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 data-at-rest features are the most valuable because they let us identify data infected with ransomware and prevent employees from being exploited through phishing attacks. If an employee is compromised, the attacker can access servers and deposit ransomware. This enables the attacker to exfiltrate data remotely using employees' credentials. It might be valuable data that could cause a business reputational and financial damage if stolen and publicized. It could also be credit card data or personal health information stored on critical servers."
"The solution offers great reporting."
"An excellent solution for data classification."
"One of the most valuable features is that you can check attachments."
"We are able to contain our confidential data in our environment."
"It is a scalable solution...The solution's technical support was good."
"I'm able to track everyone who is trying to send information outside the environment and to know if they are not supposed to be sending it. I'm also able to see the people who are accessing or maybe try to access the information they are not supposed to be accessing based on their level of classification. It gives me overall control of who has got access to what and at what point. And who can do what with specific information."
"It has good options for policy findings. You can do granular policy enhancements with multiple options. And the SMB blocking is a very good feature."
"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."
"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."
"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."
"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."
"The deployment is complex."
"Virtualization is not currently supported."
"There are some features that are not available which are required by every data loss prevention solution."
"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."
"Data Masking could be improved."
"They could improve the predefined reports because they don't have much information. We would like detailed reports."
"The Symantec DLP solution is very complex, and installation requires many components."
"The policies need to be improved."
"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."
"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."
"Trellix needs to improve customer support."
