CRITICAL

“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 (Legacy) Likes & Dislikes

Like

It enables users to work on any device as per their convenience. Also prevent from malware.

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

Sustainable method and steps to counter data usage risk parameters and assessment. easily deployable and the best in class data and devices monitoring framework

Dislike

Nothing as such.

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
