Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys vs. Keepit

Endpoint Protector [by CoSoSys] is well suited for an environment where a data loss prevention solution is required and many different operating system types are used. It is also well suited for an organization that has a need to deploy a solution quickly. Endpoint Protector is not well suited for companies that need to have an API or other integrations with other IT tools.

No need for level 3 backup engineers, with common sense the platform is useable for level 1-3. Keepit takes care of the hassle, no sizing of storage, complicated connectors, or whatever. Point and back up and let it do its job.

• Can be used remotely via public IP or VPN
• Integrates well with Active Directory
• Easy to deploy

• The initial setup is easy and straightforward.
• The GUI is very easy to use and you can select and restore the data you need very fast.
• The restoration of data is very fast.
• The support team is very helpful in case any problems arise.

Incentivized

• App integration - CoSoSys supports a lot of industry standard apps but fails to provide protection on 3rd party applications.
• Complete disk encryption.
• Web filtering features.

Incentivized

• Providing more information on an ongoing restore job. Once you begin a restore or a data import, it seems to be impossible to see which user account that job is tied to.
• Its job percentages seem to be drastically inaccurate. It will say a job is 76% complete even though it has only restored 484MB of 8GB - but this is just a little annoying and not a real problem.

until now, we are not planning to change to another product. the Office365 new inbuild data backup does not reach the capability of keepit so far.

Pretty easy to use and setup the backup. For restore there are some limitations and maybe sometimes its not clear how the result will look like in case of folder structure in exchange, especially when merging mailboxes.

Support helped us to set up SSO and MFA with our Azure AD Accounts. Once when the backup was failing, they could help us to investigate the reason and find a stale account that was preventing the backup. They are really concerned that the backup works and not only want to close the ticket like other support hotlines.

easy to implement, easy to use, runs smoothly

Endpoint Protector [by CoSoSys] was able to be installed on all major operating systems. Endpoint Protector was also able to perform block actions and do it at a granular level among the endpoints. Business needs required a traditional data loss prevention and Endpoint Protector met those needs. We had a need to block some USB storage events and Endpoint Protector met those needs.

Veeam is our current backup supplier for on-prem infrastructure, whilst we are aiming to reduce and move fully cloud in the next 12 months, we anticipate a bigger investment in keepit as this is more favorable for us.

• Didn’t work as expected
• Not sure yet if we are going to renew it, thankfully we didn’t make a 3 year contract required by them.
• The are not many options in the market for source code detection, so we may have to stick with it

Incentivized

• User productivity increase when the users didn't need to manually recreate data when it was lost. Estimation of past cases: 100,000 $ per year
• Company blackout on disasters: pricelessly :-)
• Admin cost reduction, no more tape changes and storage costs: 10,000 $ per year
