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.

Integrated controls have simplified compliance checks and have provided rapid audit readiness
In my opinion, the features of Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention are not very valuable compared to full DLP solutions such as those from McAfee or Symantec. This product is only suitable for compliance purposes. If you cover PCI requirements as a financial institution with a checkbox needed for your security audit, it performs very well at this. Basically, if the requirement fits within fixed rules with no need to customize to specific internal documents, it is a great product because of the ease of implementation. It is built-in with most Trend Micro products, so it is just a checkbox and a few clicks in the policy. For these purposes, it is great, but if you have confidential documents to protect, this is not exactly the right product. A few years back, say ten or fifteen years ago, Trend Micro had a standalone DLP product comparable in features to the leaders in the segment, but they decided to stop this product for some reason. The new one, built into other Trend Micro products, is not suitable for forensics, such as tracking who opened a document or who copied a confidential paragraph from a specific document. I do not know what could be improved about Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention. I was really a fan of the full-fledged product. I always tell prospective customers what exactly they can expect and never try to persuade them to choose Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention just because they ask for DLP. It is a niche product, similar to Microsoft DLP, which is also integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem. If the rules fit the specific scenario, it is great. However, if you need to protect specific documents or users, it is not exactly the best product for that purpose. If I consider the intended usage for Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention, I might rate it an eight, but if I evaluate it as a full-fledged DLP solution, I would say three. It is not marketed as a full-fledged DLP. It only integrates with specific regular expressions or keywords. If your needs are simple but you have to cover them due to some regulation, it is great, but for protecting confidential data or intellectual property, it is not the product for this use. For measuring the effectiveness of Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention in minimizing data leaks, I use speed, ease of implementation, and rapid ability to cover regulatory and compliance requirements, which it does really fast if you have such a scenario. However, protecting specific documents or intellectual property is not suitable and not intended for this use, so it is called DLP the other one, but it is not comparable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Client data recovery is possible without IT interaction for the savvy and medium savvy users, which lessens the load on our IT department."
"This is by far the best cloud-based backup solution."
"Seamless backup of our valuable data on mobile systems."
"Customer Service: Very high. The customer support folks we worked with were outstanding! Technical Support: Superb! Every time we call they answer and are ready to help."
"We are now able to keep our corporate data safe for those who don't work in a center with IT support."
"Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection's best features in my experience include user behavior analysis, the executive risk summary for stakeholders, the analysis tools available for engineers and technical people, and the responsiveness of support."
"The reason for us moving over to CrashPlan was cost and retention, as we saved the company $6000 a year using CrashPlan and no more "surprise, you are out of space" messages."
"One of the most stable software packages I have worked with in my 20 years in IT."
"The most values feature of this solution are the micro DLP features."
"The basic setup, like configuring servers or deploying the SaaS platform and agent implementation, is straightforward."
"Trend Micro DLP allows me to scan and monitor emails for specific words, ensuring compliance with data loss prevention policies."
"We are able to check the log and keep records."
"If your needs are simple but you have to cover them due to some regulation, it is great, but for protecting confidential data or intellectual property, it is not the product for this use."
"Everyone can use this tool."
"It is a scalable product."
"None of the Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention features worked well, but the solution had a straightforward setup."
 

Cons

"Download speeds could be faster when restoring from the cloud."
"It is not cheap, but when you can restore thousands of hours of work without issue, it does not matter so much."
"​Due to recent changes that effectively abandoned an entire segment of their user base, I no longer trust nor can recommend Code42 products."
"I'd like to see some better options with account management in the software and a simpler way to track where you are using licenses."
"In the places we have slower connections it has a time out problem."
"The support documents, although very thorough, can take a long time to read through; I would often prefer a simplified version."
"In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue."
"With Kaspersky AntiVirus on Windows we had one recurring issue that it started crashing the app, I actually try to exclude it and it keeps crashing until we reinstall the application."
"Having more features apart from what the product was designed for is what I'd like to see in its next release."
"There is a need for more predefined templates in the DLP tool."
"They could improve the product's data loss policies."
"Needs a remote login option."
"The platform's support structure for government-specific domain requirements could be improved."
"I'd rate the solution at three out of ten."
"We would like to see support for agentless service in the next release of this solution."
"The tool should improve its reporting functionality. We need a proper reporting feature in a DLP solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."
"The product is worth the money you pay for it. It is not an expensive solution."
"The licensing and pricing of Trend Micro are comparatively low and competitive since they are offered in a bundle, especially compared to Symantec, which was has a relatively high price."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The client needs to pay for the Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention license on an annual basis."
"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is expensive compared to other solutions."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap solution. I rate the solution's pricing a two on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"It's not too expensive, especially when compared to SecureTech, and Forcepoint. It's actually cheaper. A license costs about INR 4,000 to INR 5,000, roughly $60 per license per year. In comparison, Forcepoint licenses are around $90 to $95."
"It's relatively cheap so the pricing is okay."
