Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management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 server software console is exquisitely designed and organized for handy access and manipulation by the administrator."
"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."
"We can use our devices more securely, therefore it protects us from data loss, and therefore, it's very helpful for us."
"The classification front-end and the features for the endpoint are great aspects of the product, it works absolutely fine for the customer requirements, it's user-friendly and easy to navigate, the initial setup is very easy, technical support is very helpful, the stability is good, and the product can scale."
"We can scale the solution."
"All features in this solution are valuable, but it depends on its function."
"It is capable of acting as Web control, Device Control, or Data Control."
"The interface is user-friendly and it provides a large number of options."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"I would like to see a bit more stability."
"The product consumes too much RAM and CPU, makes clones in the machine, and eats up resources."
"The price is a little high and could be better."
"The UI could be improved a bit."
"The refresh feature needs improvement. You need to refresh it manually yt going to the address bar, clicking on it and pressing enter, or pressing F5. There should be a button you can click on to refresh or have it so every five seconds it's refreshing."
"The changes I would suggest for McAfee Complete Data Protection involve its global control capability."
"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."
"Encrypting a single column is straightforward, but encrypting at the table level requires more work and takes longer to complete."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is good, it's a low-cost solution."
"The licensing is yearly."
"We currently have a contract option with McAfee Complete Data Protection."
"The pricing is quite reasonable compared to other vendors."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The solution is affordable"
"The pricing is better than that of some competing products."
"The pricing of the cloud offering seems confusing."
