Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I was looking for a DLP solution and Endpoint Protector happened not only to help with that, but also with the USB management piece. As a credit union we have a lot of sensitive data, so we need to be able to see it at rest and block it, and not only on-premises, by off-premises as well. A lot of people work remotely now and this solution is really working for me because once the endpoint is on there, I'm still in control.

Pros

Ediscovery
UBS Management
DLP

Cons

support
testing new release issue needs improvement
customer service response to ticket needs improvement
pricing

Return on Investment

I have definitely seen return on the investment when it comes to satisfying my auditors. I can show them I'm looking at all these things. And I'm protecting the credit union at the same time. It's really all worth it.
the product just work
customer support needs improvement

Pros

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

Cons

Source code detection is their selling point, they should fix all the problems
Copy/Paste, when you copy paste text, the control applies over the paste, this is correct, but when you copy files, the control is on the copy, not in the paste, so Incan not move protected content not even in a sub folder
Device protection shouldn’t be the main module, there are other software that handle devices, you should focus on DLP

Return on Investment

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

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This was implemented as our users have started to work from home and it was very much required to extend control and protection even when the users were working from home or when connected through any open WIFI terminals.

Pros

Data loss prevention.
USB control.
Application control.
Schedule based policies.

Cons

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.

Return on Investment

Positive - complete control on user's access medium.
Positive - single platform for controlling external devices as well as applications on a user system.
