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.

We found the incorporated system of both AV and Encryption to be an absolute breath of fresh air for us. It is great for small and mid-sized companies. We rolled this out across our 4 global regions. We created region-specific groups for our endpoints and placed the appropriate endpoints into those groups. [Then] we defined policies for AV and Encryption that would be used inter-region and assigned roles to the different regions' support staff. Great stuff.

  • Interface is a little difficult to get Hands On. It can be simplified for better adaptability
  • XDR compatibility should be enhanced
  • More simplified white-books should be provided to train the non tech teams
  • Commercially also the cost should be improved for different industry segments

The experience was amazing for us. The ease of deployment acted as a catalyst for us to make it easier to use. The dashboard had a lot of things that tempted us to implement those features which we did not even knew when we signed up for this product. At start it was a little difficult for us to give KT to non tech teams, but over the period of time the ROI and all our threats were treated well

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.

Return on Investment
CoSoSys
  • 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
