Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Data protection has improved as we restrict uploads to third-party sites and control devices

We are using customizable policies in the product. Everything is fine regarding alerting and reporting features; we got a notification as well as we received the required events, and it is working well. McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is different; whatever the logs are there, they are available on the ePO, so we cannot directly integrate DLP to any third-party tool. We need to actually integrate the ePO itself to enable integration. We are just restricting data to be uploaded, which is the best option that allows us to control organizational data, making it the biggest benefit for us in McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention. We are protecting data to be uploaded on third party URLs, which helps us meet our needs.

Distributors highly benefit from advanced data monitoring and seamless integration features

The Machine Learning capability could be improved, particularly in data discovery. When given sensitive data expressions, the system retrieves files that are not always related. The system should adhere strictly to the given expression rather than just focusing on keywords within the expression. In endpoint features, while the detection rate is good, there could be improvements in remediation and rollback solutions during attacks. Other solutions now include such options since providing 100% security is impossible. The flexibility varies across environments. Enterprise customers find the product performs well without affecting their data, with scans running as scheduled. However, SMB customers experience some performance issues during scanning. Since EDR is integrated, users must access the EDR console to check endpoint detections. It would be beneficial if this functionality were incorporated within the EPO console, as the current threat graphs link doesn't display endpoint threat graphs.

"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."

"The capabilities of the software are strong enough for me to do what it's supposed to do. For me, we don't need to do a lot of configuration on our site. We just enable it and monitor it."

"The best feature is rate limiting. If I'm expecting 500 visits per hour, Cloudflare will limit the requests if I suddenly get 50,000."

"Enables me to work from two locations."

"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable features as almost no effort was needed to learn the configurations. It is also one of the cheapest firewalls available in this category."

"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is a very stable product."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention pros

"The solution involves implementing the confidentiality, utility, and availability principles."

"It is a very stable solution."

"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."

"I am satisfied with stability as there are not any latencies."

"The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do. It is fairly simple to use compared to Proofpoint."

More Trellix DLP pros

Cons

"They don't have a person to provide support for customers using the solution under their free plan."

"Feedback could be enhanced."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."

"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."

"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."

"The response time for support must be reduced."

"Lacks a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."

More Cloudflare One cons

"Our client is not very happy with the lack of support, the skills, and the effectiveness of the tool."

"In my experience, it's not really user-friendly for me, in terms of how I navigate with the ePolicy Orchestrator. They need to upgrade their management console."

"The user interface is messy and could be simplified."

"I would like the solution to improve the AI features for anti-virus detection. I also want the software to include a tool for malware detection."

"The interface can be improved, it's too cluttered."

"Integration with other vendors could be improved. For example, with Chrome or Firefox."

"The solution needs to be a one-stop protection shop, and yet the DLP isn't strong; anyone can break it quite easily."

"The support from McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is good. However, if they provided 24 hours a day seven days a week support that would be a helpful addition."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention cons

"The main challenge we face is with our on-premises Trellix DLP implementation. While we can push the agent, we cannot apply the policy on Azure systems."

"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."

"The management aspect is that its management is proprietary. You cannot integrate it with other platforms like a SIEM or with XSOAR."

"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."

"If I compare Trellix DLP with other solutions such as Forcepoint, Trellix DLP isn't up to the mark."

"Coverage for Mac OS is lacking as features like clipboard and print protection don't function as expected."

"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"I would rate the solution seven out of ten based on my last experience within the last six months. It's a bit of a fallback, and I know they are working on improving scalability."

More Trellix DLP cons
