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

"The overall experience with Cloudflare is positive, with a rating of eight out of ten."
"I like Cloudflare's application gateway and DDoS protection."
"The solution is very good at mitigating threats."
"I get a lot of value from Cloudflare's API because it enables you to build a separate environment inside the solution. You can create a domain for performing test requests before you move to the production environment and connect various domains."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is its global reach and it is always evolving."
"Generally, I am satisfied with this product."
"Cloudflare has many features."
"Its ease of integration with Office 365 and the fact that it's a good product compared to what I had before"
"I have found the most valuable feature to be partial enlisting."
"An excellent solution for data classification."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is endpoint security."
"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 Network Monitor component is the most advanced on the market. Combined with the other Network DLP components."
"I have never experienced any stability issues during the eight years of using the solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is a scalable solution...The solution's technical support was good."
"There are no issues with the interface."
"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is a reliable product."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"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."
"It is a scalable product."
"Everyone can use this tool."
"Trend Micro has improved my client's organization by recovering malware disabled network adaptors from servers."
"The basic setup, like configuring servers or deploying the SaaS platform and agent implementation, is straightforward."
 

Cons

"For large enterprises, the pricing is okay. However, the enterprise price for small projects is a bit high. A mid-tier pricing option would be beneficial."
"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"Although I think it's quite good, it doesn't provide me with all the features I would expect to have if I were using Imperva."
"If they improve on the placement of their data centers, it would be better. I'm living in a remote area. I would like to connect to them without any kind of lag."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"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."
"Sometimes their more advanced caching tools can cause higher first-byte times and problems with JavaScript."
"The timing aspect can lead to it being considered overpriced. This is a particular concern we have with Cloudflare, as they may struggle with accurately detecting the client."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's AI technology has certain shortcomings where improvements can be made."
"We're not sure if there was an issue or a bug on the system recently because as of right now if someone sends out a compressed encrypted file, the DLP won't scan it."
"There should be more information about the features of the solution and what they do. This way we would be able to use all the features that are available."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Symantec DLP doesn't provide complete cloud coverage. We need another DLP solution to monitor our cloud applications."
"The product must improve its interface."
"A significant area for improvement in the product is reducing the number of agents required and improving integration as a unified client ecosystem."
"Different departments should manage administration, reporting, normalization and incident management."
"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."
"The platform's support structure for government-specific domain requirements could be improved."
"Being able to specify an agent list, or client list, to allow support from outside of the organization, would be of benefit to this solution."
"Typically, DLP solutions do not cover emails without an additional component, which necessitates a dual-service proposal. Comparatively, on-premises deployments offer more features locally than online or remote deployments, which sometimes face challenges with feature support. This is a common issue with Trend."
"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."
"Needs a remote login option."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."
"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."
"We are using the free version."
"We don't have any issues with the price."
"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"I think it is an expensive tool."
"The product is high-priced."
"The price is competitive."
"The pricing is competitive and not pricey. We also receive corporate discounts."
"The pricing and licensing are based on per user endpoints."
"The product charges a little on the higher side."
"For pricing, I rate Symantec DLP an eight out of ten."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"It's relatively cheap so the pricing is okay."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap solution. I rate the solution's pricing a two on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"It's not too expensive, especially when compared to SecureTech, and Forcepoint. It's actually cheaper. A license costs about INR 4,000 to INR 5,000, roughly $60 per license per year. In comparison, Forcepoint licenses are around $90 to $95."
"The platform is expensive. We purchase its yearly license."
"The product is worth the money you pay for it. It is not an expensive solution."
"The client needs to pay for the Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention license on an annual basis."
