"The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe."
"Good end point encryption and data loss prevention."
"The incident response options and reporting features are particularly strong, with the inclusion of Incident Classification Assessment (ICA) for integrated 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."
"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."
"The Network Monitor component is the most advanced on the market. Combined with the other Network DLP components."
"The solution offers great reporting."
"With respect to the amount of intelligence that they have with respect to how they formed the DLP solution, for example, exact data matching. If you compare Forcepoint with Symantec, Symantec is more sophisticated than Forcepoint."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is endpoint security."
"Amazon Macie is expensive."
"There is room for improvement in the remote control capabilities of the DLP solution."
"The deployment is complex."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Sometimes setting up the solution can get a little tricky because it would depend on your internal infrastructure. For example, you have to connect the Symantec Data Loss Prevention platform and you need to integrate it, so that could make the process somewhat difficult."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's setup needs to be easier and support needs to be improved."
"The one downside for Symantec is that, due to its transition from Symantec to Broadcom, there's been a lot of changes. I am based in the Philippines and we don't have a contact person locally for any Symantec."
"We're not sure if there was an issue or a bug on the system recently because as of right now if someone sends out a compressed encrypted file, the DLP won't scan it."
"There should be more information about the features of the solution and what they do. This way we would be able to use all the features that are available."
