We performed a comparison between Code42 Incydr and Symantec Data Loss Prevention based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Backup and recovery have been great, but I love having the ability to keep the hybrid type build which they offer."
"Risk factors can be adjusted for all intricate details."
"Security tools: Being able to monitor data going in and coming off our endpoints. Seeing what it is and where it's going is awesome."
"It had the ability to preseed by sending in a data drive and could restore by sending the user a data drive."
"It has quite a bit of flexibility in configuring backup sets."
"It required very little ongoing maintenance once setup."
"Code42 Next-Gen DLP is scalable."
"There are a couple of things. One of them is that they have what they call Incydr. Their detection and response solution to the insider threat area is called Incydr. That gives visibility to the clients that have widely dispersed employee bases due to work from home, or that had a dispersed workforce predating any of the work from home requirements. Even though they might not be inside the organization physically, they're inside the organization. It allows us to get some visibility into what people are doing, what the context is, and how to control what might be the potential for intellectual property theft or file exposure."
"We are able to contain our confidential data in our environment."
"The data matching features are the most valuable due to the easy policy setup and implementation."
"The dashboard, management section, and reporting are good."
"Technical support is very professional and responsive."
"The most valuable feature is file-level DLP."
"We can integrate with some other tools such as Splunk, which is very useful."
"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."
"Users like the product because of its simplicity and the rate of detection."
"Java, please get rid of Java."
"More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD)."
"In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue."
"I think one we can improve is the compression."
"I would like to see more flexibility on privileges, perhaps create another kind of admin for regions. Also, I would like the ability to access logs without having to be on the actual device or a super-admin."
"Due to recent changes that effectively abandoned an entire segment of their user base, I no longer trust nor can recommend Code42 products."
"Reporting could use an overhaul. It is very limited."
"There doesn't seem to be any feature that is lacking."
"We want a more proactive reporting structure."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The Symantec DLP solution is very complex, and installation requires many components."
"I would like to see an improved interface, with better documentation and integration with other products."
"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."
"There should be more documentation with Symantec Data Loss Prevention. We had trouble with the first few deployments."
"That fine tuning has to be done for the customer as well as the vendor. So if I take Symantec DLP, we have to have some final fine tuning but we may need some time developing this depending on the customer. This is an area where something can be done to improve the product."
"The console is not the best one. There is room for improvement in the management console."
