatic. You sign yourself up for Cloudflare, and
an SSL certificate automatically protects your website. If you have a connection between your
website and your host, the server, Cloudflare, and the host, you don't necessarily need a
certificate.” Spencer M., Owner at Tech Exchange

“What I like best about Cloudflare is that my company can use it to trace and manage
applications and monitor traffic. The solution tells you if there's a spike in traffic. Cloudflare
also sends you a link to check your equipment and deployment and track it through peering,
so it's a valuable tool.” Daniel P., Network Engineer at Ufinet

“The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very
well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service.” PeerSpot user, Competence Center Manager at a tech services company

Now more than ever, your data is on the move—whether it’s on a laptop, flash drive, or moving across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. At any point along the way, your financial data, customer information, intellectual property, or trade secrets could be lost or stolen. Securing this data is further complicated by several growing risk factors:

Rapidly evolving compliance regulations and mandates, including GDPR
Continued growth of workforce mobility
Employees using their own mobile devices and consumer apps for work
Rising frequency of advanced persistent threats (APTs) and data breach incidents

To avoid the embarrassment, reputation damage, regulatory fines, and revenue loss, today’s enterprise must be able to identify, track, and secure all confidential data from multiple points within the organisation and in the cloud without impacting employee productivity and performance. In the past, many organisations tried traditional data loss prevention (DLP) solutions but found they were too intrusive, too complex to manage, and too costly to acquire, deploy, and maintain.
