Dell Data Protection | Encryption Enterprise Edition (DDPE) vs. Trustwave MailMarshal

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.

In a medium company, it is suited since the cost can be high for a smaller one.

I think there are better and more complete products for companies with higher volume or levels of confidentiality. While it is a good product, today there are several that exceed it in quality and functionality.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• By having the physical appliance, it is more granular the control that is had of the users, which also accelerates the speed of detection of threats.
• The few options of DLP that it has are very useful when filtering sensitive data, but I stress "few".
• The interface is intuitive, but for more advanced options, it requires a higher than average knowledge of these systems.

Incentivized

• The encryption policies require careful configuration to avoid damaging the system
• Encryption does not play nice with Windows OS updates

Incentivized

• I know it is not a DLP since there is another specific product for it, but they could do it just a little easier for the average user.
• An intuitive interface in a broader aspect, not only in the basic functions.
• The option only in the cloud is good, but only the appliance offers all the functionalities.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

Unfortunately all these products are better in almost all aspects. It is not to discredit the Trustwave, but they have much to improve in this area.

Incentivized

• Added security to physical disks and removable media
• Protects with very powerful ATP

Incentivized

• While it is a good product, today there are several that exceed it in quality and functionality.
• In a medium company it is correct, since the cost can be high for a smaller one and it is not worth it.
• It is a basic product, compared to others of the same type
