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.""The policies need to be improved.""I would like for the administrator management interface to improve. It's kind of old and slow. Updating it would make this solution better.""What could be improved in Symantec Data Loss Prevention is its security. It should be more secure.""From a management perspective, it takes a lot of time to manage the infrastructure.""It is very difficult to log in to create a support ticket because no one is available to support our queries.""There are some features that are not available which are required by every data loss prevention solution.""We're not sure if there was an issue or a bug on the system recently because as of right now if someone sends out a compressed encrypted file, the DLP won't scan it."

"Trellix needs to improve customer support.""Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either.""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."

    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

    Trellix DLP is the ultimate data loss prevention (DLP) solution, safeguarding organizations' sensitive data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. This robust system monitors and regulates data flows across networks, emails, and the web, identifying and shielding various data types such as financial, personal, intellectual property, and regulated data. Employing encryption, access control, DLP policies, and monitoring, it secures data both at rest and in transit, ensuring compliance with data security regulations and industry standards. With customizable deployment options, including on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid, Trellix DLP offers comprehensive protection and rapid response to data loss incidents.
