Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 3, 2024

Netwrix Endpoint Protector and Trellix DLP compete in the data loss prevention category. Trellix DLP seems to have the upper hand due to its integrated toolset and extensive feature set, offering a single console for endpoint security and additional enhancement features like AI/ML analytics.

Features: Netwrix Endpoint Protector provides Device Control, Content-Aware Protection, and role-based access, supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux. It offers granular policy management to prevent unauthorized data sharing and system access. Trellix DLP features comprehensive DLP capabilities and integration, providing a single console for endpoint security combined with AI/ML analytics, enhancing data protection efficiency.

Room for Improvement: Netwrix Endpoint Protector needs network-level DLP enhancements and more customization options, especially for Linux. Users report issues with installation on older systems and desire improved policy management. Trellix DLP lacks Linux compatibility and multiple architecture support. Its UI could be more user-friendly, and users request better encryption support in cloud solutions and quicker support response times.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Netwrix Endpoint Protector supports on-premises and public cloud solutions, excelling in diverse environments with strong customer support. However, improvements are needed in the installation process and support responsiveness.

Pricing and ROI: Netwrix Endpoint Protector is seen as budget-friendly with reasonable pricing, though some users noted unexpected price increases. It offers ROI by aiding compliance and management simplicity. Trellix DLP's pricing is variable and considered expensive by some, yet provides significant ROI through comprehensive protection and operational efficiency.

It's easy to set up because you point the DNS to it, and it's working in under 15 minutes

Cloudflare is highly scalable. Cloudflare is a system with a web portal that the end users like me see. It's a console where we can adjust the DNS, caching, and security features all in that console. Cloudflare owns thousands of servers across the world that cache the data. It's a powerful solution. When clients sign up for Cloudflare, they're getting this monster content delivery network, security, and a web application firewall in one. It's all rolled into one, and it's massive. Unless you have your website hosted on a massive hosting provider, there's no way that you can deliver the amount of data that Cloudflare can provide to the end users. If you have static content, there's no way that you can ever match what Cloudflare can do. Obviously, there are competitors to Cloudflare that do the same, but I'm saying other types of solutions. Let's say you go with F5. Great, that's on-prem. That's in your colo. You can't deliver as much data to the internet as you can with a CDN. You don't have to spend $20,000 on a net scaler, F5, or whatever Cisco's selling now. You don't have to buy that. You pay them $50 a month or $150 a month. It's totally worth it because even in five years, you'll never get the performance value, not just the actual ROI. You have to consider how much throughput you can get with Cloudflare.

Block USBs and manage ports effectively across multiple OS platforms

There is an important feature that needs to be added. In Linux, it is difficult to control uninstallation. Users can uninstall it at any time, and we can only monitor that it is uninstalled. If there is a feature that can notify in the master dashboard that an agent has been uninstalled, it would be very beneficial.

Implements confidentiality principles effectively

Over the years, a lot has changed, so it is not that much at the moment. I know they are all working on changing the look and feel, the UI. It is always good to have a more modern look and feel than the old-school square blocks. Other than that, it's mainly support. Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies. It's not always the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features of Cloudflare were found to be more beneficial and led to the decision to utilize it over other options."

"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."

"The tool is user-friendly."

"Its most significant benefit to date is the speed with which it refreshes DNS records on the internet once you change it. If you are changing a website or registering a new record, it is very quick."

"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."

"It's very user-friendly."

"New and innovative way to protect the client's data."

"I get a lot of value from Cloudflare's API because it enables you to build a separate environment inside the solution. You can create a domain for performing test requests before you move to the production environment and connect various domains."

More Cloudflare pros

"It is fantastic in terms of the granularity of the policies. It has many built-in policies, and we can add or create more policies as well. It is perfect, and it gives us more options. We have some users who go outside and then come inside. With EPP, we can even control those users who are outside. If they need to access the media that we are using right now, we can provide OTP messages so that they can access the media even when they are outside of their organization. With our previous solution, we were facing some issues in doing this."

"The most valuable features are the ability to prevent access to external devices, and also site blocking."

"There are a lot of features, but the main feature is that I can use a device serial number to unlock any particular machine or for all machines. If I have a phone, like a Samsung phone, I can whitelist that specific phone for full access wherever it is plugged into any of our devices. This is the same with a USB, because most USBs come in bulk and have the same serial number. I can then whitelist that particular USB to be read-write with full access."

