DDPE replaces the former Credant products.N/A

    DDPE is great if you want very specific data encrypted and managed. It's flexible in terms of configuration but also can be quite a pain to get configured right. It requires a lot of exclusions and does not play nice with Windows Updates. Usually the client needs to be updated before updates on Windows can be installed and sometimes a new version is no where in sight. The ATP is great but also requires extensive configurations as otherwise it has way too many false positives.

    • Silent installation/uninstallation. It was very easy to deploy and remove the software remotely.
    • Transparent to users. Users did not see messages from the software or notice performance issues during encryption.
    • File or disk level encryption. Includes the option to do file or full-disk encryption to meet your organization's needs.

    If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for.

    We switched to McAfee Endpoint Encryption, which provides full-disk encryption. We saw fewer issues with McAfee Endpoint Encryption full-disk encryption than Credant full-disk encryption.
