Consitent, accurate, and simple

I'm not sure about scanning speeds. In my previous experience, we had some problems and some speed issues. The data loss prevention feature is working pretty well; however, sometimes, if you want to discover or scan the data stored in the customer environment, it could take a long time. Sometimes the customer states, "I want to scan a computer," and it takes a few hours. It seems to sometimes be unnecessarily long. Reporting could be improved. The detection features are good, and the configuration is basic. It's really easy to use, or it's really to learn from scratch. However, the reporting features must be improved as the product doesn't provide us with many reporting screens. We only have an incident results screen, and we have filters we can use, and that's it. There are no other reporting features. It's really limited.

Easy to deploy with fast ROI and good reliability

The initial setup process is simple and straightforward. We don't have difficulties with the process. The implementation process is fairly quick and takes about three to six months. It starts with policy formulation. The customer has to come up with a policy or the need to protect and prevent leakage. They need to tag their information properly so that DLP can actually work. After that, then you could find certain rules for monitoring initially. If that goes well, users can start blocking things or putting them into an approval process. This requires a dedicated DLP admin for a 3,000-person company. More than 3,000 users need about two dedicated admins.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The product is very robust."

"The tool's really working well, and the agents are good."

"We can integrate with some other tools such as Splunk, which is very useful."

"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."

"An excellent solution for data classification."

"The incident response options and reporting features are particularly strong, with the inclusion of Incident Classification Assessment (ICA) for integrated reporting."

"The most valuable feature is file-level DLP."

"The solution is simple to use with good administrative controls and a console that is easy to understand."

More Symantec Data Loss Prevention pros

"None of the Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention features worked well, but the solution had a straightforward setup."

"We find the malware scanning and intrusion detection most valuable for our server management requirements. We can find out who is on our servers and what they have done."

"There are no issues with the interface."

"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."

"We use Trend Micro mainly to monitor user activities, such as tracking the websites they visit and purchase items. Additionally, we focus on identifying and addressing antivirus threats. We used to explore a feature related to proxy but decided against it as an enterprise solution wasn't readily available for us. Our primary use of Trend Micro revolves around end-user security. Integration with Active Directory has proven beneficial, allowing us to easily push updates or changes directly from the console."

"We are able to check the log and keep records."

"It is a scalable product."

"The interface and dashboard are okay."

Cons

"In a majority of cases, most of the companies are using DLP for endpoint sessions, where you have a user that might be communicating information outside of the company. However, they forget there are actual interfaces that can directly communicate with either the database or other files within the data center that uses end-to-end encryption. In those cases, you might need things like your DLP to be able to monitor and block some of that. The solution needs to catch information communicated through the data center on the server-side."

"Different departments should manage administration, reporting, normalization and incident management."

"We need to have agent auto-parsing."

"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's setup needs to be easier and support needs to be improved."

"Agent configuration should be improved for easier interaction for users, particularly by allowing configuration changes to be done on a grid."

"We are finding delayed response if the macOS is updated. They need to make sure their solution is compatible."

"There is room for improvement in the remote control capabilities of the DLP solution."

"They could improve the predefined reports because they don't have much information. We would like detailed reports."

More Symantec Data Loss Prevention cons

"Needs a remote login option."

"It's hard for me to answer any questions about missing features. It's the outside companies who support us that manage this DLP solution at this moment."

"They could improve the product's data loss policies."

"The solution could use better logging in the future."

"Typically, DLP solutions do not cover emails without an additional component, which necessitates a dual-service proposal. Comparatively, on-premises deployments offer more features locally than online or remote deployments, which sometimes face challenges with feature support. This is a common issue with Trend."

"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is buggy, which is one area for improvement. I also found Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention support horrible, so that's another area for improvement."

"Most of the functions don't work in the way that they are supposed to."

"The tool should improve its reporting functionality. We need a proper reporting feature in a DLP solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution should be less expensive to allow more people the opportunity to use it. Some of their competitors are less expensive. There is a license required to use the solution and we purchased an annual license."

"The pricing is competitive and not pricey. We also receive corporate discounts."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"I think that it's an expensive product, even as an enterprise-suite product."

"For pricing, I rate Symantec DLP an eight out of ten."

"The price of Symantec DLP is fair. I don't recall the cost of the license, but it wasn't outrageous enough that it was an obstacle to approval. I'm not concerned with how much per seat or server, but I know they charge a lot."

"Pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is reasonable."

More Symantec Data Loss Prevention pricing and cost advice

"The platform is expensive. We purchase its yearly license."

"The licensing and pricing of Trend Micro are comparatively low and competitive since they are offered in a bundle, especially compared to Symantec, which was has a relatively high price."

"The client needs to pay for the Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention license on an annual basis."

"It's not too expensive, especially when compared to SecureTech, and Forcepoint. It's actually cheaper. A license costs about INR 4,000 to INR 5,000, roughly $60 per license per year. In comparison, Forcepoint licenses are around $90 to $95."

"The product is worth the money you pay for it. It is not an expensive solution."

"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is expensive compared to other solutions."

"It's relatively cheap so the pricing is okay."

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."

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

Now more than ever, your data is on the move—whether it’s on a laptop, flash drive, or moving across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. At any point along the way, your financial data, customer information, intellectual property, or trade secrets could be lost or stolen. Securing this data is further complicated by several growing risk factors:

Rapidly evolving compliance regulations and mandates, including GDPR
Continued growth of workforce mobility
Employees using their own mobile devices and consumer apps for work
Rising frequency of advanced persistent threats (APTs) and data breach incidents

To avoid the embarrassment, reputation damage, regulatory fines, and revenue loss, today’s enterprise must be able to identify, track, and secure all confidential data from multiple points within the organisation and in the cloud without impacting employee productivity and performance. In the past, many organisations tried traditional data loss prevention (DLP) solutions but found they were too intrusive, too complex to manage, and too costly to acquire, deploy, and maintain.
