Active@ File Recovery vs. Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys

Once I had some IT person who just assumed I have no valuable files on other partition, and this person formatted my entire PC. Even though I transfered all my important files from C partition for this reason. I was devastated, and more so that this young person told me the files can't be recovered. Lucky for me I remembered this software that we often use at work. I'm not sure for when it's less appropriate, it's not really a tool someone needs for every day use, but once it's needed it really solves what you need

I don't have a single most valuable feature. Every feature is really working for me. One of the reasons I bought it was for the USB block, but that's not as much a use case anymore since I have a lot of people working remotely. It's the DLP part that is more important to me right now, to pinpoint the data that's getting moved. The granularity enables me to not only see a file, but to read inside the file and pull out the data inside it. The granularity is really pretty good on that. It's very important. Let's say somebody just exported a file or emailed a file or uploaded a file on the internet. Seeing the inside of the file is really important to me. Whether it's encrypted or not, I still can see inside the file. I'm the only admin on it, but the role-based access is fine. I have one user that I give access to so he can just see device control and that's it. That's all I need him to see. I was able to do that, so I'm pretty happy with the role-based access. I use the solution's clipboard granularity feature to monitor copying and pasting to specific exit points, and it works great. People are trying to get the data any way they can, from the clipboard and things like that. I'm able to see it, report on it, and block it.

• The difference between Quick Scan, SuperScan and Last Chance is not exactly clear and it could be explained better

• Source code detection is their selling point, they should fix all the problems
• Copy/Paste, when you copy paste text, the control applies over the paste, this is correct, but when you copy files, the control is on the copy, not in the paste, so Incan not move protected content not even in a sub folder
• Device protection shouldn’t be the main module, there are other software that handle devices, you should focus on DLP

I previousely used EaseUS data recovery wizard which was free, and it was great for simple basic recovery. But when multiple people are working simultaneosly on a same project, it means a lot to have the ability to search for the specific file or folder with a quick scan. Since switching, this app has become a valuable tool in our asset
