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

"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."

"Cloudflare DNS is widely used, and it's good for websites. If we use Cloudflare DNS and update one record, it updates in their office instantly."

"Its most significant benefit to date is the speed with which it refreshes DNS records on the internet once you change it. If you are changing a website or registering a new record, it is very quick."

"DDoS attacks target unprotected machines. Cloudflare detects and stops these attacks using internal systems. It identifies incoming DDoS attacks, issuing challenges or blocking them immediately."

"It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a ten out of ten...I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."

"Centralized, full-featured DNS."

"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. You don't necessarily need a certificate if you have a connection between your website and your host, the server, Cloudflare, and the host."

"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is its global reach and it is always evolving."

More Cloudflare pros

"The search for keywords is very important in our security operations because one of the key use cases we had was for the ability to search keyword-based on an internal database of keywords that have been submitted by other project managers within the company that's around intellectual property. The ability to search on keywords was part of that."

"Netwrix Endpoint Protector works on Linux and macOS to block USB ports, control internet access, and manage other peripheral ports."

"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."

"Compared to a lot of the USB management systems out there, Endpoint Protector is the only one that comes with true USB management and the DLP side of it. I'm pretty impressed because I've used several solutions with DLP and USB management, and I've never seen granularity like this solution has."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pros

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

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

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

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

"The basic setup, like configuring servers or deploying the SaaS platform and agent implementation, is straightforward."

"We find the malware scanning and intrusion detection most valuable for our server management requirements. We can find out who is on our servers and what they have done."

"The most values feature of this solution are the micro DLP features."

"We use Trend Micro mainly to monitor user activities, such as tracking the websites they visit and purchase items. Additionally, we focus on identifying and addressing antivirus threats. We used to explore a feature related to proxy but decided against it as an enterprise solution wasn't readily available for us. Our primary use of Trend Micro revolves around end-user security. Integration with Active Directory has proven beneficial, allowing us to easily push updates or changes directly from the console."

More Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention pros

Cons

"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."

"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."

"It should be easier to collect the logs with companies like Sumo. However, based on my discussions with the salespeople, I understand that's how they make their money. With the enterprise product, they want people doing those kinds of enterprise features to do the logging. They want them to pay a lot of money, and that's where I have an issue with them. That should be a default. You should be able to get the log no matter what. The logging should be universal."

"Cloudflare could be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option."

"One area of improvement is in the Access Rules. Hypothetically, if we wanted to block or challenge traffic outside of the United States, the only way to currently do that (as far as I know) is to enter every single country outside of the United States. That could be a labor intensive job. A solution could be to enable users to create a rule where traffic is only allowed within a certain country."

"For the free and Pro plans, Cloudflare could use a simple bot to provide information to users. This would improve support, especially for less advanced users who utilize the free components."

"Eventually, things go sideways and require fixes when it would have been easier to prevent the issue initially."

"The reporting can definitely be improved to offer a lot more explanation on something that may have happened or has actually happened."

More Cloudflare cons

"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."

"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."

"If CoSoSys comes up with a suite of Host DLP, along with Network DLP and SaaS DLP, it will cover all of the aspects of a DLP solution."

"I would rate the role-based access features for administrators a six out of ten. There's work to be done on the granularity of roles that can be assigned to an administrator but there is role-based administrator access present. That's why it's not a zero rating."

"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."

"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."

"Customization could be a lot better."

"It would be better if they had an inbound restriction feature. For example, I work out of my home from my personal computer. All my policies can be deployed while working. When I am done, I should be able to use my machine as my personal machine, and all these policies should be waived. In the next release, I want time bound restriction of the policies because most of these users were working out of home and using their personal computers."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector cons

"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is buggy, which is one area for improvement. I also found Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention support horrible, so that's another area for improvement."

"Being able to specify an agent list, or client list, to allow support from outside of the organization, would be of benefit to this solution."

"Needs a remote login option."

"The solution could use better logging in the future."

"Typically, DLP solutions do not cover emails without an additional component, which necessitates a dual-service proposal. Comparatively, on-premises deployments offer more features locally than online or remote deployments, which sometimes face challenges with feature support. This is a common issue with Trend."

"The tool should improve its reporting functionality. We need a proper reporting feature in a DLP solution."

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

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

More Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."

"We are using the free version."

"The solution has many features but there are ones that you need to pay for. Sometimes you have to find out which is available for free and which you have to pay for."

"A free version of the solution is available."

"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."

"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."

"I give the price a five out of ten."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"We found the pricing pretty attractive. However, volume-based pricing wasn't available."

"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."

"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."

"The pricing is reasonable for this particular market."

"[The pricing] is reasonable compared to what's out there."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 client needs to pay for the Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention license on an annual basis."

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

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.
