More Vormetric Data Security Platform [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"What I didn't find helpful in the version we used is the fact that all devices had to be on the same network for us to push through the encryption.""It was hard to install and took us about three months.""I can only patch monthly. I don't know what the solution is there, besides being vulnerable for three weeks out of four. But there's got to be an option somehow.""The GUI could use some enhancement, particularly in making option sets easier to locate on client machines.""There are other solutions in the market that have new features. The feature could improve.""It's a bit difficult to get good support. Their response times are really bad.""If for example, a user forgets the endpoint key, they cannot access their data. We need a support team that is a single point of contact for the IT entity to be trained and to have documentation for troubleshooting and managing the solution.""More features need to be included in the encryption software."

"The solution really needs to improve the data pile. With the pile, if we could also do a column-level encryption or something like third-level encryptions that would be great. It would be a slight variation of same product."
