Has helped manage client domains with streamlined access control and threat visibility

I don't know what areas could be improved with Cloudflare WAF; Cloudflare is constantly improving and adding features to their feature set. They're doing a good job, and as far as DNS and support for any domains that I create or my clients create, it's mandatory for me to make sure that they have Cloudflare as their DNS provider. The Cloudflare load balancing capability hasn't really helped in enhancing my website's uptime and resiliency because we don't really get that much traffic; it's mostly remote users, and web hosting is done by a web hosting service. It doesn't pay to try to host your own website.

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.

Has improved data visibility and protection while enabling automated compliance monitoring

Varonis Platform offers multiple features for data protection, such as data discovery and classification. We can identify, discover, and classify sensitive data effectively, which is crucial given the DPDP law in India and GDPR. The platform also excels in access and exposure tracking, enabling us to monitor users, permissions, and reduce access to sensitive files. Additionally, it includes UEBA for behavior analytics and threat detection, making it valuable for compliance and audit readiness. Varonis Platform has helped our organization primarily for DPDP compliance, although I currently don't have a specific example related to GDPR or HIPAA. A unique feature of Varonis Platform that stands out to me is that, in the current market, it is one of the best data classification solutions available. Compared to others such as Forcepoint, Varonis Platform is agent-based and AI-driven for detection and response, identifying data based on its content and context, and it includes automated remediation and lifecycle automation, making it a leading product in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The attacker won't have details since my public IP is anonymous. It offers us good privacy."

"The most valuable feature is its usability."

"Its ease of integration with Office 365 and the fact that it's a good product compared to what I had before"

"The tool is user-friendly."

"Cloudflare makes it easier for me to handle and set up DNS for multiple users and multiple clients, and basically go in and access their account, make the changes they need, and it's a one-stop shop."

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

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

More Cloudflare pros

"It is a scalable 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."

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

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

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

"There are no issues with the interface."

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

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

More Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention pros

"Varonis Platform has positively impacted my organization by providing clarity regarding data and permissions, improving visibility, security, and compliance."

"Technical support from Varonis is rated as nine out of ten."

"In my experience, the best features that Varonis Platform offers are data labeling, data classification, along with all the integrations and its easy-to-use platform."

"It can easily identify unusual behavior or access patterns that may pose a potential threat, while operating as a unified reporting system."

"The most important feature is remediation. In remediation support, there is no group permission. We'll go ahead and remediate the access from the Dell folder to the parent folder."

"I also appreciate the reporting feature, which allows for the extraction of various reports based on specific needs. These reports can be used for audit purposes, such as tracking changes in file locations or deletions."

"Varonis Platform is transparent and captures everything in the environment without impacting the performance. The tool helps us unify data feeds into a single reporting system."

"The solution ensures that users have not accidentally shared sensitive information with the wrong people or too many people."

More Varonis Platform pros

Cons

"We have noticed multiple instances where Cloudflare falsely indicates that our servers are down, even when there is no actual load on them. This makes it challenging for us to identify the exact issue."

"There should be a specific price list for enterprise-level customers."

"Sometimes their more advanced caching tools can cause higher first-byte times and problems with JavaScript."

"The solution could use more analytics on the backend to give us more insights into everything. More reports would be helpful."

"Integration involving API with other products could be more user-friendly."

"Cloudflare could offer a better view or maybe dashboards of the main resources used in the client."

"Support response time could be improved."

"Cloudflare's console should be made more user-friendly."

More Cloudflare 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."

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

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

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

"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."

"Having more features apart from what the product was designed for is what I'd like to see in its next release."

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

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

More Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention cons

"Varonis requires more access permissions for its core functions compared to competitors, which can be a concern for companies about data safety."

"We have Microsoft Office 365. I just saw an article today which says that they're actually getting integrated with Microsoft Office 365, which would be a useful feature. For user-based reports, log on activity, and stuff like that, it doesn't seem to really be present like Log360. That could just be my inexperience with it. I've been dealing with it for only about two and a half months."

"Be prepared that when you implement the product, you will have to tune it as you go."

"The solution's interface is a little complicated with regard to setting up filters and reports."

"There is one thing that if I add something manually, I get so many alerts. That's the biggest bad thing."

"The product is very complicated."

"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"

"While Varonis Platform is powerful, the initial data scanning and indexing can take significant time in large environments."

More Varonis Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't have any issues with the price."

"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."

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

"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."

"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."

"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 think the pricing is competitive. I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers."

"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."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

More Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention pricing and cost advice

"The platform is expensive. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."

"You could do a subscription, where you pay yearly, or you could purchase it outright. The licensing cost is based on the number of users on the system that you are monitoring."

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."

"The pricing is good. It neither expensive nor cheap. It is average."

"Varonis Platform wasn't certainly the cheapest solution."

"It's expensive, kind of, really expensive."

"Licensing is on an annual basis. Maintenance and renewal fees are separate. Varonis Datalert is quite expensive."

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.

Trend Micro
