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.
Vikas Saxena - PeerSpot reviewer
Email scanning and keyword monitoring improve compliance with data policies
Trend Micro DLP allows me to scan and monitor emails for specific words, ensuring compliance with data loss prevention policies. The DLP system captures keywords from email headers and subjects, and if those words are present, the DLP system operates accordingly. I also use DLP for monitoring data at rest, data in transit, and external devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"The solution is stable, and the DNS servers are simple to use."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a ten out of ten...I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"The solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is external DNS. It is also very secure. They have their own main server and once you configure it, the product takes care of everything. There are no issues in resolving IPs and low latency is also present."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."
"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"I have never experienced any stability issues during the eight years of using the solution."
"The dashboard, management section, and reporting are good."
"The tool's really working well, and the agents are good."
"We find the product is easy to manage and maintain."
"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."
"The features I like most about this solution is the endpoint modules because it gives us the protection we need."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution...The solution's technical support was good."
"We find the malware scanning and intrusion detection most valuable for our server management requirements. We can find out who is on our servers and what they have done."
"I'm not an administrator of Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention, but an end-user, and what I like about it is that it can detect events that could cause data loss. It's a good solution."
"The most values feature of this solution are the micro DLP features."
"There are no issues with the interface."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"Everyone can use this tool."
"We use Trend Micro mainly to monitor user activities, such as tracking the websites they visit and purchase items. Additionally, we focus on identifying and addressing antivirus threats. We used to explore a feature related to proxy but decided against it as an enterprise solution wasn't readily available for us. Our primary use of Trend Micro revolves around end-user security. Integration with Active Directory has proven beneficial, allowing us to easily push updates or changes directly from the console."
"The interface and dashboard are okay."
 

Cons

"Eventually, things go sideways and require fixes when it would have been easier to prevent the issue initially."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."
"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."
"Integration involving API with other products could be more user-friendly."
"There might be helpful if there was some web application firewall feature."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"The product support needs to be accessible from more places, a wider area of coverage."
"The deployment is complex."
"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."
"Virtualization is not currently supported."
"We need to have agent auto-parsing."
"The Symantec DLP solution is very complex, and installation requires many components."
"We lost a POC despite installing 2,000 endpoints because Symantec Data Loss Prevention is more expensive compared to other solutions."
"The policies need to be improved."
"Needs a remote login option."
"There is a need for more predefined templates in the DLP tool."
"The platform's support structure for government-specific domain requirements could be improved."
"They could improve the product's data loss policies."
"Within the solution, many of the functions do not perform as intended...It is not a stable solution...It is not a scalable solution."
"It's hard for me to answer any questions about missing features. It's the outside companies who support us that manage this DLP solution at this moment."
"I would like to provide improved network direction in order to regulate all of the user agents. We only use Trend Micro Data Loss Prevention to manage various threats and malicious user agents currently."
"Most of the functions don't work in the way that they are supposed to."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"For Cloudflare, I recommend it heavily for small businesses with revenue under a couple of million dollars. Onboarding is easy, and they even have a free plan. This makes it simple for businesses in the $100,000-$500,000 range to try it out and see its value, allowing them to scale up their infrastructure as needed."
"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."

"We don't have any issues with the price."
"Support is a little costly, but you get what you pay for."
