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."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."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention is the number one product in its field. It does its job well and it has all the necessary features. It is definitely better than any other solution on the market."
"Users like the product because of its simplicity and the rate of detection."
"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 solution offers great reporting."
"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 features I like most about this solution is the endpoint modules because it gives us the protection we need."
"Good end point encryption and data loss prevention."
"On DLP terms, Zscaler Cloud DLP ensures that data doesn't go outside of the organization. So on the network level, Zscaler does a pretty good job."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"The product’s most valuable features are inbound and outbound scanning and API control."
"The product’s most valuable features are data discovery, activity control, and zero trust exchange."
"The most valuable aspect of Zscaler Cloud DLP is its automatic DLP feature."
"The UI is easy to use."
"The enforce service is difficult to understand, and free courses made available on the internet would be useful."
"Technical support is pathetic."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Reporting could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the remote control capabilities of the DLP solution."
"Symantec DLP doesn't provide complete cloud coverage. We need another DLP solution to monitor our cloud applications."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's setup needs to be easier and support needs to be improved."
"Where things could be improved is that product engineering takes time to respond when we make a request. They get on a call for troubleshooting, but fixing the issue takes time."
"The product must allow users to check logs for an entire year in the local console."
"In the next release, I would like to see RE2 Regex supported."
"They should work on a replica account. There could be alerts and replica files sent to the DLP team during data collection."
"The customers would benefit from more robust documentation and conversations around configurations, as it is slightly complex."
"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."
"Price-wise, it is a costly product and it should be reduced."
"The tool must provide IP-blocking features."
