Pros
"We are able to contain our confidential data in our environment.""The initial setup is easy.""Symantec DLP has many servers, and the solution is very powerful because you can use it in ports, endpoints, networks, and email servers to prevent the leakage of emails. DLP can be integrated with Symantec encryption.""The most valuable feature is file-level DLP.""It can prevent copying and encoding of HTTP data to various sites like Google, and Webex.""The product is very robust.""Users like the product because of its simplicity and the rate of detection.""An excellent solution for data classification."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy.""We use Trend Micro mainly to monitor user activities, such as tracking the websites they visit and purchase items. Additionally, we focus on identifying and addressing antivirus threats. We used to explore a feature related to proxy but decided against it as an enterprise solution wasn't readily available for us. Our primary use of Trend Micro revolves around end-user security. Integration with Active Directory has proven beneficial, allowing us to easily push updates or changes directly from the console.""We find the malware scanning and intrusion detection most valuable for our server management requirements. We can find out who is on our servers and what they have done.""The solution's initial setup process was straightforward.""I'm not an administrator of Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention, but an end-user, and what I like about it is that it can detect events that could cause data loss. It's a good solution.""The basic setup, like configuring servers or deploying the SaaS platform and agent implementation, is straightforward.""Trend Micro has improved my client's organization by recovering malware disabled network adaptors from servers.""Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is a reliable product."

Cons
"Their support program needs a lot of improvement. If you are stuck somewhere, getting their support can be difficult.""Virtualization is not currently supported.""I would like to see an improved interface, with better documentation and integration with other products.""I would like for the administrator management interface to improve. It's kind of old and slow. Updating it would make this solution better.""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.""The deployment is complex.""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."

More Symantec Data Loss Prevention Cons →

"Having more features apart from what the product was designed for is what I'd like to see in its next release.""It's hard for me to answer any questions about missing features. It's the outside companies who support us that manage this DLP solution at this moment.""Being able to specify an agent list, or client list, to allow support from outside of the organization, would be of benefit to this solution.""The tool should improve its reporting functionality. We need a proper reporting feature in a DLP solution.""Needs a remote login option.""Within the solution, many of the functions do not perform as intended...It is not a stable solution...It is not a scalable solution.""In Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention, there is a need to improve the plug-in manager, as it is an area with shortcomings.""The platform's support structure for government-specific domain requirements could be improved."

    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

    Now more than ever, your data is on the move—whether it’s on a laptop, flash drive, or moving across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. At any point along the way, your financial data, customer information, intellectual property, or trade secrets could be lost or stolen. Securing this data is further complicated by several growing risk factors:

    Rapidly evolving compliance regulations and mandates, including GDPR
    Continued growth of workforce mobility
    Employees using their own mobile devices and consumer apps for work
    Rising frequency of advanced persistent threats (APTs) and data breach incidents

    To avoid the embarrassment, reputation damage, regulatory fines, and revenue loss, today’s enterprise must be able to identify, track, and secure all confidential data from multiple points within the organisation and in the cloud without impacting employee productivity and performance. In the past, many organisations tried traditional data loss prevention (DLP) solutions but found they were too intrusive, too complex to manage, and too costly to acquire, deploy, and maintain.
