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.

Consitent, accurate, and simple
I'm not sure about scanning speeds. In my previous experience, we had some problems and some speed issues. The data loss prevention feature is working pretty well; however, sometimes, if you want to discover or scan the data stored in the customer environment, it could take a long time. Sometimes the customer states, "I want to scan a computer," and it takes a few hours. It seems to sometimes be unnecessarily long. Reporting could be improved. The detection features are good, and the configuration is basic. It's really easy to use, or it's really to learn from scratch. However, the reporting features must be improved as the product doesn't provide us with many reporting screens. We only have an incident results screen, and we have filters we can use, and that's it. There are no other reporting features. It's really limited.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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. 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."
"I am impressed with the tool's ease of deployment."
"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 classifications in place are very helpful in making policies for ensuring sensitive data can be contained."
"The monitoring features are valuable."
"We work in the banking field. We deploy data loss prevention. Our branch protects our clients' data, credit card numbers, account numbers, and other confidential and sensitive data."
"For detection, it has a great algorithm. It can recognize ID numbers and everything that you put in a policy for the end-users. That is really great for us as an institution where we have sensitive data. It recognizes all the sensitive data when someone tries to transfer it or put in other data."
"An excellent solution for data classification."
"The accuracy in terms of the rate of detection is good."
"DLP's most valuable feature is compliance."
"The solution is simple to use with good administrative controls and a console that is easy to understand."
"One of the most valuable features is that you can check attachments."
"The most valuable aspect of Symantec DLP is its broad coverage. Symantec DLP covers USB, Outlook email clients, and web traffic. If we install the endpoint DLP, we can cover multiple channels, including the clipboard and printer."
 

Cons

"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."
"To stay competitive, they should expand to smartphones."
"The performance could be better."
"It would be great if they have information rights management (IRM) on the same agent."
"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."
"Their support program needs a lot of improvement. If you are stuck somewhere, getting their support can be difficult."
"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."
"Agent configuration should be improved for easier interaction for users, particularly by allowing configuration changes to be done on a grid."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's AI technology has certain shortcomings where improvements can be made."
"The enforce service is difficult to understand, and free courses made available on the internet would be useful."
"I would like to see changes to the analytics."
"The product's pricing and support services need improvement."
"A significant area for improvement in the product is reducing the number of agents required and improving integration as a unified client ecosystem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is affordable and based on the number of endpoints."
"Its price is very reasonable and competitive."
"The tool is not expensive."
"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."
"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."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"We are happy with the pricing and licencing."
"In terms of pricing, Symantec DLP works with Oracle Database. Oracle Database licensing is much more expensive than other databases. That might be a drawback for customers. The pricing is on a yearly subscription basis."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"DLP could be a bit cheaper."
"The product is high-priced."
"The platform is not very expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"From what I know the pricing is good, it's not too expensive. If you negotiate you can get a good price."
