Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management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.

Good support, stable, and offers encryption at both the column and table level
The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables. We are also getting the benefit of detection data. If I want to share data with another Oracle user then the data sharing is automatically detected. We don't need to modify anything. This is a complete security solution and all of the features that we are using are available off the shelf.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is user-friendly and it provides a large number of options."
"The new feature for online protection does a good job of identifying traits."
"Some of the features that have been most valuable include the firewall protection, wave control, and data loss protection."
"It provides encryption, data protection, and DLP, all under one roof. The deployment, scalability, and reporting is too good. My clients are satisfied with the stability of the product. The solution is highly scalable. The technical support's response time and turnaround time as the solution provider are excellent. The availability of great back-end support and process support makes the product great. The initial setup is straightforward, with simple configurations. I recommend the solution."
"The McAfee Threat Protection and McAfee Web Protection are valuable aspects of the solution, and they're better than other features that come with the endpoints."
"The solution is excellent for protecting users from data being exploited, and it's also great for preventing data leakage."
"With respect to data loss prevention, I think it is helpful to the customer."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection has its own encryption version, and it works independently."
"Overall, it is a good solution and I can recommend it to anybody who wants to encrypt columnar data and protect it against theft."
"The features that are the most used by the customers and partners are, at the moment, for GDPR, so obviously data encryption and data reduction. Our customers also like the partitioning option."
"The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables."
 

Cons

"For USB protection, the stability has been very poor, actually, over the past year."
"Maybe a better GUI platform; that would make it easier to present information to management, so I would not need to fix the data before I present it."
"There's a limited coverage of operating systems. The marketing strategies need to change drastically."
"The price could be improved."
"They need to segregate McAfee Complete Data Protection for endpoints and servers."
"The product must improve endpoint encryption."
"The product consumes too much RAM and CPU, makes clones in the machine, and eats up resources."
"This solution does not do as well at protecting the end-user against unknown viruses."
"Having a single command to encrypt a table would be an improvement."
"It is really constrained as an environment because you cannot change something that would be useful. It is a very good product because it is very similar to what you have on-premises. Yes, it is constrained, but it is expected because it is a platform as a service so it has to be constrained."
"Encrypting a single column is straightforward, but encrypting at the table level requires more work and takes longer to complete."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The pricing of the cloud offering seems confusing."
"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 price is good, it's a low-cost solution."
"I think the price could be a little bit less."
"The price of this solution needs to be improved."
"The solution is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"When it comes to pricing, I've observed an increase recently."