"All of the features are effective, but the highlight feature of the product was the data layer inspection. When we talk about a DLP product, data packet inspection is very important. Securing data at rest is easy, but securing data in transit is challenging. We used it comprehensively to secure end drives, data transfers, secure hard drives, and end-user machines. It proved monumental in our operations."

"It also provides us with the ability to lock down a wide variety of USB devices, which is pretty important because we don't want certain data accessed. It does a really good job when it comes to the versatility of the exit points it supports, making sure that important data does not leave our organization."

"One unique feature is drive encryption. We have portable devices, and they have a password vault. If you transfer any data to your device, you can use the password vault to protect it."

"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to support Linux operating systems."

"It is easy to manage the DLP between MacOS and Linux."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pros

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."

More Trellix DLP pros

Cons

"Cloudflare doesn't have a reverse lookup. We can only do a DNS lookup to get the IP address from the hostname. It doesn't work if you want to look up the hostname from an IPA address."

"The solution could use more analytics on the backend to give us more insights into everything. More reports would be helpful."

"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."

"For large enterprises, the pricing is okay. However, the enterprise price for small projects is a bit high. A mid-tier pricing option would be beneficial."

"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."

"It should confirm audit findings of the assigned area with auditees to ensure that the audit conclusions are based on an accurate understanding of the issues."

"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."

"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."

More Cloudflare cons

"The only aspect that prevents it from being a perfect solution is the occasional slower response time."

"Endpoint Protector would be improved with more DLP templates."

"It would be better if they had an inbound restriction feature. For example, I work out of my home from my personal computer. All my policies can be deployed while working. When I am done, I should be able to use my machine as my personal machine, and all these policies should be waived. In the next release, I want time bound restriction of the policies because most of these users were working out of home and using their personal computers."

"We are using it to only apply media restrictions. When we are installing a new agent, we have to install EPP manually on a device. It would be great if the installations can be done from the server instead of me going to each PC or device to implement EPP or using a policy. They should have some sort of system so that a domain admin can install EPP on all PCs from a central manager."

"Currently, for additional applications that need monitoring by the EPP, a request must be made to their technical support. It would be beneficial to add a feature allowing users to manually add applications for monitoring without depending on the vendor."

"I have faced issues which shouldn't be related to this product. This product is purely a DLP, so it should only protect my data. I don't know what is happening with their agent or what is happening with the software, but it messes up my endpoint. For example, people are facing bandwidth issues. Before I deployed this on an endpoint, people were getting internet speeds of 40 or 50 Mbps. After deploying it, that would come down to 10 Mbps. And if I uninstalled the agent, it would go back to 50 Mbps."

"They have many predefined classifiers in terms of data identifiers, and they should improve this."

"We are currently facing an issue where it is blocking the Winman software, which is something that we don't want to happen because we use it in our accounts department to pay taxes."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector cons

"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."

"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."

"Trellix needs to improve customer support."

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

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

"The main issue I have currently is with technical support."

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

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

More Trellix DLP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."

"The product's pricing is cheap."

"The pricing depends on the usage, but the cheapest would be around 5,000 USD a month."

"We are using the free version."

"A free version of the solution is available."

"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."

"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."

"It's a premium model. You can start at zero and work your way up to the enterprise model, which has a very high pricing level."

More Cloudflare pricing and cost advice

"When I last renewed the license it was for a two-year term, and they gave me the second year at half price."

"[The pricing] is reasonable compared to what's out there."

"I don't have any issue with the licensing and pricing. I would love for it to be cheaper, but at the same time I'm getting a lot from it."

"The pricing depends on the customers."

"The pricing is reasonable for this particular market."

"The price of Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys is more or less the same as other competing solutions."

"The product has average pricing."

"For what it's doing, the cost is somewhat high for us, but it's the cost of doing business with the clients that we have."

Reviews from real users

“Many websites require an SSL certificate because they sell stuff and want SSL. Cloudflare
comes with an SSL certificate built in. It's automatic. You sign yourself up for Cloudflare, and
an SSL certificate automatically protects your website. If you have a connection between your
website and your host, the server, Cloudflare, and the host, you don't necessarily need a
certificate.” Spencer M., Owner at Tech Exchange

“What I like best about Cloudflare is that my company can use it to trace and manage
applications and monitor traffic. The solution tells you if there's a spike in traffic. Cloudflare
also sends you a link to check your equipment and deployment and track it through peering,
so it's a valuable tool.” Daniel P., Network Engineer at Ufinet

“The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very
well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service.” PeerSpot user, Competence Center Manager at a tech services company
