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 solution provides good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is its global reach and it is always evolving."
"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"It's a great product because it's scalable, has great coverage, and is mature with good defenses against DDoS attacks."
"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 is its usability."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Data Loss Prevention is the ease of modification."
"DLP's most valuable feature is that it's more granular in terms of creating block-based policies, which gives you more options to create policies in a filtered way."
"DLP's most valuable feature is compliance."
"It is a scalable solution...The solution's technical support was good."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Data Loss Prevention are endpoint security, endpoint agent, and DLP. Additionally, we have been satisfied with the policies."
"The solution can easily scale."
"What we like about Symantec Data Loss Prevention is that it's a very good product. We never faced any problems with its performance. It has very good performance. There was this RAM issue, but it was an internal issue which we've sorted out. Apart from the RAM issue, there are no other issues with Symantec Data Loss Prevention."
"Among the many features, I like the comprehensive support for features across network stages and email. Customers are very happy with its prevention capabilities, as there is no delay in action when new policies are applied. Regarding incident response abilities, it is helpful, although we receive about 10%-20% false positives."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is a reliable product."
"Trend Micro DLP allows me to scan and monitor emails for specific words, ensuring compliance with data loss prevention policies."
"It is a scalable product."
"The basic setup, like configuring servers or deploying the SaaS platform and agent implementation, is straightforward."
"The interface and dashboard are okay."
"We find the initial setup to be very easy."
 

Cons

"One area of improvement is in the Access Rules. Hypothetically, if we wanted to block or challenge traffic outside of the United States, the only way to currently do that (as far as I know) is to enter every single country outside of the United States. That could be a labor intensive job. A solution could be to enable users to create a rule where traffic is only allowed within a certain country."
"There are some issues with the CDN services."
"Cloudflare could offer a better view or maybe dashboards of the main resources used in the client."
"The product needs to improve its automation."
"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."
"The documentation could improve for Cloudflare DNS."
"The pricing could be improved."
"There should be a specific price list for enterprise-level customers."
"The console is not the best one. There is room for improvement in the management console."
"This product is very powerful but it is very complex, so making it simpler to use would be an improvement."
"We need to have agent auto-parsing."
"The policies need to be improved."
"The deployment is complex."
"I would like to see an improved interface, with better documentation and integration with other products."
"DLP could be improved by implementing a cloud-based console."
"The solution relies on and Oracle database which is not financially feasible for many customers."
"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is buggy, which is one area for improvement. I also found Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention support horrible, so that's another area for improvement."
"Trend Micro could be priced better, currently, it's a bit high. And there needs to be better after the sale, technical support."
"The solution could use better logging in the future."
"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."
"There is a need for more predefined templates in the DLP tool."
"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."
"In Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention, there is a need to improve the plug-in manager, as it is an area with shortcomings."
"Most of the functions don't work in the way that they are supposed to."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The price is reasonable."
"The pricing depends on the usage, but the cheapest would be around 5,000 USD a month."
"In terms of licensing costs, we don't pay for licensing for Cloudflare. We only establish communication, then for peering, Cloudflare takes care of the cross-connection in different data centers."
"The solution has many features but there are ones that you need to pay for. Sometimes you have to find out which is available for free and which you have to pay for."
"I think the pricing is competitive. I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers."
"When you compare Cloudflare DNS to other solutions, such as Akamai, the price is reasonable."
"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"Support is a little costly, but you get what you pay for."
"If you are a small firm with less than 150 users, Symantec can be too pricey."

"I think that it's an expensive product, even as an enterprise-suite product."
"For pricing, I rate Symantec DLP an eight out of ten."
"The price is competitive."

"The platform is expensive. We purchase its yearly license."
"The licensing and pricing of Trend Micro are comparatively low and competitive since they are offered in a bundle, especially compared to Symantec, which was has a relatively high price."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"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."
"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."
