What advice do you have for others considering Symantec Data Loss Prevention?

For any technology meets or usability meetings, I have often recommended Symantec Data Loss Prevention. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

The policy management capabilities are really effective. The tool's policy management capabilities aid us in the area of compliance. The tool integrates with other security tools, just like how Microsoft works. I have not dealt with any AI capabilities in the tool. I recommend the tool to others. The software is sufficient, especially support-wise, and it is the same as Microsoft. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

Incident response capabilities are integral to this solution's functionality. It features robust workflow controls that facilitate timely and effective responses to security incidents. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Overall, I rate Symantec DLP a seven out of ten and would recommend it to other users.

The platform provides valuable data for preventing loss in various ways. It operates on a cloud-based platform and is beneficial through email and the web. The incident response capability has been instrumental in mitigating potential data loss. The response agents are deployed strategically, and licenses govern their access. It ensures that only authorized personnel with the appropriate IT label can intervene. I rate it an eight out of ten.

We do have many built-in components on the policy tab. So, if you're in the UK or anywhere else, we have some pre-built policies, making it easy for users to configure. These policies cover SSN, driver's license information, and other sensitive conversations. Additionally, we have some import policies, making the process even easier. We have almost 65 components, and we are the ones handling the stack for Broadcom. We are responsible for both level one and level two support for Broadcom. Overall, I rate the solution an 8 out of 10.

I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

I recommend Symantec Data Loss Prevention and rate it a seven out of ten.

I rate Symantec DLP a nine out of ten. Because of ransomware attacks, you must use a DLP in your environment in today's world.

My advice to people who are considering implementing Symantec DLP is to request a demo to see how it works and experience its features. Subscribing to these features, applying policies, and learning about the advantages will help them make an informed decision about whether it meets their specific needs. Overall, I would rate it as an eight out of ten.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. Because it's not only a question of technicality, it's a question of privacy, it knows everything, so I don't like it much.

I would rate Symantec Data Loss Prevention a six out of ten. I wouldn't recommend the solution for micro SMEs or small enterprises. It is not recommended for organizations that do not have the technical expertise or in-house support.

People evaluating the solution must test the product against various vectors of threats. Symantec is very consistent, but sometimes it is a hit or miss. It is 95% accurate. It should be appropriately evaluated. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I work as an integrator. While the solution may support Mac and Linux, Windows endpoints are more important. Every business uses IT directories and manages internal clients with Windows. Symantec already supports Mac endpoints, just not Linux clients or Linux agents. However, that's not a common thing anyway. It's a special condition. You will need a Linux agent if you are using those servers in your environment. Generally, we don't need to install a server-level agent. We also monitor a gateway-level inspection. For example, if your server is open to the internet, generally from a security perspective, the security personnel must follow a gateway-level inspection. And the end of the day, this works for a Windows client. Generally, we don't require Linux agents for the data loss prevention solution. However, it depends on the business and it depends on the environment. If someone just wants to use the cheapest option available, they likely will get just keyword detection. They might not get OCR or email attachment monitoring. I cannot say that Symantec has helped reduce operating costs. However, I can say that, in general, if you don't lose data, you don't lose money. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. The reporting and technical support are not the greatest; however, overall, the product is good. If an organization has a proper data classification solution or qualification levels in their organization, a DLP implementation will be much easier for them. Otherwise, they will have to work on their DLP deployment policy creation, and then they have to create a data classification policy.

We're a Symantec partner. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Competitive products don't even compare to the solution with regard to its capabilities. The only reason to choose another solution is budget because the solution requires licenses for the product and the database. I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

I'm a reseller and integrator. I am just upgrading the previous version, 15.5, to the newest one, 15.8. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. Regarding advice, it is the best solution and has the best reputation. It is easy to manage and an excellent solution for data classification. It is the best solution I have ever used. We prefer Symantec to other solutions because their products are not difficult to integrate with a single console that is easy to manage.

I would rate DLP as five out of ten.

I would rate DLP seven out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others. I rate Symantec Data Loss Prevention a seven out of ten.

I rate Symantec Data Loss Prevention an eight out of ten.

The solution is deployed mostly on-premises, however, you can have agents on the cloud as well, and data classification can be done there. The server can be deployed on the cloud. It can be a hybrid as well. That said, it's mostly deployed on-prem. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others. I rate Symantec Data Loss Prevention a nine out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others if it fits their companies requirements. I would advise those dealing with critical sensitive information to use Symantec, such as in the health care industry. If the data is not as sensitive, I would recommend Microsoft. I rate Symantec Data Loss Prevention an eight out of ten.

I rate this solution an eight out of 10.

We are implementors. As of now, in my current company, I was designed to DLP around seven months back. My previous company is a service-based company. Normally we will connect with other partners. Usually, we are service providers, so we'll take the project from Symantec and we will implement the approach for our business partners. Then we'll go directly to the onset location and we'll stay there and we'll do the implementation and we'll create a policy, as per the requirements. We'll do the handout documents to the management team, and we'll relocate them to the local engineers. These kinds of activities I've done. For around four years, I've continuously been doing this DLP and encryption. I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it at a ten out of ten.

I would recommend this product to other organizations, however, I would warn them it's difficult to maintain due to its architecture.

Unfortunately, I can't recommend Symantec DLP to potential users. This is because the support isn't good. So in that aspect, unfortunately, I cannot recommend Symantec. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Symantec DLP a three.

Technical support is very poor. I am frustrated and irritated by the issue, so it is difficult to offer advice or recommend this solution. If someone would ask me if they should implement this solution, I would have to say no, only because of the support issue. It is a very big concern. I would rate this solution a four out of ten.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because there are certain things that need improvement. My advice to someone considering this solution is to look at your needs. Try a few products because there are some features that exist in other solutions like Forcepoint that do not exist in Palo Alto. You should choose a solution based on your needs. I would recommend Symantec depending on the needs of the clients, but for me, Symantec is the best on the market.

We're just a customer. We aren't a Symantec partner or reseller. We recently upgraded to version 15. We like the solution. Currently, there are no plans to switch to a different product. I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. I'd rate it eight out of ten overall.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We are using the on-premises deployment model. I would advise others that the solution does need careful planning before attempting an implementation. I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

I would recommend others to read the manual carefully before they start implementing it because it explains every small detail on how it works. I will rate it a nine out of ten.

My advice is that the DLP solution is the emerging platform in the world at the moment. First, we had to get some idea on how data works at the customers: data in motion, data in rest, data traveling, etc. Typically data travels through emails from the endpoint by USB, email and CD writing it to a CD or copying it to a network share or from a network share. Those are what you need to know before starting the day of implementation. How this data travels inside and outside the environment. I would rate this solution as nine out of ten, because they are a leader, competing with some other vendors, providing updates, releasing new versions, and providing technical improvements on their side. I would say it's fine.

We plan to increase our usage of this type of product since our clientele is increasing in numbers.

Determine what data you want to protect before implementing this solution.

We have around 1,500 users in HR, admin, the finance department, and IT. For maintenance of the solution we have two people. It's covering all users at the moment so there are no plans to increase usage. I rate the solution at eight out of ten. It is fulfilling our requirements.

We are actively looking for a product that handles virtualization easily and efficiently. We would like to see support for virtual environments. I would rate this product an eight out of ten.
