Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys vs. Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite, with XGen

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.

The best [way] for Trend Micro [Smart Protection Suite, with XGen] to stand out, would be to install it throughout the network, both computers and servers[.] I recommend this solution for both small companies and very large companies since currently the security of our data is very critical and many times the costs that they lead to when suffering from an attack are too high. [A] system like this is worth investing in.

I have only had to contact technical support once, which in itself shows what a good product this is, and I received spot-on advice from the person I contacted.

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.

Everything I've used and installed before and since has been easier to implement and support. TM had attractive pricing, however, that was negated by the overall experience.

• 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

• We have stopped multiple infections of ransomware from spreading.
• Lost some productivity when database crashed
• Updates tend to slow system down
