CRITICAL

a product that needs to be fine tuned

3.0
Dec 30, 2023
I would say this is an average level performer when it comes to data loss prevention considering the number of channels that are potentially vulnerable for data loss are not sealed really well often times most of the channels fail due to various errors which are known only to the OEM with very little to least info on solution, the customer support is very minimal post to the purchase of the product and I don't see much stability in the product in its entirety except for email monitor, endpoint agents often go offline even if they are online and when they have to be troubleshooted a help desk engineer has to manually reinstall the agent and this when looked at a larger scale of 6000 or more endpoints it becomes a challenge.
