Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.

Comes with data leak protection features but technical support is too slow
We use the solution for endpoints.  The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection.  Safetica ONE's technical support is too slow.  I have been using the product for six months.  I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.  I rate Safetica ONE's scalability a five out of…
ARAVINDAN K - PeerSpot reviewer
Strengthened security operations with endpoint-level protection but database flexibility could improve
Symantec Data Loss Prevention has proprietary metadata and is well-suited for endpoint-level security. It stands out for supporting multiple protocols like email and SMTP without needing user profile login for endpoint agents. Once policies are downloaded to the local system, they function independently of a user's login. The solution helps enhance security operations when integrated with ServiceNow and offers robust incident response capabilities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Cloudflare consolidates various capabilities into one product, streamlining processes."
"Cloudflare is a security SaaS provider that provides security and protects us from any application layer attack."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"The most valuable feature is its usability."
"The web application firewall brought us good security and a view of the accesses/blocks of the entire domain and subdomain that were accessed both by region (country) and IPs."
"The solution is stable, and the DNS servers are simple to use."
"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."
"Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."
"The most valuable feature is the data classification."
"The current version of the solution is stable...It is easy to scale the solution."
"Safetica ONE is easy to use and set up. We can set up rules and policies quickly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."
"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."
"Technical support is very professional and responsive."
"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."
"Symantec has one of the best incident management capabilities."
"I like how I have the possibility to check different channels with the same policy set."
"The detection capabilities are comprehensive."
"We can integrate with some other tools such as Splunk, which is very useful."
"An excellent solution for data classification."
"Users like the product because of its simplicity and the rate of detection."
 

Cons

"Support response time could be improved."
"The documentation could improve for Cloudflare DNS."
"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."
"The product needs to improve its automation."
"Latencies are always a problem."
"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to buy Cloudflare in my country."
"The analytics, basically the dashboard, doesn't have much to it."
"I think the APIs are a little bit hard for us to work with. The APIs could be more open so that we could integrate better with our SolarWinds or our monitoring solution."
"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."
"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."
"Safetica One has every other thing that you need, so I cannot give Safetica NXT a higher mark because it does not have the full features of the enterprise solutions."
"This solution could be improved if it was available on Linux as well. Currently it can only be deployed on Mac and Windows."
"The product needs to improve support."
"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."
"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"Updates sometimes overlap, causing technical errors."
"The product must provide data encryption."
"Since being acquired by Broadcom, the support has really degraded for small and medium enterprises."
"Sometimes setting up the solution can get a little tricky because it would depend on your internal infrastructure. For example, you have to connect the Symantec Data Loss Prevention platform and you need to integrate it, so that could make the process somewhat difficult."
"The console is not the best one. There is room for improvement in the management console."
"The policies need to be improved."
"From a management perspective, it takes a lot of time to manage the infrastructure."
"The enforce service is difficult to understand, and free courses made available on the internet would be useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free version."
"A free version of the solution is available."
"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."
"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution."
"It's a premium model. You can start at zero and work your way up to the enterprise model, which has a very high pricing level."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The pricing for ESET Safetica is less as compared to other solutions. The customers have to pay only for the license."
"Customers need to pay for a yearly license per device."
"Safetica ONE is expensive."
"The licensing cost for this solution depends on the deal size and your use case. In our instance, it costs $35 per user per year. This is a reasonable price."
"DLP could be a bit cheaper."
"If you are a small firm with less than 150 users, Symantec can be too pricey."
"The product is high-priced."
"In terms of pricing, Symantec DLP offers reasonable rates compared to other products like Forcepoint or Jargill, making it a good investment for ROI, typically seen within two years."
"I think it is an expensive tool."
"From what I know the pricing is good, it's not too expensive. If you negotiate you can get a good price."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"Support is a little costly, but you get what you pay for."
