Cyberhaven overview

Cyberhaven is a cybersecurity company based in Palo Alto, California. It was founded in 2016 and focuses on providing data loss prevention (DLP) solutions. On its website, it lists data detection and response programs with the following features:

• Data loss prevention
• Insider risk management
• Cloud data security

Shortcoming

Our analysis of user reviews from leading review platforms identified some drawbacks and shortcomings to using Cyebrhaven’s platform, which might lead its customers to consider its alternatives. This section summarizes those shortcomings:

1. Software alert errors

The DLP solution requires effort to set up custom policies. It triggers individual alerts for each policy met rather than consolidating them by severity. Additionally, the DLP tool occasionally misattributes alerts to the last active URL instead of the relevant one.¹

2. Lack of support

Customers indicated that there is a lack of tutorial videos available for the onboarding process and limited mobile support.²

3. Lack of API endpoints

The DLP solution by Cyberhaven has a lack of API endpoints, which hinders integration with systems like SIEM and automation of maintenance tasks. Additionally, the product loads reports slowly when handling large datasets over extended periods.³

Detailed analysis of the top 3 alternatives

This section offers some pros and cons of the top 3 alternatives of Cyberhaven based on reviews analyzed from leading review platforms.

1. Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys

Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys, which has now joined Netwrix, is one of the most suitable alternatives to Cyberhaven DLP because it provides a data protection product among other data security solutions. Its offerings include device control, content-aware protection, enforced encryption, and eDiscovery, as outlined on its website. Based in North Carolina, Endpoint Protector claims to deliver a competitive advantage with its holistic approach to protecting sensitive data.

Pros

1. Effective device control

According to various user reviews, Endpoint Protector’s device control features are one of the best in the market.^{4 5}

2. Supported operating systems

Compared to Cyberhaven and other alternatives, Endpoint Protector’s solution supports a broader range of operating systems, including Thin Clients. This extensive compatibility allows businesses to secure a wide variety of devices and platforms.

3. Software functionality

A user review liked Endpoint’s DLP software for its granularity, effective group administration, quick updates, and its panic mode.⁶

4. Implementation team and customer support

Its DLP solution is detailed, and customer support is helpful. The review also states that even though deployment requires some effort, the implementation team makes the process easy.⁷

Cons

1. Integration with Google Workspace

The review points out that the product cannot integrate with Google Workspace and ticketing systems. When users seek temporary access for a blocked or external device, it redirects them to their default email app instead of Google Workspace, which is used by the reviewer’s organization.⁸

2. File sharing

The review acknowledges the product’s positive features but points out some issues. Firstly, there are frequent false positives in file-sharing alerts from a specific application, occurring even when the user isn’t logged into the application. Secondly, there is a discrepancy between the activities performed by users and the activities that are logged by the system.⁹

2. Trellix DLP (McAfee)

Based in Texas, Trellix was founded in 2022 following the merger of McAfee Endpoint Security and FireEye. Trellix is also a suitable alternative to Cyberhaven DLP since it also claims to offer data loss prevention solutions, among other cybersecurity products. Trellix is currently owned by Symphony Technology Group. We analyzed numerous user reviews from leading review platforms to identify some pros and cons.

Pros

1. Easy to configure

Security products are often complex to set up, which can be challenging for companies with small teams. Trellix is user-friendly and doesn’t require extensive configuration, making it a good choice for teams without a dedicated expert.¹⁰

2. Many features

Trellix’s DLp product offers a variety of features, including customizable reporting options.¹¹

Cons

1. Missing features

The Linux version lacks certain features found in the Mac and Windows versions, including malware protection. The reporting tool is quite basic and offers limited options for generating custom reports. Additionally, the pricing might be considered higher than that of competitors.¹²

2. Falling performance

The advanced endpoint detection product has aged and struggles to meet the demand for protection against emerging security threats. While it was once highly esteemed, its effectiveness and condition have notably declined.¹³

3. Expensive and slow

According to a review, Trellix’s product operates slowly, often fails to function correctly, and is quite expensive compared to other solutions. With so many better alternatives available, it’s surprising that this software and its company are still in business. Their success seems largely due to aggressive early marketing. Those serious about security should consider other, more effective options. Norton is not recommended.¹⁴

3. Acronis Cyber Protect

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Switzerland, Acronis is another suitable alternative for Cyberhaven since it claims to specialize in data protection and cybersecurity solutions for sectors like IT, telecommunications, healthcare, and education.

Pros

1. User friendly

A customer who used its DLP solution stated that Acronis’s platform is easy-to-use for experienced professionals.¹⁵

Cons

1. Expensive and complex

A customer stated that Acronis’s platform is complex for inexperienced users and expensive for SMEs & SMBs.¹⁶

2. Limited configuration

Some customers faced challenges with the compatibility of its EDR and data protection solutions since they only support Windows.¹⁷

3. Complex UI and documentation

Some customers state that its interface is confusing, its network scanning feature is intrusive, and its documentation is poor.¹⁸

4. Patch management issues

After using the product for nearly a year, some customers encountered several fundamental issues with the tool’s patch management and updates that adversely affected their overall experience with the software.¹⁹
