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.
If you're thinking about going for a cheaper solution, I suggest a close comparative analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of each solution by researching online and reading the vendor's documentation. You have to define your security requirements and look at factors like false positive ratios and whether it meets your compliance needs. Some companies only need to meet the minimum regulatory requirements, so a cheap solution that ticks all the right boxes might work. However, if security is the primary goal, you should compare the strengths and weaknesses of that cheap vendor against two or three other DLP vendors.

The product is expensive.
I rate the product’s pricing a 3 out of 10, where 1 is expensive and 10 is cheap.
I am a technical person, so I don't have specific pricing details. However, I consider it to be in the average to moderately expensive range because it is tailored for enterprise use, not SMBs. Pricing can vary depending on specific needs and configurations.
The platform is not very expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten.

The pricing is moderate. It's not the cheapest, or the most expensive.
There are various types of licenses. For example, if you are a customer for endpoint prevention, that is a different license. And if you want to cloud prevent, that is a different license. It's flexible. If you need to purchase a full suite, you can purchase it, or if you want only endpoint or cloud or network, you can buy it as a separate command.

Symantec's pricing is competitive. I would recommend Symantec DLP over cheaper solutions because it provides a broader range of detection across various channels that isn't easy to achieve with other solutions. The solution also makes compliance with multiple regulatory regimes easier.

There is a perpetual license for three, five and two years. There is also a one-year renewable license for different parts. In addition, there are licenses for different consoles, namely Endpoint Discover, Endpoint Prevent, and Network Prevent. So it is an easy tool per the budget firewall and not difficult at all.

I am not a sales. However, I see Symantec's prices are the highest in the market.
The technical solution is quite good, however, when the customer sees the prices, they tend to say "Okay. It is very good, yet we do need to choose a cheaper one."

The price is competitive. Until last year, the price was okay, but it just increased more than 100% this year. There was no justification for that.

Licensing depends on how you plan your deployment. If you have carefully planned it and you've already looked at the storage capacity and how it's going to grow over a period of two to five years, then you'll hardly have any problems or issues. If you have not planned it correctly then you might run into some issues.

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.

In terms of pricing, Symantec DLP works with Oracle Database. Oracle Database licensing is much more expensive than other databases. That might be a drawback for customers.
The pricing is on a yearly subscription basis. For the current customer year, we already paid up front as part of the first three years.

The licensing is an issue. You need to get a dedicated machine. Otherwise, you have to pay for all the CPU in your data center or all the clusters in VMware. It used to be two issues. One was the support of virtualization and one was licensing. In the latest release, they solved the virtualization. They said "Okay, you can run the database and everything could be on the virtual machine", which is great. The other issue of licensing is still a pending issue. We still have to run on the dedicated hardware, however, it needs to be a small cluster or a small machine, to not pay for the entire cluster.

I wasn't involved in the pricing negotiations but from what I know the pricing is good, it's not too expensive. If you negotiate you can get a good price.
View full review »Symantec only sells the DLP software. When you buy, it you should budget the server licenses, the storage and the hardware. Scale your implementation when you have your exact number of the monitored users. Be prepared to extend the resources if you increase the number of users. The Oracle DB is licensed for use only with Symantec.
If you are a small firm with less than 150 users, Symantec can be too pricey.

Licensing costs are based on the number of users and can be purchased on an annual, three-year or five-year basis. The cost is high compared to other solutions.
