Secures data loss for our law firm but has struggled with outdated, complex management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

"Complete Data Protection lets us define roles in our data products. It helps us identify something suspicious on the client's device."
"All features in this solution are valuable, but it depends on its function."
"The interface is very good. You can create and manage your own dashboard."
"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."
"Reporting and encryption are its most valuable features."
"So far, we are satisfied with the overall results and the product welcomed by end-users with few complaints."
"In the configuration, you can restrict a user from accessing a removable drive."
"The interface is user-friendly and it provides a large number of options."
"The Central Management server."
"The technical support is very good."
 

Cons

"We encountered several problems with the solution's stability."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly"
"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 UI could be improved a bit."
"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."
"For USB protection, the stability has been very poor, actually, over the past year."
"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."
"I don't like this solution because it is difficult to manage endpoints, policies, algorithm engines, and products."
"MacOS X is missing features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"McAfee Complete Data Protection is a little bit expensive."
"The cost of McAfee Complete Data Protection isn't that high but isn't that cheap as well, so it's in the middle."

"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 price of this solution needs to be improved."
"The solution is affordable"
