"DDP - Encryption Done Easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Dell Data Protection?

The best part about DDP is that everything I need to manage an endpoint is in one place. I install the software on the client, point it at the server and it does everything for me automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dell Data Protection?

DDP has a habit of locking up endpoints to where I have to get my hands on them to unlock with recovery keys through a PE environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Credant, now Dell Data Protection Encryption, not bad"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Dell Data Protection?

Encryption is a relative breeze. The external media encryption portion is very slick. I like being able to force USB mass storage devices to be encrypted before they are used on our systems.

The support for EME on systems that aren't owned by us is also very good.

It allows you 2 different options:

Installing an agent on the non company device that allows the user access to the encrypted drive with no additional prompts, after authentication.

Authenticate, do not install any agent, and use a built in explorer window to navigate encrypted files and folders.

I like having both options for users as it allows both an unobtrusive method and a public method when you can't install the agent, such as on a public computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dell Data Protection?

Unencrypting can be a beast. I find it much easier to just log into the system, transfer all the data off the device, wiping the system and reloading, reencrypting then transferring the files back to be a much less dauntless task than unencryption.

Encrypting a profile begins as soon as a user logs in, however, it stops if the user logs off. It also will not complete if a user logs off and never logs back on. This can be a small headache for technicians, as they need to log on, and stay logged on until their profile is fully encrypted before handing the system back to the user.
