TRANSCRIPT
Watchdox vs Vaultize Comparing Leading Enterprise File Sync & Share (EFSS)
Comparison Matrix
Enterprise IT Perspective • Holistic Approach • Security • Access Control and Tracking • Sharing Controls • Online Document Viewer • Sharing Controls • Outlook Plugin • Mobility Management Controls • Data Loss Prevention and Data Protection • Efficiency • Deployment Options
End-user Perspective
Vaultize – Holistic Approach
Information-centric Security, Control and Visibility through built-in
• Digital Rights Management (DRM aka IRM) • Data Loss Prevention (DLP) • Backup/Restore • Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)
IT team can monitor, control and track even after data goes to third-party on devices beyond IT control
Watchdox also follows information-centric approach but lacks end-to-end security like Vaultize • Encryption at Source • No dependence on VPN • On-disk Encryption on endpoints
Vaultize - Security
Vault KNOX Technology • Encryption and Content-aware Smart De-duplication both
together at source (patent-pending)
Does not rely on SSL alone • SSL is prone to attacks
Creates secure tunnel like VPN • So, no need for VPN when using Vaultize
Adds DRM layer as additional security to manage rights even after downloaded by third-party
Watchdox relies on SSL and DRM-encryption
Vaultize – Access Control and Tracking
Control access at the level of user, data source and content
Both Vaultize and Watchdox provide Digital Rights Management (DRM) • Access rights travel with files – security envelope • Track access, use (edit, copy/paste, print) • Even when files leave corporate network
Vaultize provides additional security fence based on IP and Geographical location
Sharing Controls
Both Watchdox and Vaultize provide good sharing controls
Vaultize has additional controls based on • IP and Geographical location • Rights Management – even user can control rights
Outlook Plugin
Both Vaultize and Watchdox convert shared files to their DRM-encrypted versions
Watchdox • Just replaces files in native format to DRM-encrypted
versions
Vaultize • Converts attachments into DRM-encrypted versions • Sends secure links rather than attachments – replacing
attachments (even non DRM-encrypted files) o Ensures better control o Reduction in PST size o Reduction in Exchange Storage – highly reduced TCO
• Auto-conversion based on policies
DLP and Backup/Restore
Vaultize • Endpoint Encryption and Remote wiping for Windows and
Mobile Devices (iOS/Android) o Selective file/folder encryption on Windows based on policies
• Automatic wiping based on IP and Geographical location • Comprehensive Endpoint Backup
o Policy based o Large size files o Open files o Outlook PST – efficient content-aware backup
Watchdox provides encryption only of shared DRM’d files
Vaultize - Efficiency
De-duplication at source (together with encryption) • Up to 90% less bandwidth and storage • Improves data transfer over internet – roaming users
NO VPN required with Vaultize • Improves end-user experience and productivity
Deployment Option
Vaultize • Scalable Private Cloud • On-premise • Purpose-built Appliance • Public Cloud
Watchdox • Public cloud • On-premise
Watchdox is know to have issues with large on-premise deployments and integration with enterprise infrastructure – Gartner Magic Quadrant
End-user Features
Vaultize is feature rich
Supports Critical Use Cases like • FTP Replacement • Control over Email attachments • Group Collaboration
Vaultize is Popular in Security Conscious and Regulated Veriticals • Banking, Financial and Insurance (BFSI) • Pharma and Healthcare
