We performed a comparison between Symantec Data Loss Prevention and Trellix DLP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We are able to contain our confidential data in our environment."
"The most valuable aspect of Symantec DLP is its powerful policy system."
"We work in the banking field. We deploy data loss prevention. Our branch protects our clients' data, credit card numbers, account numbers, and other confidential and sensitive data."
"An excellent solution for data classification."
"The solution offers great reporting."
"Symantec DLP has many servers, and the solution is very powerful because you can use it in ports, endpoints, networks, and email servers to prevent the leakage of emails. DLP can be integrated with Symantec encryption."
"We find the product is easy to manage and maintain."
"They have a feature on the management side called the document indexer. Let's say you have a unique document with many near identical versions, which have one or several values that change, while the rest of the content stays the same. You can collect 50 of those documents and put them into this feature of the Symantec DLP system. It will compress them and create a profile specifically for that document."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."
"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."
"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."
"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's setup needs to be easier and support needs to be improved."
"Symantec could improve by being more creative and simplifying the functions. Additionally, the data protection should be bundled with data classification and labeling instead of them being separate."
"From a management perspective, it takes a lot of time to manage the infrastructure."
"I would like to see an improved interface, with better documentation and integration with other products."
"Symantec DLP doesn't provide complete cloud coverage. We need another DLP solution to monitor our cloud applications."
"The upgrade process is convoluted. The server and database software must run in line with third-party providers like the Oracle database. If an Oracle database reaches the end of its life, then servers must be decommissioned, and you need to bring new servers online. When the maintenance packages are deployed to the management server, they don't get pushed to the detection servers. Each detection server must be manually installed rather than automatically made from a single server. If it's a large enterprise, you need to manually install it or use a GPO or some other technology, which I never use."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Symantec could be better with infrastructure."
"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."
"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."
"Trellix needs to improve customer support."
"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."
