Featured Reviews

Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.
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.
Dinesh Kaarthik - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution that provides data protection and employee monitoring features in a single console
If a person wants to use a DLP product, they must know what data they want to protect and how to block, allow, and monitor data. We will not have any issues if the policies are correct and the user is authorized to perform the actions. Uninstalling is also pretty quick. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"From what I've seen so far, there are no negatives to report as of yet"
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"Even when there is a high load on our servers, Cloudflare is able to cache the data and serve it to users, ensuring they can still access the website."
"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"
"The UI is good."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is its global reach and it is always evolving."
"DLP's most valuable feature is compliance."
"The most valuable aspect of Symantec DLP is its broad coverage. Symantec DLP covers USB, Outlook email clients, and web traffic. If we install the endpoint DLP, we can cover multiple channels, including the clipboard and printer."
"The incident response capability has been instrumental in mitigating potential data loss."
"The Network Monitor component is the most advanced on the market. Combined with the other Network DLP components."
"We work in the banking field. We deploy data loss prevention. Our branch protects our clients' data, credit card numbers, account numbers, and other confidential and sensitive data."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Data Loss Prevention is the ease of modification."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be partial enlisting."
"I have never experienced any stability issues during the eight years of using the solution."
"The product provides data protection and employee monitoring features in a single console."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare could offer a better view or maybe dashboards of the main resources used in the client."
"They lack a good way to manage DNS as a company, since everything is relegated to single account logins until you get to the higher levels. They have come out with a paid feature to remedy this, but I have not had a chance to fully review it yet to know if it fixes the access problem."
"The integration of LLMs on the dashboard is something that is needed in the tool."
"Cloudflare doesn't have a reverse lookup. We can only do a DNS lookup to get the IP address from the hostname. It doesn't work if you want to look up the hostname from an IPA address."
"I think the APIs are a little bit hard for us to work with. The APIs could be more open so that we could integrate better with our SolarWinds or our monitoring solution."
"It should be easier to collect the logs with companies like Sumo. However, based on my discussions with the salespeople, I understand that's how they make their money. With the enterprise product, they want people doing those kinds of enterprise features to do the logging. They want them to pay a lot of money, and that's where I have an issue with them. That should be a default. You should be able to get the log no matter what. The logging should be universal."
"The reporting can definitely be improved to offer a lot more explanation on something that may have happened or has actually happened."
"The tool needs to improve caching of servers. The product needs to include PFX certificate as well."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's AI technology has certain shortcomings where improvements can be made."
"There should be more documentation with Symantec Data Loss Prevention. We had trouble with the first few deployments."
"From a management perspective, it takes a lot of time to manage the infrastructure."
"I do have a problem with the database."
"The creation of any new policy in Symantec Data Loss Prevention needs to be made easier."
"Agent configuration should be improved for easier interaction for users, particularly by allowing configuration changes to be done on a grid."
"We lost a POC despite installing 2,000 endpoints because Symantec Data Loss Prevention is more expensive compared to other solutions."
"A significant area for improvement in the product is reducing the number of agents required and improving integration as a unified client ecosystem."
"The user experience should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution."
"The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"It's a premium model. You can start at zero and work your way up to the enterprise model, which has a very high pricing level."
"I think it is an expensive tool."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"From what I know the pricing is good, it's not too expensive. If you negotiate you can get a good price."
"In terms of pricing, Symantec DLP offers reasonable rates compared to other products like Forcepoint or Jargill, making it a good investment for ROI, typically seen within two years."
"Pricing is above average."
"I think that it's an expensive product, even as an enterprise-suite product."
"The pricing is competitive and not pricey. We also receive corporate discounts."
