Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management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

Pros

"McAfee has very good support."
"It worked for me: it's easy to use and has been very effective."
"With McAfee Complete Data Protection, you can managed all your security solutions from one single server and one interface. This might be the most powerful advantage of McAfee's solution."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection is the best product on the market and I recommend it."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection provides stability and is a good product."
"Complete Data Protection lets us define roles in our data products. It helps us identify something suspicious on the client's device."
"I don't need to have any interaction with this product, which means that it is very, very good, and it is doing its job."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables."
 

Cons

"They must improve or address USB-bound viruses and external media-bound viruses properly in McAfee Complete Data Protection."
"The changes I would suggest for McAfee Complete Data Protection involve its global control capability."
"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."
"They need to segregate McAfee Complete Data Protection for endpoints and servers."
"The price could be improved."
"The solution needs a next generation or AI firewall that doesn't rely on signatures to detect traits."
"The UI could be improved a bit."
"There was an option for SQL setup in the older versions of this product and it has been removed, but we would like to see it made available as an add-on."
"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."
"Having a single command to encrypt a table would be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is reasonably priced."
"McAfee Complete Data Protection is a little bit expensive."
"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."
"When it comes to pricing, I've observed an increase recently."
"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 price of this solution needs to be improved."
