    Check Point Endpoint Media Encryption and Port Protection (Pointsec) is well suited for Microsoft Windows environment. While, for MacOS it is less appropriate.

    Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is found to be well suited for our size company, and easily for smaller or larger companies as well. It does have a few places where improvements can be made, but at least it also asks you to provide feedback to Microsoft, which I have done with certain suggestions or complaints. However, overall it is a very thorough and useful tool when it comes to securing and defending yourself against trending threats.

    • It has been seamlessly working for us. We have not faced any issue as an end user. I've not faced many issues around accessing my apps, securely accessing and I've also seen certain links being blocked if I do not have correct access based on the security level that is defined for each user.

    Cons
    Check Point Software Technologies
    • Types of devices to control needs to be added like McAfee and GFI Endpoint Security.
    • Device whitelisting needs more granular level like by Vendor ID, Serial Number, Device ID etc.
    • Device Control and Media Protection on MacOS to be added.

    • I think it needs to be tuned correctly. For example, afterwards I tried to go in and print once after the implementation was done, I went in and tried to print a file or export a document. Just not possible, which just means it's great, works really well, but it also means that you have to tune your data categorization very carefully.

    Symantec Encryption, a few management points led me to evaluate and not go with it.

    Sentinel One. Well, we have two different products at the same time. Just see which one is the best fit for our business. So nowadays we're using both at the same time.

    • The positive aspect is the security of the employees, security of the data. There is no breach I can say. So it is a good impact. I mean there is not any bad or negative impact.
