Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product’s strict policies are its best features.""The detection and alert features are valuable."

More ManageEngine DataSecurity Pros →

"The data matching features are the most valuable due to the easy policy setup and implementation.""The synchronize application detection policies have been very good.""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.""The dashboard, management section, and reporting are 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 product is very robust.""One of the most valuable features is that you can check attachments.""An excellent solution for data classification."

Cons
"The interface must be improved.""The vendor must provide a cloud solution."

More ManageEngine DataSecurity Cons →

"DLP could be improved by implementing a cloud-based console.""Their support program needs a lot of improvement. If you are stuck somewhere, getting their support can be difficult.""The product must improve its interface.""Symantec could be better with infrastructure.""There should be more documentation with Symantec Data Loss Prevention. We had trouble with the first few deployments.""I would like to see changes to the analytics.""The solution could offer improved more informative documentation.""The product's pricing and support services need improvement."

    Overview

    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
