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.

Integrated controls have reduced insider risk and now protect sensitive data across our workforce

One standout feature about Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is the tight integration with Insider Risk Management and Defender XDR, as it gives much better context during investigations instead of treating DLP as an isolated alerting tool. We also use endpoint DLP heavily to control USB, copy, print, clipboard, and browser upload activity, which has been very effective for remote workforce security. The best features Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention offers include real-time policy enforcement, endpoint DLP, and deep integration with Microsoft 365 plus Defender XDR. We also heavily rely on sensitive information type detection, adaptive policy tips, and insider risk integration to investigate suspicious user behavior with proper context. Another standout feature is the ability to control USB copy, browser uploads, print clipboards, and cloud sharing actions directly from endpoint policies. The integration with Microsoft Defender 365 and Defender XDR helps our team in day-to-day operations because DLP alerts are automatically correlated with endpoint identity, email, and user activity telemetry, which helps the SOC investigate incidents much faster from a single workflow. The sensitive information type detection makes a difference compared to other tools we have used because it is more effective than many legacy DLP tools. It understands context, exact data patterns, document labeling, and Microsoft 365 native content, reducing false positives while improving detection accuracy. Another strong feature of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is auto-labeling and policy inheritance with Microsoft's Information Protection, which helps maintain protection even after files are shared or moved across workloads. We also value the user coaching or policy tip capability because it educates users in real time instead of only blocking actions, which reduces repeated DLP violations significantly.

Has supported centralized management while needing improvements in feature depth

I have experience working with SentinelOne XDR, EDR, and XDR. Trellix DLP also offers EDR, XDR, and DLP solutions. The platform can be on the cloud, but the end users typically have their own devices installed with DLP on-premises. On a scale from one to ten, I rate Trellix DLP a seven.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."

"It will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."

"Enables me to work from two locations."

"We mostly use Cloudflare WAF, and gets basic Cloudflaire DDoS, caching as extra bonus . We like the factor these features are all integrated into 1 console, simple to manage."

"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."

"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."

"For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."

"Cloudflare is simple to use."

More Cloudflare One pros

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's ability to prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive information is valuable."

"There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems."

"The tool's most valuable feature is in the area of OCR."

"Earlier, our customers had no control at all over compliance, and confidential documents that were going out were not at all looked into, and Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention has been a huge benefit to our clients in this regard."

"When you are going to use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, most of the setup is already done by default as per your needs."

"The solution is very stable and extremely reliable."

"Because everything is on Microsoft and we use Azure, integration with the product is easier. That's the most important thing when you use many Microsoft products. It's easier to integrate everything in one place."

"For Purview's natively integrated compliance across Azure, Dynamics 365, and Office 365, I would give it a 10 out of 10. It provides all the insights and information."

More Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention pros

"The support from both the vendor and Trellix is excellent."

"Trellix DLP is a very good solution, easy to manage and handle, and newcomers find it user-friendly with an easy-to-use console and dashboard."

"The best thing about Trellix DLP is its unified console that allows us to manage all products from endpoint protection to email protection, DLP, and many more, including SIM."

"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."

"Trellix DLP has an agent that continuously scans the endpoint and sends the data to the portal. From there, it continuously leverages data from its threat intelligence."

"I rate the product an eight out of ten."

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

"Trellix DLP has really strengthened our security posture, we have seen a sharp decrease in data leaks and it has made compliance audits much smoother, plus, it has boosted trust with both our customers and our partners, which has been invaluable."

Cons

"When there are any dynamic changes in complex applications, the tool takes a lot of time, making its analytics-related area a major matter of concern where improvements are needed."

"Feedback could be enhanced. While I work efficiently with Clover as a partner in Mexico City, sometimes the information and requests are easier to manage with more concrete solutions."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

"The response time for support must be reduced."

"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."

"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."

"The onboarding process can be improved a little bit."

"There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved."

More Cloudflare One cons

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention could be improved with simpler policy configuration, a more robust reporting dashboard, and better support for third-party applications outside the Microsoft ecosystem."

"I see that there's a lot of content in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, and when I click on it and look around, I wonder what certain features do, but there's not enough documentation and explanation."

"We faced a performance issue with the tool when we didn't get alerts for file uploads."

"It could cover more solutions and technologies."

"There is a lot of ambiguity when you are setting up labels, such as sensitive information labels. It is a little daunting at first if you don't have prior knowledge, and there is a little bit of a learning curve for setting up the labels. Some of the setup wizards could be more helpful from an AI perspective. They can streamline the setup through more AI technologies so that you don't have to jump through so many hoops and different menus and dropdowns. It would be useful to have a setup wizard that is more hands-off and engaging for setting up the information type labels. If you tell them this is what we're trying to protect, it should basically start to lead you down that path of best practices. Such a feature would be great."

"The solution should provide better integration with other systems."

"I would say the improvement of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention could be in the propagation of policies, as if you create a policy, it may take up to 48 hours to propagate to devices, and this might take a little bit longer than ideal."

"To improve Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, I think it would be helpful if we could make bulk labeling easier, as it is a little cumbersome at the moment."

More Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention cons

"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."

"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."

"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."

"The bugs need improvement."

"During the initial setup of Trellix DLP, we faced challenges where the Trellix console buffers multiple times, taking time to reload when clicking on features, which needs improvement."

"Trellix DLP can improve by addressing the lack of features such as deep drive DLP and email notifications present in other solutions like Forcepoint."

"Trellix needs to improve customer support."

More Trellix DLP cons
