Danit Sannikov - PeerSpot reviewer
Project manager at SII
Can be well-integrated with the existing systems in a company and is very intuitive to use
I once faced a problem with the tool, but I remember that I managed to work without a VPN, and then the problem with the product was sorted out somehow. An option to connect not only with the username and password but also through SMS in an easy manner is something that needs to be added to the tool. When I changed the way I connect to the tool to the SMS option, I did it because I bought a new phone, and it had a problem connecting with the tool, after which I had to go to the settings to change it, so I felt it was not very intuitive. In other platforms, the user will have two options to connect, one of which is with a username and password, and the other one is with an SMS.

Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management
On a technical level, when I draw a comparison between McAfee Complete Data Protection and CrowdStrike, McAfee Complete Data Protection is a one out of ten, and then CrowdStrike is a ten out of ten. I say that technically McAfee Complete Data Protection is so low because the console and the portal haven't changed in almost ten years. It's had some slight visual improvements, but that's it. It's not really working in a modern portal the way that some of the enterprise apps like CrowdStrike actually work. McAfee Complete Data Protection is also very difficult to use. It takes a lot of time to get my head around how it actually operates. It's not very intuitive. However, in terms of pricing and the specific use cases that I have, it's good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Check Point gives us the possibility of reaching each security goal we have and has been a strategic ally for our internal assurance and the security of our information within the organization."
"We use the solution for endpoint encryption and it handles everything, with security, a firewall within the workstation, and DLP within the solution and on the workstation, making use of 360-degree security on one's workstation."
"It's easily scalable and adaptable to the needs of the business."
"We haven't had anything related to threats pass through our system in the last five years."
"The encryption ensures each of our drives is not invasive and that the user does not have a bad experience even while the drive is being encrypted."
"This software has helped individuals in the organization avoid data loss."
"Above all, the possibility of keeping our data safe by placing a unique digital signature for each device we will encrypt, informing us of any unauthorized changes, is one of the most valuable features."
"Its ability to provide a security layer of encryption that allows us to prevent unauthorized access to computers."
"I'd recommend the solution."
"Complete Data Protection lets us define roles in our data products. It helps us identify something suspicious on the client's device."
"With respect to data loss prevention, I think it is helpful to the customer."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"The new feature for online protection does a good job of identifying traits."
"The console allows us to manage not only endpoint protection, but DLP, and also integration with MVISION Cloud."
"The beauty of McAfee is that they are not looking at encryption from one single standpoint. It is a broader solution."
"By configuring policies, you can ensure that sensitive data is not shared with unauthorized individuals."
 

Cons

"I rate the support from Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade a six out of ten."
"The response time for technical support could be faster."
"There are a few cases of security breaches when the networking system fails and can lead to malware attacks. The next release should focus more on data virtualization and support for all computing devices."
"You do need to be careful that you don't mess too much with the endpoint, or you might have issues with the work stations."
"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."
"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."
"While the solution works as it should, it is overly expensive."
"They could improve the latency in the platform when entering the portal."
"In terms of where the solution could improve, it could integrate with network solutions for ADTs, email web gateways and discovery."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"As a new technology, it does need to grow."
"There's a limited coverage of operating systems. The marketing strategies need to change drastically."
"For USB protection, the stability has been very poor, actually, over the past year."
"I think in looking at this as to how it can be improved, the drive encryption side is not as straightforward as it could be. It is a little bit heavy on the configuration part."
"The solution needs to reduce the number of false positives. There are too many of them."
"If you compare this solution with next-generation products like CrowdStrike, you will find that it should be easier to work on and therefore more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As it costs $125 per workstation per year, something which is above the price of what the competition is charging, the solution is definitely too expensive."
"The pricing is better than that of some competing products."
"The price is good, it's a low-cost solution."
"The cost of McAfee Complete Data Protection isn't that high but isn't that cheap as well, so it's in the middle."
"The licensing is yearly."
"The pricing of the cloud offering seems confusing."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the solution a seven."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection is a little bit expensive."
"We currently have a contract option with McAfee Complete Data Protection."
