The most valuable aspect of Symantec DLP is its broad coverage. Symantec DLP covers USB, Outlook email clients, and web traffic. If we install the endpoint DLP, we can cover multiple channels, including the clipboard and printer. What distinguishes Symantec from other solutions is the technology to create policies based on our customer's requirements, like ID items and index documents. We can fingerprint our documents so that any attempt to send the data outside the organization is detected. Symantec DLP has Described Content Matching if you need to send unstructured data. We can carry out the rule with the Described Content Matching technology. This enables us to create multiple rules. Symantec offers various technologies, like Index Document Matching, Described Content Matching, and Exact Data Matching. We can also create rules for structured data stored in the Excel database. In addition to these features, Symantec DLP also provides email traffic monitoring, giving us visibility into on-prem Exchange email servers and cloud-based tools like Office 365. We can extend DLP detection to all email and SMTP traffic. I rate Symantec DLP a ten out of ten for ease of use and implementation. It's easier to use than other DLP solutions. The detection capabilities are also excellent. I rate Symantec DLP eight and a half out of ten for detection. I give Symantec an eight out of ten for accuracy and seven out of ten for scanning speed.
