Symantec DLP is highly stable. I've operated on Linux and Windows. Linux is stable and doesn't require much patching, but Windows requires more patching, and the service sometimes needs to be restarted.

Symantec DLP is a stable product, and I give its stability a ten out of ten. I have had the solution break down, but it was a user interruption.

The network and storage are very stable. 

I've experienced a few issues with the DLP agent on the windows side when operating systems are mismatched or there is an issue with a group policy.

It's stable. Out of all the data loss preventions that I've experienced, Symantec, with respect to its technology, is quite good. Aside from the database, I don't have much of a complaint with Symantec, technically speaking.

In terms of stability, we have issues, yet not too many. The basic functionality works fine. In my opinion, it is one of the best of the market.

The platform is stable. Initially, there were minor delays during the setup phase, especially when implementing certain features on the cloud. However, these issues have been resolved over time, and the system runs smoothly. It has been consistently reliable for the past three years. While it may demand slightly higher bandwidth, it remains easily adaptable to any network environment.

It isn't stable. For example, when we compare it to other solutions like Bluetooth, it can't be controlled in Symantec, but others can.

When in a heavy-usage environment, you can have some latency problems when the DLP management page loads. If the problem persists and the loading time is too high, you should restart the service. Usually, this behavior is very rare and I saw it on the Windows implementation.
