Enables organizations to monitor the network and protect themselves from data leakage
The initial setup process is very simple and easy. We have no issues to do it for ourselves or our customers. The deployment takes less than 20 days. The integration is very simple. However, first, we must understand what we want to have on our network and what we want to prevent. If we don't have this information before we start the configuration, we will be lost. We must know what kind of protection we need in our company. We have LGPD in Brazil. It is similar to GDPR in Europe. It prevents any personal information from being linked to other companies without permission. We have to take care of the personal information of our customers, employees, and partners. To deploy the tool, we must understand what we need to do. We must download the whole package and have our infrastructure ready to receive it. We must get the SSL certification and start to configure our platform. When the process is finished, we must roll out a small portion of our network to ensure everything will be well. After that, we must do the full rollout.

Experienced implementation enhances security with robust detection and centralized management
A significant case highlighted an improvement need when a banking company lost 500 customer information pieces through screenshots. The data theft occurred through individual screenshots of credit note pages rather than taking complete PDF files. This incident led to the suggestion for implementing image detection methods, as Data Loss Prevention solutions needed to analyze image details. Symantec responded by creating an OCR module, enabling the capability to search within images. The pricing structure remains an area for improvement. We lost a POC despite installing 2,000 endpoints because Symantec Data Loss Prevention is more expensive compared to other solutions. Although the competing product couldn't match all the best practices, the price difference influenced the final decision.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They have a fingerprint feature that is very awesome. OCR is very awesome to have too."
"The most valuable feature is we can develop what we want. If we have an old or new requirement, they are able to support us to develop it all within one month."
"The monitoring features are valuable."
"I am impressed with the tool's ease of deployment."
"The classifications in place are very helpful in making policies for ensuring sensitive data can be contained."
"The product has a centralized console for everything."
"This solution helps classify what is confidential and what is not, allowing products to be installed at home if they do not contain confidential information."
"The main thing that I like about GTB is that it has a single agent for DLP and data classification. You can use the same agent. In terms of licensing too, it has a single license. When it comes to data classification, it supports open-source document platforms such as ChainSoft and OpenOffice."
"The most valuable feature is file-level DLP."
"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."
"I found Symantec to be user-friendly and easy to use."
"I have never experienced any stability issues during the eight years of using the solution."
"The dashboard, management section, and reporting are good."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention is completely designed for the enterprise area because it enables great segmentation."
"The product is very stable."
"The solution offers great reporting."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing additional availability requirements."
"They have a roadmap for the Linux platform and Mac as well, and in the next quarter, they might have patch management also for Windows. However, they don't have that much for Linux and Mac. So, we need those things in Linux and Mac as well."
"To stay competitive, they should expand to smartphones."
"It would be great if they have information rights management (IRM) on the same agent."
"The tool should include better AI features."
"The solution’s performance must be improved."
"The product needs to improve its support so that users can just log in and create tickets as opposed to sending emails. Sending emails is difficult to track. It also needs to work on its analytics platform."
"The performance could be better."
"A main disadvantage of Symantec DLP is its reliance on Oracle, especially compared to other products like Forcepoint, which offer MSSQL database options that are more convenient."
"Agent configuration should be improved for easier interaction for users, particularly by allowing configuration changes to be done on a grid."
"I do have a problem with the database."
"The solution could offer improved more informative documentation."
"From a management perspective, it takes a lot of time to manage the infrastructure."
"This product is very powerful but it is very complex, so making it simpler to use would be an improvement."
"DLP could be improved by implementing a cloud-based console."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention could improve by having better system resource management, cloud option, and more features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They offer a lot of features in a single bundle. So, if you want to remove some features from GTB, you can remove those. You don't need to buy those, and the price will reduce accordingly. I am very happy with the pricing."
"The tool has a fair price."
"The tool is not expensive."
"Its price is very reasonable and competitive."
"The tool's pricing is affordable and based on the number of endpoints."
"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."
"The platform is not very expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is based on a license model."
"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."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The price of Symantec Data Loss Prevention could be reduced."
"DLP could be a bit cheaper."
"The price of Symantec DLP is fair. I don't recall the cost of the license, but it wasn't outrageous enough that it was an obstacle to approval. I'm not concerned with how much per seat or server, but I know they charge a lot."
"For pricing, I rate Symantec DLP an eight out of ten."
