ManageEngine Device Control Plus VS ActivTrak

Device Control Plus is an enterprise security solution that primarily focuses on the various peripheral devices such as USB sticks, CDROMs and other removable storage devices that connect to endpoints across your IT network. Data that gets into the wrong hands can easily be used for professional or personal gains.

Device Control Plus equips you with the right set of tools to not only prevent data leakage but also to prevent the intrusion of Malware from unauthorized devices. Once fully set up, Device Control Plus locks all USB ports across managed systems by default. From thereon, you as the IT admin have complete control over who and what external device has access to specific machines in your network.

This solution offers Role Based Access Control as an improvised alternative to conventional security models and allows you to set up file access and file transfer control policies based on the job roles of your employees. Device Control Plus lets you manage trusted devices in real-time using the trusted device list. Additionally you can grant temporary access to your users for a specified time period.

The product also packs interesting features like file shadowing and file tracing that ensure that you never lose sensitive files during a data breach. Download the free trial today!
