"They could help us be integrating features with solutions from third parties."

"There could be more automation features included for it."
"Their support program needs a lot of improvement. If you are stuck somewhere, getting their support can be difficult."
"The upgrade process is convoluted. The server and database software must run in line with third-party providers like the Oracle database. If an Oracle database reaches the end of its life, then servers must be decommissioned, and you need to bring new servers online. When the maintenance packages are deployed to the management server, they don't get pushed to the detection servers. Each detection server must be manually installed rather than automatically made from a single server. If it's a large enterprise, you need to manually install it or use a GPO or some other technology, which I never use."
"We are finding delayed response if the macOS is updated. They need to make sure their solution is compatible."
"The Symantec DLP solution is very complex, and installation requires many components."
"From a management perspective, it takes a lot of time to manage the infrastructure."
"What could be improved in Symantec Data Loss Prevention is its security. It should be more secure."
"The console is not the best one. There is room for improvement in the management console."
"The product must improve its interface."
