Also, we must make sure our data that will not be shared. Because of regulation, DLP tool is a necessity. So, We used McAfee DLP Endpoint, then switched it to another DLP tool. Pros It's easy to use and customer support is enough. Upgrade or update DLP application is better than alternative products. If you want to create DLP rules, you will suffer. Cons McAfee DLP Endpoint does not have a discovery mode, OCR or AI based approach. It's not easy to update policies on DLP clients. Alternatives considered [Forcepoint DLP](https://www.capterra.com/p/170409/Forcepoint-DLP/)[Somansa DLP](https://www.capterra.com/p/192108/Somansa-DLP/) Reason for choosing Trellix Data Loss Prevention Endpoint Forcepoint DLP did not have official support in Turkey.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Gerente de Innovación Tecnológica Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It's not worth the effort required and computing resources consumed" October 5, 2018 3.0 We had a lot of problems with our customers since they wuld be working fine with our policy baselines, but then after activating a new customer specific rule, CPU usage would go to 100%. Basically, the most simple configuration change would trigger CPU usage to impossible levels. So we dumped the software for other vendors. Pros We can say that every feature McAfee says the product has, is there. And they kind of work as expected from a functional point of view. Cons Ok, every offered feature is there and it works. But, with two major drawbacks: the agent consumes an absolutely incomprehensible amount of CPU, which means the customer ends up asking us to disable some rules so the computers can be usable. Second, the complexity to make the features work is to much. We've been using McAfee for several years to provide managed services but for DLP we were forced to find other technologies. That was in early 2017, we have no intention of evaluating current versions. Review Source Brian K. IT Analyst Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Business Class DLP protects your customer and client information." February 28, 2018 5.0 Pros Works well behind the scenes and does what it promises. Able to filter out information being transmitted over email based on pre defined rules. Will catch valuable PCI data such as credit cards, social security numbers, account numbers. Cons There is a bit of a catch when setting the filters for SSN and CC. If you make the filtering too narrow you will end up catching a lot of information that was not intended. Of course people will always find new ways around security protocols, this DLP gives you the scalability you need. Review Source Adriana H.
