    Cisco Cloudlock is a good fit for my organization consisting of 150 end users. While we have a small office product that can expand to cover any size organization, I would assume the overhead to monitor would increase. While my organization's business is in real estate, I would highly recommend this for all businesses that handle sensitive and private data. Being able to monitor our cloud infrastructure has allowed our security team to be more flexible in allowing approved users access as well.

    Cofense Phishing Defense Center (PDC) has saved our team copious amounts of time that we would usually have to spend sifting through all of the hundreds of emails that are reported each day. Having a dedicated team to sort the true positives from the false positives gives ample amount of time to triage the more severe threats that have been reported.

    • For implementation of DLP we had to hire a expert it took a lot of time to set up.
    • Support [in my experience] is not good.

    They are very quick to respond and go the extra mile to help address our issues. That said, we've only needed them at the early stages of implementation for support help and occasionally when we want to do a full re-scan of our site. They are very flexible in working with us on the timing of such scans.

    Amazon Macie is limited to an AWS environment and fulfills some of the same functions that CloudLock does in SaaS products. Both are very valuable tools, so the decision is not really which to use, but whether to use both for their respective environments. In general I feel CloudLock is a more powerful tool because it connects to Microsoft 365, which is more business critical for our organization, but that really is a personal call.

    This product just successfully conquers its competitors and alternatives. This is because upgrades and improvement in software play a very important role, as with upgrades, a user feels connected with the platform. No one likes using outdated software, so [...] I find this product to be the best option out of all, as it is continuously in the race [to become] the best. I always see some upgrades [...] which makes me a happy user, unlike other alternatives.
