"The customer service and support are very good.""You can close your data protection gaps with Zscaler. You can quickly find all the classified, sensitive data across the cloud.""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 UI is easy to use.""The most valuable aspect of Zscaler Cloud DLP is its automatic DLP feature.""The solution is the best for storage.""It's one of the easier products on the market as far as set-ups and deployments. Even across their whole product suite, they've made it pretty simple."

Cons
"When this solution is used it requires a lot of administration because the users can have difficulties using it and require assistance. The administrators are continuously modifying the policies for the users. Technical support will be used frequently.""We faced many issues with the solution's customer support, and it should be made customer-friendly and more responsive.""The user interface is messy and could be simplified.""The support from McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is good. However, if they provided 24 hours a day seven days a week support that would be a helpful addition.""The initial setup is very complex.""The solution needs to be a one-stop protection shop. And yet, the DLP isn't strong. Anyone can break it quite easily.""The pricing is high for licensing and support and the GUI interface is good but could use updating.""We need to do a lot of configuration."

More McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention Cons →

"Another area of improvement is implementation through non-client connectors. The solution can be implemented in two ways. One uses the back file; the other one uses client connectors. So the client connector is pretty fast, but when it comes to non-client connectors and procedures, it's kind of delayed and slow.""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.""The customers would benefit from more robust documentation and conversations around configurations, as it is slightly complex.""On the improvement side, when we bypass certain internet traffic types, it's currently recommended to have a one-click option, but audio and video aren't always supported. Thus, we need to bypass that kind of traffic. So, it is an area of improvement.""There could be additional ways to define proximity. Additionally, they should provide some exclusion options for specific policies and an ability to control the DLP engine.""We have issues with the tool's maintenance and networking. It should be able to work in offline mode as well.""The tool must provide IP-blocking features.""In the next release, I would like to see RE2 Regex supported."
