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.

Insider threats have been detected faster and internal data exposure is now controlled

Regarding how Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be improved, sometimes the tool is slightly laggy, wherein it would take some time for us to fetch the related logs from the Mimecast portal, and that of course can be improved. There could also be a graph or a kind of a graph where, if the organization has a smaller number of employees, it is fine, but if it has a large number of employees and different departments, then in that case, Mimecast could give us an AI suggestion upon how to improvise the current security posture, how we stand and where we can go up to in terms of implementing or tweaking the policies. As the organization's size gets bigger, it would also be better if Mimecast could provide some solutions upon how to segregate the users into groups and what groups can have which policies. Those kinds of features can be added. Regarding Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection's AI capabilities, I think its governance and security could improve as I am not entirely sure how it works. It would be helpful if Mimecast could, as the AI capabilities are in place, maintain a strict governance policy upon the data that is being processed, especially for user personally identifiable information. As insider risk management sometimes also gets into the personal details of the user, organizations might be hesitant; even we are also hesitant to use the AI capabilities. If Mimecast could provide more information about how they store the data and whether the agents are local agents or cloud-hosted agents, that would be of great help for the organizations to consider its AI capabilities while adhering to the compliance needs of a particular organization.

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.

Pros

"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."

"The blocking feature is very good."

"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."

"Cloudflare is simple to use."

"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."

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

"Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."

"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."

More Cloudflare One pros

"Customer service is amazing with Code42, as everyone is very willing to help, very professional, and they take pride in their product and see this as a value."

"Code42 CrashPlan is by far the best data backup solution on the market."

"We were using piecemeal procedures that failed more than it saved data."

"Set and forget. Easy to install and update."

"Compared to all other backup solutions that I have encountered, Crashplan is a pleasure to use."

"Risk factors can be adjusted for all intricate details."

"Some of the most valuable assets that I have found are just the ease of use of the product and that I can access the files anywhere."

"Customer service is great; the best I have had with any company."

More Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection pros

"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."

"Trellix's technical support deserves a perfect rating, and I would rate it ten out of ten compared to other solutions."

"Trellix DLP offers many features, using EDR, EPP, disk encryption, and other features."

"Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard."

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

"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

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

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

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

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

"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."

"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."

"Cloudflare One is not very powerful, but for what we require, it is basic and sufficient."

"The response time for support must be reduced."

More Cloudflare One cons

"I would highlight reporting and analytics improvement. While the dashboard looks great, getting highly customized reports out of the system without using an external API can be difficult."

"I am waiting for them to develop an app that can be installed on a smartphone or tablet that backs up the data as it does for computers."

"More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD)."

"Java, please get rid of Java."

"We had one server that has tendency to make the client stop, but usually fixes itself if you give it a few hours."

"Other than licensing issues and limited amount of data storage, but that is expected with scaling."

"Reporting could use an overhaul. It is very limited."

"It's a bit thick, so it takes time for admins to utilize full capabilities of the product."

More Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection cons

"It's not very user-friendly for a beginner, so it would be easier if the platform or console were manageable or user-friendly. The dashboard could be simplified."

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

"Coverage for Mac OS is lacking as features like clipboard and print protection don't function as expected. The agents often affect endpoint performance negatively and do not behave consistently across all machines."

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

"Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies."

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

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

More Trellix DLP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."

"The solution is not that expensive."

"It was expensive. It was more expensive than Eureka, and it was more expensive than Barracuda Backup, but what we got was a full team. They didn't come in and nickel and dime us. They provided the assistance we needed. They didn't say that they need to charge us for something or it is going to take another statement of work. It was all bundled into it... We pay for the software maintenance. It is probably 18% or 20% of the license fee for rev releases."

"It is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."

"The pricing is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."

"They were the best solution and surprisingly enough, the cheapest."

"It used to be a good solution for SOHO in particular as it had unlimited storage for a reasonable price. However, their pricing model has changed and they are now primarily targeting enterprise users."

"The pricing depends on the number of users in a company."
