Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 3, 2024

Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Safetica ONE compete in the data protection market. Symantec DLP seems to have the upper hand with its advanced document fingerprinting and machine learning capabilities, although Safetica ONE excels in ease of use and pricing.

Features: Symantec Data Loss Prevention offers advanced document fingerprinting, exact data matching, and machine learning capabilities that reduce false positives. It provides robust endpoint protection and excels in network components, effectively discovering and securing data across an organization. Safetica ONE offers comprehensive data leak prevention, is user-friendly, and rightly focuses on compliance, making it a cost-effective choice for enterprises.

Room for Improvement: Symantec DLP struggles with complexity and Oracle dependency, making installation and scalability challenging. Its machine learning algorithms need stability and customer support has weakened post-Broadcom acquisition. Safetica ONE requires feature depth enhancement and Linux compatibility, limiting its appeal to larger enterprises. Users look for faster technical support and better firewall integrations.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Symantec DLP supports extensive on-premise and hybrid cloud deployment, whereas Safetica ONE is flexible with public cloud and hybrid setups. Symantec's support quality has reportedly declined, affecting responsiveness; meanwhile, Safetica ONE benefits from local vendor support, though speed and integration remain concerns.

Pricing and ROI: Symantec DLP's pricing is considered high due to Oracle overheads, making it less attractive for small businesses despite recognized ROI in saving time and costs. Safetica ONE provides a budget-friendly alternative with simpler licensing models, appealing to price-sensitive users while still offering solid data protection value.

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.

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.

Cons

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

"The creation of any new policy in Symantec Data Loss Prevention needs to be made easier."

"What could be improved in Symantec Data Loss Prevention is its security. It should be more secure."

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
