We performed a comparison between Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention and Symantec Data Loss Prevention based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The auto-labeling feature is definitely the most valuable feature. It goes in and labels the documents for you in different repositories. It covers the Outlook and Exchange repositories along with SharePoint and OneDrive. It is really helpful in those areas."
"It has helped our clients to reduce the time to action on insider threats because it can be integrated."
"There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems."
"What I like about Symantec Data Loss Prevention is the technical support it provides. It's good."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Data Loss Prevention are endpoint security, endpoint agent, and DLP. Additionally, we have been satisfied with the policies."
"The exfiltration capabilities are great. You can put all of these rules in the product to detect the patterns and text."
"Technical support is very professional and responsive."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be partial enlisting."
"Good end point encryption and data loss prevention."
"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."
"The tool's really working well, and the agents are good."
"I would like Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to be on the source code or SQL databases. It is difficult to do classification and labeling when you have a third-party source code or a third-party Oracle database. It is seamless when it comes to Microsoft documents but is not so with third-party source codes. Microsoft needs to work on it a little bit more."
"There is a lot of ambiguity when you are setting up labels, such as sensitive information labels. It is a little daunting at first if you don't have prior knowledge, and there is a little bit of a learning curve for setting up the labels. Some of the setup wizards could be more helpful from an AI perspective. They can streamline the setup through more AI technologies so that you don't have to jump through so many hoops and different menus and dropdowns. It would be useful to have a setup wizard that is more hands-off and engaging for setting up the information type labels. If you tell them this is what we're trying to protect, it should basically start to lead you down that path of best practices. Such a feature would be great."
"Technical support is awful."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The policies need to be improved."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention could improve by having better system resource management, cloud option, and more features."
"The database is a problem for us, as it's running on Oracle and not everybody likes that."
"I would like to see an improved interface, with better documentation and integration with other products."
"There should be more information about the features of the solution and what they do. This way we would be able to use all the features that are available."
"The solution could offer improved more informative documentation."
"Different departments should manage administration, reporting, normalization and incident management."
