Useful tool to detect any pattern, and one can add or remove any servers as required
Pros and Cons
- "McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator has a built-in advanced pattern, which is very useful because it can detect any pattern."
- "I would like to see McAfee reduce the amount of manual work required."
What is our primary use case?
We use McAfee to detect patterns. For example, if we detect credit cards, we can use the advanced pattern.
To maintain the solution, we require two individuals that are knowledgeable in SQL and DLP.
What is most valuable?
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator has a built-in advanced pattern, which is very useful because it can detect any pattern.
What needs improvement?
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator requires a lot of manual work. For example, if you use Symantec DLP, only one policy is needed, and you can apply it to all of the channels that are an endpoint, like the web or email. With McAfee, you need to create separate rules for all of those channels. One policy for email, one policy for web, and so on. I would like to see McAfee reduce the amount of manual work required.
In the next release, I would like to see an integration with third-party solutions for classification. We find that implementation is limited for some products. I would like an open API that we can integrate with other classification tools.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator for two months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of McAfee is user-friendly and stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable. You can add and remove servers as required.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward, not complex.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation was done by me within a test environment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We are using a free trial version of McAfee ePolicy.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
