Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 3, 2024

Symantec Data Loss Prevention and GTB Technologies Inspector are key players in the data security category. GTB Technologies Inspector has the upper hand due to its more cost-effective pricing and efficient single-agent architecture.

Features: Symantec Data Loss Prevention offers advanced network and endpoint modules with machine learning capabilities, supports encryption, and includes document indexing for better data management. GTB Technologies Inspector features a single-agent architecture, enabling seamless data classification, efficient document fingerprinting, and OCR capabilities without additional purchases.

Room for Improvement: Symantec's reliance on Oracle complicates implementation, along with usability issues and slow technical support. It also struggles with false positives. GTB Technologies Inspector could enhance processing time and analytics integration, though it provides a simpler user interface with fewer implementation challenges.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Symantec is mainly deployed on-premises with some hybrid options, offering valuable on-site support but facing criticism for slow service since the Broadcom acquisition. GTB Technologies Inspector provides reliable support with on-premises and hybrid cloud deployment, noted for prompt issue resolution and client-focused solutions.

Pricing and ROI: Symantec’s per-user pricing is generally seen as expensive for small businesses due to the need for Oracle Database licenses. GTB Technologies Inspector offers more flexible and cost-effective endpoint-based licensing, allowing perceived quicker financial recovery. Both solutions deliver strong ROI, with GTB's model favoring faster recuperation.

Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

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.

Pros

"What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection."

"Cloudflare Access is part of the Zero Trust philosophy."

"The blocking feature is very good."

"Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement."

"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."

"Clover is the best product globally."

"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."

"For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."

More Cloudflare One 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."

"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 product has a centralized console for everything."

"The main thing that I like about GTB is that it has a single agent for DLP and data classification."

"All features in GTB are very valuable and effective."

"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."

"The monitoring features are valuable."

More GTB Technologies Inspector pros

"The dashboard, management section, and reporting are good."

"The Network Monitor component is the most advanced on the market. Combined with the other Network DLP components."

"The most valuable features of Symantec Data Loss Prevention are endpoint security, endpoint agent, and DLP. Additionally, we have been satisfied with the policies."

"Symantec DLP has many servers, and the solution is very powerful because you can use it in ports, endpoints, networks, and email servers to prevent the leakage of emails. DLP can be integrated with Symantec encryption."

"Previously, what was happening was that anyone could send any data outside; we now know who is sending what data and where, and we can then question them: "Why have you sent that 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."

"They have a feature on the management side called the document indexer. Let's say you have a unique document with many near identical versions, which have one or several values that change, while the rest of the content stays the same. You can collect 50 of those documents and put them into this feature of the Symantec DLP system. It will compress them and create a profile specifically for that document."

"Technical support is very professional and responsive."

More Symantec Data Loss Prevention pros

Cons

"Lacks a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."

"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."

"I would like them to include a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"The response time for support must be reduced."

"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."

"They don't have a person to provide support for customers using the solution under their free plan."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."

More Cloudflare One cons

"The tool should include better AI features."

"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."

"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 solution could improve by providing additional availability requirements."

"To stay competitive, they should expand to smartphones."

"It would be great if they have information rights management (IRM) on the same agent."

"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."

More GTB Technologies Inspector cons

"The solution relies on and Oracle database which is not financially feasible for many customers."

"I would like to see an improved interface, with better documentation and integration with other products."

"We lost a POC despite installing 2,000 endpoints because Symantec Data Loss Prevention is more expensive compared to other solutions."

"Updates sometimes overlap, causing technical errors."

"Since being acquired by Broadcom, the support has really degraded for small and medium enterprises."

"We're not sure if there was an issue or a bug on the system recently because as of right now if someone sends out a compressed encrypted file, the DLP won't scan it."

"That fine tuning has to be done for the customer as well as the vendor. So if I take Symantec DLP, we have to have some final fine tuning but we may need some time developing this depending on the customer. This is an area where something can be done to improve the product."

"I would like to see a reduction in false positives."

More Symantec Data Loss Prevention cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"The solution is not that expensive."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."

"The tool has a fair price."

"The tool is not expensive."

"Its price is very reasonable and competitive."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"The product charges a little on the higher side."

"I think that it's an expensive product, even as an enterprise-suite product."

"The solution's pricing is based on a license model."

Keeping sensitive corporate information safe and compliant has never been easy. But today, you’re faced with a totally new set of data protection challenges. Sensitive information is leaving the safety of your corporate network as more employees share files over consumer cloud storage services and access those files on their own mobile devices. The number of targeted cyber attacks continues to grow, as cybercriminals develop effective new methods for defeating traditional security measures and stealing corporate information. And as all of these factors converge, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage corporate information and protect it against loss and theft.

Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) provides a comprehensive approach to information protection that embraces today’s cloud- and mobile-centered realities. With DLP, you can:

• Discover where data is stored across all of your cloud, mobile, network, endpoint, and storage systems

• Monitor how data is being used, whether your employees are on or off the network

• Protect data from being leaked or stolen—no matter where it’s stored or how it’s used
