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. 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.

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.

Provides robust compliance with advanced threat protection and user-friendly interfaces

The features of Netwrix Endpoint Protector that I have found most valuable so far are the two main key modules which are Content Aware Protection (CAP) and Device Control (DC), which is the hottest selling item from my perspective as a consultant. I find CAP and DC valuable because they are very granular in nature and it's easily understood and easily configured. That's why it's easy for us to actually position this product to any organizations with no complications. My impression on the multi-layered protection features of this solution is quite positive because now they've expanded to more things in the DLP itself, that are as good as an enterprise DLP solution. Therefore, I feel that in terms of its pricing values and so on, it is very competitive. I assess the value of the comprehensive reporting and auditing capabilities provided by Netwrix Endpoint Protector as very good because I am a user myself prior to this, before becoming a reseller and now a distributor. I am actually a walking dictionary for this particular product. The comprehensive reporting and auditing capabilities are quite granular in terms of gaining insights. We can actually deep dive into quite a lot of things and find a lot of information that they already have. Assuming if there's a breach, we will be able to know exactly where the breach has occurred and what has occurred, and they are quite granular in how they report their information, including their logs. Therefore, they conform to all compliance regulatory bodies too. My impression of the centralized management console feature of Netwrix Endpoint Protector is that it is one of the simplest centralized monitoring features that even a kid would understand, which is what we need in today's world—nothing complicated. My impression of the data encryption and control over portable storage devices features of this solution is that they are very good, especially the device controls, which I really enjoy using, particularly when it comes to portable devices USBs and the encryption tools that they have, which is another module called E-lock, or enforce encryption, that they do have. They are well-protected along those lines.

Senior Technical Engineer at Safezone Secure Solutions Private Limited

Distributors highly benefit from advanced data monitoring and seamless integration features

The Machine Learning capability could be improved, particularly in data discovery. When given sensitive data expressions, the system retrieves files that are not always related. The system should adhere strictly to the given expression rather than just focusing on keywords within the expression. In endpoint features, while the detection rate is good, there could be improvements in remediation and rollback solutions during attacks. Other solutions now include such options since providing 100% security is impossible. The flexibility varies across environments. Enterprise customers find the product performs well without affecting their data, with scans running as scheduled. However, SMB customers experience some performance issues during scanning. Since EDR is integrated, users must access the EDR console to check endpoint detections. It would be beneficial if this functionality were incorporated within the EPO console, as the current threat graphs link doesn't display endpoint threat graphs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"The blocking feature is very good."

"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."

"Clover is the best product globally."

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

"I'm very satisfied with the environment and the dashboard."

"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."

More Cloudflare One pros

"The device control is a big deal for us because we can actually lock out removable drives and different types of hardware. It allows us to have better control over what end-users plug into their computers, and we can have deny lists and tighten our security posture."

"The most valuable feature is device control."

"The product is forward-looking, in my opinion, which is a requirement nowadays."

"The role-based access features for the teams that administer it is good."

"The most valuable aspects of the solution is the device control, which manages any portable device connected to the endpoint, and content-aware protection, which controls data in motion from the endpoint to outside, like when users try to upload data to a web browser or an instant messaging application."

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

"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."

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

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pros

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

"It is a very stable solution."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"Preventively blocking any type of data leakage, whether via USB devices, peripheral devices, cloud applications, or through any web application, is what I consider to be the best features that Trellix DLP offers."

More Trellix DLP pros

Cons

"Feedback could be enhanced."

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

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

More Cloudflare One cons

"The reports and analysis could be improved. There could be a little more data, and the logs could be a little more granular, but it's nothing major. It does what it needs to do, and it's fine."

"I would rate the role-based access features for administrators a six out of ten. There's work to be done on the granularity of roles that can be assigned to an administrator but there is role-based administrator access present. That's why it's not a zero rating."

"If CoSoSys comes up with a suite of Host DLP, along with Network DLP and SaaS DLP, it will cover all of the aspects of a DLP solution."

"Endpoint Protector, in particular, had some features to be desired for the Mac operating system."

"One of the areas where there is room for improvement is support. It takes time for them to respond. They need to respond on time. Instead of sending an email, I think it would be very helpful to say, 'Let's set up a WebEx to see what's really going on,' instead of the back and forth of email."

"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."

"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."

"Sometimes, it should try to focus on one thing rather than multiple things. Endpoint Protector does device control very well, which is why we use that particular function."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector cons

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

"When cases are raised, partners perform initial L1 or L2 troubleshooting. However, ticket resolution times are often too long, with new engineers sometimes requesting the same logs repeatedly."

"Virtualization is complex and requires proper training. However, once you get trained, it is a very good product."

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

"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."

"Trellix needs to improve customer support."

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

"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."

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 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 solution is not that expensive."

"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 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 pricing is reasonable for this particular market."

"The pricing depends on the customers."

"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."

"The product has average pricing."

"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."
