Overview

Product Information on Dell Data Protection

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Dell Data Protection?

Dell Data Protection is a software designed to secure and manage data across devices within an organization. The software provides features such as encryption, advanced authentication, and threat prevention to protect sensitive information both at rest and in transit. It enables the enforcement of security policies, management of encryption keys, and compliance with regulatory requirements, addressing business challenges related to data breaches and unauthorized access. Dell Data Protection integrates with endpoint management systems and works with various operating environments, supporting organizations in maintaining data confidentiality, integrity, and availability as part of their information security strategy.

Dell Data Protection Pricing

Dell Data Protection software uses a subscription-based pricing model, typically structured per user or per endpoint, with fees varying according to selected features and deployment scale. The software offers different tiers based on included data encryption, backup and recovery functions, and management capabilities. Pricing may also differ depending on deployment method, such as cloud or on-premises.

“Malware protection is comprehensive however support for issues faced is poor. ”

3.0
Sep 6, 2018
Have experienced only the signature-less anti-malware solution which is powered by Cylance not the other components such as encryption etc. Anti-malware capability is excellent including zero-day attacks, older versions do protect against WannaCry etc. and need not wait an update. Deployment tools need to improve since it still uses batch files for installation and requires a number of pre-requisites for Windows 7 systems which the installation batch file does not detect.

Dell Data Protection Likes & Dislikes

Like

Customer support was amazing and our implementation team was available any time we have questions or concerns. The product itself was easy to use and intuitive for both administrator and end user.

Like

The ability of the production to detect and prevent zero-day attacks and newer malware even though the production was running an older update. Size of updates is extremely small and updates are only 2-3 times a year eliminating the need for frequent, daily updates.

Like

The system provides a clear, detailed web console for easy endpoint configurations. There are screens that show endpoint statistic related to last device check-in and encryption status. Reports and Alerts can be set to notify when a device has not checked in during a specified time frame. Technical support is good and technicians are responsive and effective in getting issue resolution.

Dislike

In my time using the product, I did not have any dislikes.

Dislike

Deployment tools are using batch files which installs individual components separately and each component needs to be installed in a specific sequence - no integrated installer. Requires multiple pre-requisites on Windows 7 systems - deployment tools do not detect presence of pre-requisites and installation fails without feedback on failure causes (missing pre-req) Support services needs quite a bit of improvement since basic troubleshooting takes weeks to apply known solutions.

Dislike

The Server installation required a VMWare (for us EXSI) server environment. It is not supported on a Citrix Xenserver environment which is our primary Server infrastructure so we had to bring in a second server system. Initial setup of the server application side is a bit overwhelming and required vendor support. Upgrades also required some assistance. We occasionally have endpoints that disconnect and require a reinstall of the client side application and a lengthy re-encryption of the endpoint drives.

    Dell Data Protection (DDP) is a cost effective device encryption product.

    The web console is easy to navigate. Reports are available indicating compliance history and can be used to provide proof of compliance (to meet HIPPA or ePHI regulations) in the event of a lost device or data breach. The price per endpoint is reasonable compared to other vendor offerings.
