Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

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.

Integrated controls have simplified compliance checks and have provided rapid audit readiness

In my opinion, the features of Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention are not very valuable compared to full DLP solutions such as those from McAfee or Symantec. This product is only suitable for compliance purposes. If you cover PCI requirements as a financial institution with a checkbox needed for your security audit, it performs very well at this. Basically, if the requirement fits within fixed rules with no need to customize to specific internal documents, it is a great product because of the ease of implementation. It is built-in with most Trend Micro products, so it is just a checkbox and a few clicks in the policy. For these purposes, it is great, but if you have confidential documents to protect, this is not exactly the right product. A few years back, say ten or fifteen years ago, Trend Micro had a standalone DLP product comparable in features to the leaders in the segment, but they decided to stop this product for some reason. The new one, built into other Trend Micro products, is not suitable for forensics, such as tracking who opened a document or who copied a confidential paragraph from a specific document. I do not know what could be improved about Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention. I was really a fan of the full-fledged product. I always tell prospective customers what exactly they can expect and never try to persuade them to choose Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention just because they ask for DLP. It is a niche product, similar to Microsoft DLP, which is also integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem. If the rules fit the specific scenario, it is great. However, if you need to protect specific documents or users, it is not exactly the best product for that purpose. If I consider the intended usage for Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention, I might rate it an eight, but if I evaluate it as a full-fledged DLP solution, I would say three. It is not marketed as a full-fledged DLP. It only integrates with specific regular expressions or keywords. If your needs are simple but you have to cover them due to some regulation, it is great, but for protecting confidential data or intellectual property, it is not the product for this use. For measuring the effectiveness of Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention in minimizing data leaks, I use speed, ease of implementation, and rapid ability to cover regulatory and compliance requirements, which it does really fast if you have such a scenario. However, protecting specific documents or intellectual property is not suitable and not intended for this use, so it is called DLP the other one, but it is not comparable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."

"Using Cloudflare One makes my work quite easy because for DDoS protection, all I need to do is understand the OSI model and click; it makes it easier than trying to write a command line or use a Linux command."

"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."

"Clover is the best product globally."

"It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it."

"The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks."

"For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."

"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."

More Cloudflare One pros

"It is easy to manage the DLP between MacOS and Linux."

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

"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 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."

"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 core of its value lies in obtaining logs remotely and exercising control over what employees can or cannot use."

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

"The most valuable feature is device control."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pros

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

"If your needs are simple but you have to cover them due to some regulation, it is great, but for protecting confidential data or intellectual property, it is not the product for this use."

"The interface and dashboard are okay."

"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."

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

"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is a reliable product."

"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."

"Everyone can use this tool."

More Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention [EOL] pros

Cons

"There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved."

"Feedback could be enhanced."

"The onboarding process can be improved a little bit."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."

"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."

"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."

More Cloudflare One cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Endpoint Protector would be improved with more DLP templates."

"CoSoSys Endpoint Protector's network-level DLP and integration with mail servers need improvement."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector cons

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

"The platform's support structure for government-specific domain requirements could be improved."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

More Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."

"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."

"The solution is not that expensive."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

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

"The product has average pricing."

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

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

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

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

"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."
