Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Forcepoint, Broadcom and others in Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."The Explore function is valuable for finding specific things I'm looking for."
"One thing I really like about it is the fact that we can add search words or specific payloads inside the tool, and GitGuardian will look into GitHub and alert us if any of these words is found in a repository... With this capability in the tool, we have good surveillance over our potential blind spots."
"All of the features are really important, including DLP for the OCR and endpoint. It will be all of the combined features that will give you the strength to control the data. Every feature has its own uniqueness, different control and will help you to protect the data."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution...The solution's technical support was good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is endpoint security."
"I'm able to track everyone who is trying to send information outside the environment and to know if they are not supposed to be sending it. I'm also able to see the people who are accessing or maybe try to access the information they are not supposed to be accessing based on their level of classification. It gives me overall control of who has got access to what and at what point. And who can do what with specific information."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be partial enlisting."
"The incident response capability has been instrumental in mitigating potential data loss."
"I would like to see improvement in some of the user interface features... When one secret is leaked in multiple files or multiple repositories, it will appear on the dashboard. But when you click on that secret, all the occurrences will appear on the page. It would be better to have one secret per occurrence, directly, so that we don't have to click to get to the list of all the occurrences."
"I'm excited about the possibility of Public Postman scanning being integrated with GitGuardian in the future. Additionally, I'm interested in exploring the potential use of honeytokens, which seems like a compelling approach to lure and identify attackers."
"We need to have agent auto-parsing."
"I would like to see changes to the analytics."
"We want a more proactive reporting structure."
"There should be more documentation with Symantec Data Loss Prevention. We had trouble with the first few deployments."
"The policies need to be improved."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's AI technology has certain shortcomings where improvements can be made."
"I would like to see an improved interface, with better documentation and integration with other products."
"What could be improved in Symantec Data Loss Prevention is its security. It should be more secure."
