Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We find the product is easy to manage and maintain.""The accuracy in terms of the rate of detection is good.""The data-at-rest features are the most valuable because they let us identify data infected with ransomware and prevent employees from being exploited through phishing attacks. If an employee is compromised, the attacker can access servers and deposit ransomware. This enables the attacker to exfiltrate data remotely using employees' credentials. It might be valuable data that could cause a business reputational and financial damage if stolen and publicized. It could also be credit card data or personal health information stored on critical servers.""One of the most valuable features is that you can check attachments.""The product helps with blocking sensitive data transmission and permission management.""The dashboard, management section, and reporting are good.""For detection, it has a great algorithm. It can recognize ID numbers and everything that you put in a policy for the end-users. That is really great for us as an institution where we have sensitive data. It recognizes all the sensitive data when someone tries to transfer it or put in other data.""DLP's most valuable feature is that it's more granular in terms of creating block-based policies, which gives you more options to create policies in a filtered way."

"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started.""It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways.""Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there.""Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature.""It is a very stable solution."

Cons
"I would like for the administrator management interface to improve. It's kind of old and slow. Updating it would make this solution better.""Their support program needs a lot of improvement. If you are stuck somewhere, getting their support can be difficult.""The solution could offer improved more informative documentation.""DLP could be improved by implementing a cloud-based console.""We want a more proactive reporting structure.""Symantec DLP doesn't provide complete cloud coverage. We need another DLP solution to monitor our cloud applications.""What could be improved in Symantec Data Loss Prevention is its security. It should be more secure.""Symantec Data Loss Prevention's setup needs to be easier and support needs to be improved."

More Symantec Data Loss Prevention Cons →

Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either.""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.
