We compared Endpoint Protector and Symantec Data Loss Prevention based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: The pricing of these two solutions is comparable. However, Endpoint Protector comes out on top in this comparison due to the complexity of Symantec’s deployment process, its possibly ineffective support, and lack of ROI data.
"We like that content-aware and device controls can easily be managed. They're not complicated. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand them."
"I like the data protection feature. Our users were working on a client's CRM application with a lot of client-related EIA information. We did not want the users to be able to send any of this data outside. I also like its ability to protect against data leaks via emails and social media. I like that you can deploy it quickly, and it requires no training."
"Endpoint Protector's best features are its protection and user-friendliness."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is file-level DLP."
"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 most valuable feature of Symantec Data Loss Prevention is the ease of modification."
"Users like the product because of its simplicity and the rate of detection."
"DLP's most valuable feature is compliance."
"It has good options for policy findings. You can do granular policy enhancements with multiple options. And the SMB blocking is a very good feature."
"The solution is simple to use with good administrative controls and a console that is easy to understand."
"Endpoint Protector would be improved with more DLP templates."
"Because it is only an Endpoint Protector at this point in time, it does not have a network DLP component. There's only an endpoint DLP component. In the future, it would be good if a network DLP component could be embedded and extended to have network DLP capabilities."
"It would be better if they had an inbound restriction feature. For example, I work out of my home from my personal computer. All my policies can be deployed while working. When I am done, I should be able to use my machine as my personal machine, and all these policies should be waived. In the next release, I want time bound restriction of the policies because most of these users were working out of home and using their personal computers."
"There should be more documentation with Symantec Data Loss Prevention. We had trouble with the first few deployments."
"The solution relies on and Oracle database which is not financially feasible for many customers."
"The product must improve its interface."
"What could be improved in Symantec Data Loss Prevention is its security. It should be more secure."
"We need to have agent auto-parsing."
"Different departments should manage administration, reporting, normalization and incident management."
"They need to expand the channels they check."
"Symantec DLP doesn't provide complete cloud coverage. We need another DLP solution to monitor our cloud applications."
