"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"DLP's most valuable feature is compliance."
"The dashboard, management section, and reporting are good."
"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."
"The incident response capability has been instrumental in mitigating potential data loss."
"The product helps with blocking sensitive data transmission and permission management."
"What we like about Symantec Data Loss Prevention is that it's a very good product. We never faced any problems with its performance. It has very good performance. There was this RAM issue, but it was an internal issue which we've sorted out. Apart from the RAM issue, there are no other issues with Symantec Data Loss Prevention."
"The solution needs improvement in stability. There has been feedback regarding the accuracy of file categorization."
"You need to have an external solution to backup everything. For example, you need to have Syslog installed on your server as well so that you can back it up to another place."
"There is room for improvement in the documentation around the maintenance of the product, how the automatic updates work, and pushing out new policies. A little more detail and context in that area would be helpful."
"Its scalability is not on par with the features of others."

"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."
"The enforce service is difficult to understand, and free courses made available on the internet would be useful."
"From a management perspective, it takes a lot of time to manage the infrastructure."
"Virtualization is not currently supported."
"Symantec could improve by being more creative and simplifying the functions. Additionally, the data protection should be bundled with data classification and labeling instead of them being separate."
"They need to expand the channels they check."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention could improve by having better system resource management, cloud option, and more features."
"They could improve the predefined reports because they don't have much information. We would like detailed reports."
