Robust tool to prevent data loss

This is a solution that guarantees the protection of confidential data from situations that could put them at risk. It facilitates the control and monitoring of removable devices used by employees.

PROS

It has powerful protection tools that prevent the risk of data misuse. I like the ones it sends to email in real time to warn about any violation of security policies. Facilitates centralized management to control the use of portable devices. It guarantees the blocking in the transfer of files from a PC to storage devices. Enables user-based security controls, maintaining the necessary confidence in the handling of data.

CONS

This is a robust and reliable solution, I found nothing negative in the operation of this platform.

Data loss Prevention and Computer Security from a reliable software

In the company we handle sensitive data every time; of our esteemed clients and confidential company operations. Data leaks as we all know are common through USB ports streams. Having a counter software to prevent such leaks is Crucial and a robust one like Accesspatrol gives us more confidence security-wise. The overall experience has been superb.

PROS

The Locked USB ports are completely inaccessible from unauthorized users. If someone attempts to steal your data through USB streams you'll receive an alert to your email. AccessPatrol makes it possible for us to actualize exclusive use of USB devices through a whitelist and blacklist policy model. The software's functionality is itself a marvel, restricting data access file-wise, folder-wise just to mention a few.

CONS

The software was easy to implement and use but the reports are intensive and running a full analysis from time to time is hectic.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Alisha! I know analyzing the data can be a daunting task when you need to protect against thousands of users. In those cases I recommend relying heavily on the alerts, scheduled email reports, and the dashboards to review key metrics such as file transfers to portable storage, use of unknown USB devices, etc. I'd also prioritize your analysis to users with direct access to sensitive data.

Total Security against data breaches

AccessPatrol has been of valuable input to the company through protection of sensitive and confidential information. In my department, we constantly deploy bots to handle the repetitive but important tasks. Some of the bots are ingested with crucial data making them vulnerable. AccessPatrol makes it possible for only allowed devices to access the data while blocking the foreign ones. This way, we are fully armored against illicit data transfers.

PROS

AccessPatrol is flexible enough to allow users implement USB device control policies from a conveniently from a web console. It can actively sync imported directories to existing organizational units. Swift monitoring of files copied to USB and other storage devices

CONS

I would like to see more improvements on reports. The generated USB activity reports are rather clustered and complex to comprehend.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Gray! I know the static PDF reports can be overwhelming when reviewing USB activities with a lot of data. If you haven't already I'd recommend you try out the data dashboards for AccessPatrol, they're a great way to get an overview of your workforce's USB activity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6vQQKakNSM

Most Secure USB Control Software.

AccessPatrol has empowered us to achieve full data security while maintaining peak productivity. Some departments in our company develop programs for utility by the military. This has sensitive data written all over. Engaging AccessPatrol to secure confidential data has been of indispensable value to us.

PROS

It's possible to deploy both as an on-premises and a cloud solution which turned out to be a great fit for our remote engineers. File access blocking is quite broad-based. You can block transfer of specific files to USB devices (selection by file name ) rather than the entire drive. The AccessPatrol Console has several functionalities to manage policies for all connected and separate computers.

CONS

I have used AccessPatrol for almost two years now and I haven't seen a single glitch. You might however experience some bugs if your version is outdated.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Ezekiel! Fantastic to hear that AccessPatrol's USB control features have helped keep you in compliance when developing programs for your national defense partners.

Data Protection with Convinience

Our company deals with provision of financial services to our esteemed customers. We therefore handle confidential and sensitive information all athe time, which when leaked could lead to a catastophy. That's why we engage AccessPatrol to prevent sensitive data access by unauthorised personnel.

PROS

I acknowledge the ease of usage while managing peripheral devices policies. We can easily configure them provided a web browser is accessible. Accesspatrol device blockage policies are waterproof. Blocked devices have completely zero access to sensitive data. If there has been a breach, it's eacsy to trace back through the activity logs.

CONS

AccessPatrol has worked quite efficiently for us. I have spotted not a single hitch in AccessPatrol.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Alpa! Great to hear that AccessPatrol is keeping sensitive financial data safe so you can meet your compliance requirements and keep your data subjects safe.

AccessPatrol is a fast and safe way to move numerous projects' gigabytes of data from one location to another. Audit reports on accessible and restricted devices can be generated in real-time. An email notification is sent immediately upon detection of an unauthorized connection.

PROS

We were able to identify and disable any devices that were being used improperly by some of our employee's thanks to AccessPatrol. It prevents data from being retrieved from any workstation and saved to outside data storage because it maintains constant control over the system.

CONS

Although the technology is constantly improving, there are still certain features that we would like to see. Some of the issues have already been fixed in the most recent updates. In addition, I prefer the older desktop version over the mobile console.

Great software to lock down USB access

PROS

This software has been a great benefit to secure USB devices and access to company computers. We now have the ability to secure machines that otherwise would have been exposed to threats.

CONS

The software continues to evolve and was missing some features we would like. As newer versions have been released, most of the problem areas have been addressed. Also, I not a big fan of the web console in comparison to the legacy desktop application. The legacy app seemed easier and made more sense in layout and use.

Vendor Response

Hey Jordan, thanks for your feedback! If you'd like to access the legacy desktop console it is still available, here are the instructions for that: https://www.currentware.com/support/desktop-console-file-path/ The legacy console does not support the new USB activity dashboards introduced in version 7.0, however, you can still modify your policies and run reports from there if you prefer that UI!

Solid USB Policies to protect data.

We use AccessPatrol in our organization to prevent the data leaks via removable USB devices. The policies you set are rock solid. The feature to review activities and history during your shift on AccessPatrol is a plus.

PROS

Uses cutting edge technology to keep off unauthorized USBs from accessing your computer. Sends warnings instantly to the console admin when untrusted USBs try to access information. Engages encryption model to secure critical removable devices

CONS

Plenty of alerts even for zero-threat USBs but that's the beauty of it - completely watertight protection.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Julie! To clarify your note on "Engages encryption model to secure critical removable device" as of version 7.0.2 AccessPatrol does not encrypt files or USB devices itself, though it is compatible with encrypted portable storage devices.
