Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management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 product is excellent, however, it is very complex to implement from scratch, therefore, it’s good to have a partner that can assist you and help you with the setup."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"So far, we are satisfied with the overall results and the product welcomed by end-users with few complaints."
"The best features of McAfee Complete Data Protection are DLP and encryption; compared to other products in the market, these features are quite intuitive."
"We can use our devices more securely, therefore it protects us from data loss, and therefore, it's very helpful for us."
"By configuring policies, you can ensure that sensitive data is not shared with unauthorized individuals."
"In the configuration, you can restrict a user from accessing a removable drive."
"The console allows us to manage not only endpoint protection, but DLP, and also integration with MVISION Cloud."
"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

"Though there may be some ransomware detection modules now in McAfee Complete Data Protection, it's a field that McAfee should focus on, particularly having integration with some EDR or other add-ons. This is so McAfee Complete Data Protection would have more accuracy in detecting new ransomware in the market. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for its pricing to be more cost-effective because some competitors have cheaper pricing, so McAfee Complete Data Protection can't compete. Sometimes, some new vendors offer other solutions rather than McAfee Complete Data Protection, to win customers over, and this is a loss for McAfee."
"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."
"For USB protection, the stability has been very poor, actually, over the past year."
"The drive side encryption can be confusing to use and needs better documentation."
"Some clients still receive spam and malware in their attachments, so the data protection isn't working correctly. We have configured it and enabled the features in the client's system, but some policies have failed to work once or twice."
"The only thing that I think could be improved is the data classifier."
"There are compatibility issues with the Chrome browser."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly"
"Having a single command to encrypt a table would be an improvement."
"Encrypting a single column is straightforward, but encrypting at the table level requires more work and takes longer to complete."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We currently have a contract option with McAfee Complete Data Protection."
"When it comes to pricing, I've observed an increase recently."
"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."
"The pricing is quite reasonable compared to other vendors."
"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 pricing is better than that of some competing products."
"The solution is affordable"
"McAfee Complete Data Protection is a little bit expensive."
