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."The solution is simple to use with good administrative controls and a console that is easy to understand."
"Good end point encryption and data loss prevention."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention is the number one product in its field. It does its job well and it has all the necessary features. It is definitely better than any other solution on the market."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The Network Monitor component is the most advanced on the market. Combined with the other Network DLP components."
"The tool's really working well, and the agents are good."
"We can integrate with some other tools such as Splunk, which is very useful."
"For detection, it has a great algorithm. It can recognize ID numbers and everything that you put in a policy for the end-users. That is really great for us as an institution where we have sensitive data. It recognizes all the sensitive data when someone tries to transfer it or put in other data."
"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."
"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."
"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"This product is very powerful but it is very complex, so making it simpler to use would be an improvement."
"Symantec could be better with infrastructure."
"From a management perspective, it takes a lot of time to manage the infrastructure."
"The deployment is complex."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's setup needs to be easier and support needs to be improved."
"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."
"Reporting could be improved."
"Trellix needs to improve customer support."
"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."
"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."
"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."
"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."
