Provides real-time alerts and efficient data governance with easy integration
The best features of Amazon Macie include sensitive data identification, particularly for PII, which is pre-built and helpful because we don't have to define it ourselves. Those features are already embedded, which was beneficial. Additionally, some insights and alerts were coming up that were also pre-configured. It's not difficult to do that, but it's more of a build versus buy decision. These features were of great help to us. My experience with Amazon Macie's ability to provide alerts for suspicious activity in real-time has been good. We utilized the alerts for threat detection. Customizable features of Amazon Macie have helped significantly in maintaining fine-grained control over access and usage of sensitive information, offering a good combination of personalized options and out-of-the-box solutions.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's performance is good."
"The detailed reports on data privacy risk provided by Amazon Macie are really good and have contributed positively to our data governance strategies."
"The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe."
"In summary, we have not faced many issues with Endpoint Protector and it is fulfilling our requirements, as we wanted."
"The core of its value lies in obtaining logs remotely and exercising control over what employees can or cannot use."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to support Linux operating systems."
"The most valuable features are Device Control, Content-Aware Protection, Enforced Encryption, and eDiscovery."
"One unique feature is drive encryption. We have portable devices, and they have a password vault. If you transfer any data to your device, you can use the password vault to protect it."
"We like that content-aware and device controls can easily be managed. They're not complicated. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand them."
"Things are more systematic now, and the headache of the IT team is gone."
"ROI is very hard to quantify but Endpoint Protector is ultimately priceless."
 

Cons

"Amazon Macie is expensive."
"My experience with the pricing or licensing of Amazon Macie is that it was good enough to get started with, but as we keep adding, it increases the cost as well."
"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."
"We are currently facing an issue where it is blocking the Winman software, which is something that we don't want to happen because we use it in our accounts department to pay taxes."
"Sometimes, it should try to focus on one thing rather than multiple things. Endpoint Protector does device control very well, which is why we use that particular function."
"One of the areas where there is room for improvement is support. It takes time for them to respond. They need to respond on time. Instead of sending an email, I think it would be very helpful to say, 'Let's set up a WebEx to see what's really going on,' instead of the back and forth of email."
"In Linux, it is difficult to control uninstallation. Users can uninstall it at any time, and we can only monitor that it is uninstalled."
"Endpoint Protector would be improved with more DLP templates."
"When you want to uninstall and reinstall, there are a lot of issues. You have to do a lot of workarounds to reinstall Endpoint Protector. This is a major issue that we have constantly because we still have old systems with XP. While there are only very few, we need to run them because there are machines attached that only run on XP. When we need to uninstall and reinstall on XP or Windows 10, we have serious issues left in the Registry Editor everywhere. There is a lot of manual interference to get the reinstallation to work. For the uninstallation of Endpoint Protector, they need to work on this so it doesn't leave any leftovers behind."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You need to pay per usage."
"The software comes with a higher price tag when compared to other DLP solutions."
"This solution was not too cheap or too expensive. But for the amount of features that they are offering, it was reasonable."
"The solution’s pricing is a normal industry standard and depends on customers and salespersons."
"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."
"The pricing depends on the customers."
"The pricing is reasonable for this particular market."
"It has a fair price. They just changed recently from perpetual licensing. When I bought it, I bought it on perpetual license, then they changed the whole company policy to go to subscription. It was a bit of a shock to us because we haven't upgraded it that many times. However, after speaking to CoSoSys directly, they gave us a very good renewal price."
"The product has average pricing."
