Automating compliance processes with effective data classification
One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data. For the remaining data, even if it is PII, it may not be classified correctly. This could be due to incorrect or missing data in the dataset. Therefore, I still need to do some manual review to complete the exercise. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Securiti had a feature similar to data mesh, allowing users to directly access remote data through the Securiti UI. This would reduce the need for other tools like Snowflake.
ARAVINDAN K - PeerSpot reviewer
Strengthened security operations with endpoint-level protection but database flexibility could improve
Symantec Data Loss Prevention has proprietary metadata and is well-suited for endpoint-level security. It stands out for supporting multiple protocols like email and SMTP without needing user profile login for endpoint agents. Once policies are downloaded to the local system, they function independently of a user's login. The solution helps enhance security operations when integrated with ServiceNow and offers robust incident response capabilities.

"While the software is functionally robust and intuitive, there is a challenging learning curve."
"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."
"With the formation and education, specifically the security education, they could update the educational video more often."
"Fraud prevention could be improved. If a criminal accesses my system and obtains my information, they might commit fraud."

"One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data."

Additionally, it would be beneficial to add features that allow for better policy integration with GDPR, such as international credit, bank account, or identity management. This would make it more straightforward for IT, especially in regions like Indonesia."
"In the object capture recognition, which we implemented recently, there are a lot of false positives that have been happening."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention could improve by having better system resource management, cloud option, and more features."
"The one downside for Symantec is that, due to its transition from Symantec to Broadcom, there's been a lot of changes. I am based in the Philippines and we don't have a contact person locally for any Symantec."
