Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution can easily scale.""The most valuable feature of Symantec Data Loss Prevention is the ease of modification.""The dashboard, management section, and reporting are good.""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.""What I like about Symantec Data Loss Prevention is the technical support it provides. It's good.""The incident response options and reporting features are particularly strong, with the inclusion of Incident Classification Assessment (ICA) for integrated reporting.""I like how I have the possibility to check different channels with the same policy set.""I have found the most valuable feature to be partial enlisting."

Cons
"We want a more proactive reporting structure.""This product is very powerful but it is very complex, so making it simpler to use would be an improvement.""Different departments should manage administration, reporting, normalization and incident management.""Symantec Data Loss Prevention could improve by having better system resource management, cloud option, and more features.""They need to expand the channels they check.""It is very difficult to log in to create a support ticket because no one is available to support our queries.""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.""I would like to see changes to the analytics."

    Overview

    Keeping sensitive corporate information safe and compliant has never been easy. But today, you’re faced with a totally new set of data protection challenges. Sensitive information is leaving the safety of your corporate network as more employees share files over consumer cloud storage services and access those files on their own mobile devices. The number of targeted cyber attacks continues to grow, as cybercriminals develop effective new methods for defeating traditional security measures and stealing corporate information. And as all of these factors converge, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage corporate information and protect it against loss and theft. 

    Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) provides a comprehensive approach to information protection that embraces today’s cloud- and mobile-centered realities. With DLP, you can:

    • Discover where data is stored across all of your cloud, mobile, network, endpoint, and storage systems

    • Monitor how data is being used, whether your employees are on or off the network

    • Protect data from being leaked or stolen—no matter where it’s stored or how it’s used

    Trellix DLP is the ultimate data loss prevention (DLP) solution, safeguarding organizations' sensitive data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. This robust system monitors and regulates data flows across networks, emails, and the web, identifying and shielding various data types such as financial, personal, intellectual property, and regulated data. Employing encryption, access control, DLP policies, and monitoring, it secures data both at rest and in transit, ensuring compliance with data security regulations and industry standards. With customizable deployment options, including on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid, Trellix DLP offers comprehensive protection and rapid response to data loss incidents.
