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. Trellix DLP also supports on-premises and hybrid cloud deployments, noted for ease of deployment but concerns exist over the heavy setup workload and the need for better customer service and communication.

Pricing and ROI: Netwrix Endpoint Protector is seen as budget-friendly with reasonable pricing, though some users noted unexpected price increases.

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.

Ensures seamless real-time alerts and smooth deployment with room for Linux functionality improvement

The licensing issue was eventually resolved by the team, but the Linux client issue persisted. Not all the policies applied to the Linux clients were as effective as those for Mac and Windows. That was somewhat of a downside for us. I cannot speak to whether they have improved this in the past two years. An area for improvement is that when a package is provided, there should be no additional elements required from the user's side. For instance, there is an activation key, and you have to specify the host where you need to redirect and fetch the license. That was disappointing when it comes to mass deployment.

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

"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."

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

"Cloudflare Access is part of the Zero Trust philosophy."

"It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it."

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

"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."

More Cloudflare One 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."

"My advice for anybody who is considering this product is that if they want something to protect data on both Macs and PCs then this is a very good choice."

"If you need a good DLP software to protect your data, I recommend that you go for CoSoSys without any second thought."

"The most valuable features are Device Control, Content-Aware Protection, Enforced Encryption, and eDiscovery."

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

"The search for keywords is very important in our security operations because one of the key use cases we had was for the ability to search keyword-based on an internal database of keywords that have been submitted by other project managers within the company that's around intellectual property. The ability to search on keywords was part of that."

"Endpoint Protector has given us wonderful attention and they've considered us a partner in developing our product."

"When the implementation occurred, we were functional within a month, with no need for follow-up support."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pros

"The solution is stable and does not have glitching issues."

"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."

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

"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 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."

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

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

"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."

More Trellix DLP pros

Cons

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."

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

"The response time for support must be reduced."

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

"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."

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

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."

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

More Cloudflare One cons

"The areas of Netwrix Endpoint Protector that need to be improved include a desire for more graphical interfaces in their systems, as many people today would prefer to see graphical formats for data presentation."

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

"One of the areas where there is room for improvement is support. It takes time for them to respond."

"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."

"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."

"When we need to uninstall and reinstall on XP or Windows 10, we have serious issues left in the Registry Editor everywhere."

"The policy engine could use a bit of work. It's somewhat lacking in terms of the granularity of the policies that you can create."

"It would be helpful if you could purchase a smaller number of licenses at one time."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector cons

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

"Trellix needs to improve customer support."

"The bugs need improvement."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Trellix DLP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

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

"The solution is not that expensive."

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

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

"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."

"The software comes with a higher price tag when compared to other DLP solutions."

"The pricing depends on the customers."

"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."

"We have a limited budget for our media section. When we purchased it last year, we migrated from a different solution to this solution, and at that time, they told us that the cost will remain the same, but this year, they increased the price by 20% or something like that. I am not sure about the exact price, but let's say from 8,000, it increased to 10,000. It was a huge gap, and we couldn't bear this cost because we have a limited budget. When we spoke to them, they understood our problem and reduced it to the same price that we had last year."

"The minimum number of licenses they sell is 50 or 150 users."

"This is a budget-friendly solution that covers all the aspects of host-level DLP."

"The pricing is very competitive and is cheaper in comparison to that of other solutions. It makes it an easy decision to go with EPP for the data loss prevention infrastructure."
