"Technical support is very professional and responsive."
"We find the product is easy to manage and maintain."
"DLP's most valuable feature is compliance."
"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."
"The dashboard, management section, and reporting are good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is endpoint security."
"The solution is simple to use with good administrative controls and a console that is easy to understand."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP provides you with basic DLP features that you get out of the box such as keywords, regular expressions, and data identifiers, for example, your social security numbers, and credit card numbers, with everything built into the product, so you can directly use those features within the policies. You don't need to create it from scratch, and to me, this is the biggest benefit of Zscaler Cloud DLP. You have a lot of templates to choose from in the solution, rather than having to create templates from scratch or reinvent templates."
"The policies are very easy to implement."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product’s most valuable features are data discovery, activity control, and zero trust exchange."
"You can close your data protection gaps with Zscaler. You can quickly find all the classified, sensitive data across the cloud."
"The customer service and support are very good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"As a cloud-based service, it is very easily implemented."
"Technical support is pathetic."
"Since being acquired by Broadcom, the support has really degraded for small and medium enterprises."
"The policies need to be improved."
"What could be improved in Symantec Data Loss Prevention is its security. It should be more secure."
"There are some features that are not available which are required by every data loss prevention solution."
"The product's pricing and support services need improvement."
"We want a more proactive reporting structure."
"I would like for the administrator management interface to improve. It's kind of old and slow. Updating it would make this solution better."
"We have issues with the tool's maintenance and networking. It should be able to work in offline mode as well."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP needs to improve its compatibility with other security tools."
"The customers would benefit from more robust documentation and conversations around configurations, as it is slightly complex."
"Another area of improvement is implementation through non-client connectors. The solution can be implemented in two ways. One uses the back file; the other one uses client connectors. So the client connector is pretty fast, but when it comes to non-client connectors and procedures, it's kind of delayed and slow."
"They should work on a replica account. There could be alerts and replica files sent to the DLP team during data collection."
"In the next release, I would like to see RE2 Regex supported."
"You won't find anything that can help you with the configuration part and other areas related to the product if you search for proper or exact details of Zscaler Cloud DLP online in very easy language."
"On the improvement side, when we bypass certain internet traffic types, it's currently recommended to have a one-click option, but audio and video aren't always supported. Thus, we need to bypass that kind of traffic. So, it is an area of improvement."
