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
Usability
Alternatives Considered
USB Network Gate and BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management
Other Software Used
Netwrix Auditor, Specops Password Policy, ADP Mobile Solutions
Lots of improvements to be done
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
