"The feature we call desktop recording is the most valuable aspect of the solution. Not only can we collect data from the user's usage, but we also capture his screenshots when he is trying to steal the data."
"It can scale from 100 to 10,000. There's no problem with the scalability."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Data Loss Prevention are endpoint security, endpoint agent, and DLP. Additionally, we have been satisfied with the policies."

"What I like about Symantec Data Loss Prevention is the technical support it provides. It's good."
"We can integrate with some other tools such as Splunk, which is very useful."
"The solution offers great reporting."
"With respect to the amount of intelligence that they have with respect to how they formed the DLP solution, for example, exact data matching. If you compare Forcepoint with Symantec, Symantec is more sophisticated than Forcepoint."
"There are a lot of issues with the current version of the Endpoint agent. It's not stable, it's resource-consuming, and there are some performance issues. If they could improve the stability of the agent it would be great."
"Some features on Mac and Linux are not complete currently. For example, some device control features haven't been transferred over to the other systems. If they could have their Windows features also available on Mac and Linux, that would be perfect. Some of our customers have a Mac environment for their RD environment. Having the solution fully capable of handling everything in a Mac environment is crucial."
"DLP could be improved by implementing a cloud-based console."
"There should be more documentation with Symantec Data Loss Prevention. We had trouble with the first few deployments."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention could improve by having better system resource management, cloud option, and more features."

"The deployment is complex."
"It is very difficult to log in to create a support ticket because no one is available to support our queries."
"Symantec could improve by being more creative and simplifying the functions. Additionally, the data protection should be bundled with data classification and labeling instead of them being separate."
