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."There are a couple of things. One of them is that they have what they call Incydr. Their detection and response solution to the insider threat area is called Incydr. That gives visibility to the clients that have widely dispersed employee bases due to work from home, or that had a dispersed workforce predating any of the work from home requirements. Even though they might not be inside the organization physically, they're inside the organization. It allows us to get some visibility into what people are doing, what the context is, and how to control what might be the potential for intellectual property theft or file exposure."
"It had the ability to preseed by sending in a data drive and could restore by sending the user a data drive."
"Works in the background and users are able to perform restores."
"Risk factors can be adjusted for all intricate details."
"Code42 Next-Gen DLP is scalable."
"Security tools: Being able to monitor data going in and coming off our endpoints. Seeing what it is and where it's going is awesome."
"The solution is very stable. Very rarely do we have any issues with it. We don't have to deal with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We find it to be reliable."
"Low system overhead, setting retention policies, ease of use"
"The dashboard, management section, and reporting are good."
"The product is very robust."
"The product helps with blocking sensitive data transmission and permission management."
"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."
"Users like the product because of its simplicity and the rate of detection."
"We are able to contain our confidential data in our environment."

"I think one we can improve is the compression."
"What I think could be improved is how I get support."
"You can't always filter out data that you'd like to."
"Due to recent changes that effectively abandoned an entire segment of their user base, I no longer trust nor can recommend Code42 products."
"Java, please get rid of Java."
"Reporting could use an overhaul. It is very limited."
"More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD)."
"Symantec could improve by being more creative and simplifying the functions. Additionally, the data protection should be bundled with data classification and labeling instead of them being separate."
"Reporting could be improved."
"There are some features that are not available which are required by every data loss prevention solution."
"I would like to see an improved interface, with better documentation and integration with other products."
"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."

"I would like to see changes to the analytics."
