"The installation process is pretty straightforward."

"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention could improve by making the customer aware of the benefits of the solution which would increase the adoption. Additionally, if there were features to suit multi-cloud environments it would be helpful. If the solution can intelligently identify which is important data for the organization and should not be released from the organization without authorization would be a benefit."
"There are a lot of vulnerabilities and viruses and malware can proliferate."
"The solution takes up too much CPU and memory."
"The solution needs to be a one-stop protection shop. And yet, the DLP isn't strong. Anyone can break it quite easily."
"Lacks GDPR regulations to enhance security."

"Upgrades from one version to another may only sometimes be straightforward, especially if one needs a clearer understanding of the process."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"It's a bit difficult to get good support. Their response times are really bad."
"There are some issues with the single sign-on with the active directory. We had a few problems related to the synchronization between the active directory and the login features of the Symantec products because the users made many password changes during the day. The time for synchronization with the solutions can be improved. I would like to see mobile encryption. There should be a possibility to include all the mobiles of a company in the console. Many customers are asking about encryptions for tablets or cell phones, but we don't have any product that we are comfortable with to recommend to our customers."
"The solution presently doesn't let network folder encryption be done on Macintosh."
"The UI could be improved."
"It's difficult to integrate the solution with the DLP"
"The agent can be improved on the solution. Right now, we have an Endpoint Protection agent as well as an encryption agent and another for the DLVs and other services. We would prefer a single agent for the entire product."
