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.

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

"The most valuable feature is device control."

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

"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."

"The core of its value lies in obtaining logs remotely and exercising control over what employees can or cannot use."

"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."

"There are effectively two areas of DLP to look at from a technical perspective. One is how it performs the pickup of information traversing the system and the other is how the policy engine, which analyzes the data, works. On the first aspect, CoSoSys is probably best of breed for macOS because they're reasonably well-integrated into the operating system. They're looking at the file system operations level, not at the execution level."

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

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pros

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"The interface and dashboard are okay."

"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."

"Trend Micro has improved my client's organization by recovering malware disabled network adaptors from servers."

"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."

"The most values feature of this solution are the micro DLP features."

"Everyone can use this tool."

"We use Trend Micro mainly to monitor user activities, such as tracking the websites they visit and purchase items. Additionally, we focus on identifying and addressing antivirus threats. We used to explore a feature related to proxy but decided against it as an enterprise solution wasn't readily available for us. Our primary use of Trend Micro revolves around end-user security. Integration with Active Directory has proven beneficial, allowing us to easily push updates or changes directly from the console."

Cons

"There are times when the server needs to be updated, and it would help if I got a notification for when the newest version comes out, because at the moment, I'm going in every now and then and checking. Sometimes it comes out and I didn't know it had come out."

"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."

"When you want to uninstall and reinstall, there are a lot of issues. You have to do a lot of workarounds to reinstall Endpoint Protector. This is a major issue that we have constantly because we still have old systems with XP. While there are only very few, we need to run them because there are machines attached that only run on XP. When we need to uninstall and reinstall on XP or Windows 10, we have serious issues left in the Registry Editor everywhere. There is a lot of manual interference to get the reinstallation to work. For the uninstallation of Endpoint Protector, they need to work on this so it doesn't leave any leftovers behind."

"When we started, the price was reasonable, but it has been increasing over time."

"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."

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

"This product provides zero-day protection for macOS, although I'm currently dealing with an issue on the most recent rollout of the Endpoint client that doesn't seem to be fully functioning."

"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

"There is a need for more predefined templates in the DLP tool."

"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."

"The tool should improve its reporting functionality. We need a proper reporting feature in a DLP solution."

"They could improve the product's data loss policies."

"Needs a remote login option."

"Being able to specify an agent list, or client list, to allow support from outside of the organization, would be of benefit to this solution."

"In Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention, there is a need to improve the plug-in manager, as it is an area with shortcomings."

"It's hard for me to answer any questions about missing features. It's the outside companies who support us that manage this DLP solution at this moment."

More Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"Pricing is quite reasonable. For smaller organizations, it lets them get into the product domain, whereas a lot of vendors won't even talk to them. CoSoSys is just about at that sweet spot of being serious enough that you have to budget for it, but at the same time, affordable enough that the value is well worth it."

"The solution’s pricing is a normal industry standard and depends on customers and salespersons."

"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 pricing depends on the customers."

"We found the pricing pretty attractive. However, volume-based pricing wasn't available."

More Netwrix Endpoint Protector pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"The platform is expensive. We purchase its yearly license."

"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 relatively cheap so the pricing is okay."

"The product is worth the money you pay for it. It is not an expensive solution."

"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is expensive compared to other solutions."

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."

Now more than ever, your data is on the move—whether it’s on a laptop, flash drive, or moving across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. At any point along the way, your financial data, customer information, intellectual property, or trade secrets could be lost or stolen. Securing this data is further complicated by several growing risk factors:

Rapidly evolving compliance regulations and mandates, including GDPR
Continued growth of workforce mobility
Employees using their own mobile devices and consumer apps for work
Rising frequency of advanced persistent threats (APTs) and data breach incidents

To avoid the embarrassment, reputation damage, regulatory fines, and revenue loss, today’s enterprise must be able to identify, track, and secure all confidential data from multiple points within the organisation and in the cloud without impacting employee productivity and performance. In the past, many organisations tried traditional data loss prevention (DLP) solutions but found they were too intrusive, too complex to manage, and too costly to acquire, deploy, and maintain.
