Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention vs. Trellix Mobile Security vs. Zscaler Data Security

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is well suited to provide a consistent user experience. So all the different products blend together quite well for an office environment. So Teams connects well with Office Outlook. It connects well with SharePoint. So we have a unique connectivity experience in terms of the digital experience of a typical user. And now, with Copilot, it's a great mix and blend that empowers users to adopt AI in their day-to-day office work. And I think that's great.

The program really excels at basic mobile protection against malware and viruses. It offers some unique features as its anti-theft application that can help keep mobile devices from being used by unauthorized users. It works well when providing basic security for mobile devices out in the field or in remote work situations. However, it companies may need more extensive or additional security applications to ensure adequate protection

Great for network DLP, web, and endpoint monitoring. DSPM data discovery works well for key structured and unstructured data sources. An area for improvement is simplifying the interface into a single pane for reviewing incidents and making it part of the tooling, rather than a separate module with a fee (incident receiver).

• Extensive library for data content classifiers.
• Strong integration with Microsoft products allowing effective controls to be applied (e.g. Exchange/M365 for email, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to control web, SharePoint/OneDrive to apply policies on sharing.)
• Insider Risk module provides visibility into suspicious activities which may not be detected by regular DLP rules.

• The program does well with virus and malware scanning abilities.
• It also has a unique anti-theft feature that can help secure mobile devices.
• The program offers multiple privacy roles that allows sharing of different levels of access to applications.

• If the policy is set correctly, it identifies DLP (Data Loss Prevention).
• Scanning zip files to find executables works really well.

• Overall, Microsoft DLP is not my number one choice because there's not much flexibility. There's a lot of restrictions and the way they set up rules a lot really restrictive. Thus it takes a lot more time for my team to build the rules and establish the controls as needed. So it's very clunky in that way and they have not improved it over the years, but I know they're trying to get a better, however it takes time because Microsoft, as we all knows, not a really security centric company.

• The program could use some improvement in its setup and installation process.
• Another area needing improvement could be its interactive interface.
• Perhaps a learning tutorial or guide could be added to the application.

• The DLP dictionary functions need to be expanded upon, such as matching all regex patterns with any phrases and vice versa. The only way to do this today is to create two dictionaries and then use an engine to combine them; however, this approach loses the ability to utilize proximity.
• Regex does not support lookaheads.

Just because it's so easy to navigate and, for the most part, even areas that I don't know about, the support channels are very clear and concise, and they respond very quickly to whatever I need. They'll guide me through whatever I don't understand, and sometimes there are a lot of things added in there.

Zscaler Data Protection is a complete solution for protecting your valuable data. No matter whether the data resides at your on-prem, cloud, or any workload or at the data center, Zscaler has a foolproof mechanism to protect it at any cost with zero tolerance. Also, Zscaler Data Protection has a perfect UI for deploying, managing, and maintaining our different kinds of environments. (e.g., On-Prem or Hybrid).

We are a complete Microsoft shop. Competitors, we have come across Symantec DLP, that's one. We've come across Nexscope DLP. I've personally migrated customers from Nextscope DLP to Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention. There is McAfee DLP as well, which we have worked with. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, definitely, because we don't require another agent to be deployed on Windows machines. It's part of the OS, easy deployment, easy onboarding. So also within email, SharePoint, OneDrive, customers don't have to build any other connectors. It's already integrated. All you have to do is start creating policies, start monitoring them. So the ease of deployment and integration across the Microsoft stack is what we like.

McAfee Mobile Data Protection offers basic security measures for mobile computing devices without a high cost or extensive training. However, it also may lack some needed features such as data encryption utilized by other products. While its interface is not perfect, it is easier to learn than more feature robust products on the market.

Thought about deploying zero trust cloud within our environment, but we are still in the early stages of our digital transformation projects. Still evaluating current options, but we knew Zscaler Data Security took a strict approach to data, so that's what we wanted to evaluate.

• From an ROI perspective, being able to have a robust DLP capability within 365 and with eShare, again, providing the defensive depth and keeping data 365 gives both us as well as our customers an ROI by being able to not use third party repositories to share data externally and by keeping data inside of 365. It gives me much more visibility into my data landscape. One of the things we advise our customers to do when they're starting to explore the advanced capabilities of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, for example, is to use that DLP product to monitor and understand the flows of sensitive data within the organization. By being able to look at that DLP, identify those sensitive niche types, and see which transactions occur internally within the organization, I get a clearer picture of what I'm doing.

• McAfee Mobile Data Protection provides a fairly easy and low cost security measure for providing basic to medium security for mobile devices. While not perfect, it does it basic job fairly well.
• The program may require a bit of a learning curve for some end users with its interface and installation processes. This may require some additional training or support.
• The program lacks some of the more advanced data protection abilities found in other competitor products. The result may be a need for additional security applications.

Incentivized

• Positive - Product reliability and effectivity.
• Positive - Deployment and securing the environment.
• Negative - Pricing are on higher side among the peers.
• Negative - Customer Support has to be improve with skill engineers.
