User-friendly and helps control data well
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable aspect of Symantec DLP is its powerful policy system."
  • "There is room for improvement in the remote control capabilities of the DLP solution."

What is our primary use case?

Our customers mostly use it for data discovery, content monitoring, and policy enforcement.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable aspect of Symantec DLP is its powerful policy system. It helps us control data, like making sure nothing leaves our setup. The policy management console is user-friendly, and it offers a range of options to suit our specific requirements.

What needs improvement?

There is room for improvement in the remote control capabilities of the DLP solution. Currently, if the client-side agent is not installed, there are limited features available, and remote management through the manager portal is lacking. This is particularly important for users on VPN who would benefit from full remote control and management features.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Symantec Data Loss Prevention for a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

If we had the remote control feature, it would significantly improve the overall stability level of the solution. I would rate the stability as an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability of Symantec Data Loss Prevention as a seven out of ten. It could use some improvement. We have eight users of the solution at our company. This product is not designed for small or medium businesses; it is intended for enterprise-level use, particularly in sectors like banking, finance, and insurance. We currently serve about ten enterprise customers who utilize the DLP features of the product. We have a few hundred clients using the solution.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate the technical support as a nine out of ten. It is fantastic.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

Our deployment process begins by understanding the customer's requirements and ensuring they have the necessary server infrastructure in place. We then install our DLP product on the customer's site and set up data agents. The customer is responsible for installing the agent on their users' devices. We proceed by creating and applying data protection policies tailored to their specific data requirements. Many of our customers have a lot of sensitive data, so they worry about its safety even after we've applied the rules. I would rate the easiness of the initial setup as a seven out of ten. It is quite user-friendly. The deployment time for this product varies based on customer needs and availability. If everything goes smoothly, it typically takes around one and a half months to deploy all the necessary components, including agents and other requirements. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I am a technical person, so I don't have specific pricing details. However, I consider it to be in the average to moderately expensive range because it is tailored for enterprise use, not SMBs. Pricing can vary depending on specific needs and configurations.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to people who are considering implementing Symantec DLP is to request a demo to see how it works and experience its features. Subscribing to these features, applying policies, and learning about the advantages will help them make an informed decision about whether it meets their specific needs. Overall, I would rate it as an eight out of ten.

Helps to meet all regulatory requirements, is customizable, and flexible
Pros and Cons
  • "The detection capabilities are comprehensive."
  • "From a management perspective, it takes a lot of time to manage the infrastructure."

What is our primary use case?

Symantec Data Loss Prevention is an enterprise-level solution and we utilize it for its customization, and flexibility across the platform as well as the excellent support and feature levels compared to other similar solutions.

How has it helped my organization?

There is still potential for improvement when it comes to data discovery over a network. How successful the process is depends largely on the network configuration and connectivity to the destination. Utilizing a detection server or network discovery can help facilitate the data discovery process. Recently, I discovered around 15,000 to 20,000 shareholders for Symantec using DLP for data discovery. Agent Discovery is also highly effective, with no performance issues showing up when performing endpoint discovery for the Symantec database.

I have not had much experience working with Macs, but they come with an in-built security feature. This can be challenging to work with, as not all features are supported in comparison to Windows. However, the solution recently became compatible with the Linux operating system, allowing us to deploy agents on this system as well.

Symantec Data Loss Prevention is a globally accepted product that provides an enterprise-level view of an organization. Although some of the features the solution offers are being utilized, there is still more potential to be explored if the organization puts more focus on using them to their fullest potential. Recently, the ICD or ID features, which cover all increase points and every other technology, were introduced. The solution provides features that correlate all events and generate top results. In DLP, the role bit and success management are present, allowing us to escalate incidents. We can also define an escalation process, allowing data owners to view incidents and escalate them as necessary. This functionality is provided by the solution. The primary goal of the DLP is to monitor and control the organization's data usage, as well as to facilitate audibility and accountability. Symantec Data Loss Prevention is well-suited to fulfill these needs.

The solution helps us find sensitive data and apply policies based on user risk. We can use indexing for highly confidential documents that are not to be published or shared with more than two to five people outside of the organization, such as the board of directors. Indexed Document Matching is a useful feature that can help ensure that the document remains secure. We can create remote detection over the product and map the UNC part. The data owner will put the file of a particular document, which will be converted into IDX format. We can then apply the policy remotely so that the data will not come to the DLP admin or any other person and will remain protected.

The solution offers a range of pre-defined data identifiers to meet all regulatory requirements, such as those mandated by the GDPR, PHI, PCI, and USUN. These data identifiers can be used to identify and protect personal data globally.

The solution helped reduce the time our DLP administrator spends on data loss protection. Spending time monitoring the data is essential. We have to stay up to date and investigate any issues that arise in order to improve health monitoring by fine-tuning incidents and reducing false positives because automation is not available. 

What is most valuable?

The solution offers a one-click view from a single console, with detailed incident investigation capabilities that capture activity from end users, the web, and email. Symantec Data Loss Prevention provides comprehensive information conveniently and efficiently while also conforming to good architectural standards.

Compared to Forcepoint DLP, we can see that the email is not available. In Symantec, we are dependent on other products, such as DashMagiq, to release quarantined emails. This is because DashMagiq is able to do this through its API integration with the Office 365 email box. Unlike Forcepoint DLP, we don't have the option to release quarantined emails ourselves.

The detection capabilities are comprehensive. The solution covers all channels and supports cloud scanning. Additionally, the cloud-based solutions provided by CASB offer additional functionalities and now include AdvExt.

Symantec Data Loss Prevention has good detection accuracy. In some instances, the solution can produce a false positive. The solution's Application Monitoring feature allows us to monitor data that should be uploaded through an application; however, it can trigger an incident when the application is opened. The features provided by Broadcom are generally practical, but some of the less-used features may not be as accurate.

What needs improvement?

Before the release of version 16.0, some features were missing. Location-based detection and USB print blocking are still not available. This means we cannot configure the blocking of a USB printer, and we also cannot identify whether a system is on the network or off the network in a large environment. Additionally, the feature that is currently available is not fully operational. The domain-based resolution can sometimes take time to determine whether the system is accessible over the network or not.

From a management perspective, it takes a lot of time to manage the infrastructure. It seems that having cloud options available would reduce the overhead of managing infrastructure. Depending on the organization, we can choose to have the solution on-premises or on the cloud. If we choose the cloud, we can focus more on data loss prevention instead of managing the infrastructure.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for seven years.

How are customer service and support?

Both the free and paid technical support from Symantec are good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

What other advice do I have?

I give the solution a nine out of ten.

Has efficient data transmission blocking features, but its technical support services need improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "The product helps with blocking sensitive data transmission and permission management."
  • "The product's technical support services need improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We use the product to mitigate the malicious attack and prevent data loss for specific servers.

What is most valuable?

The product helps with blocking sensitive data transmission and permission management.

What needs improvement?

The product's technical support services need improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Symantec Data Loss Prevention for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable product. I rate its stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have 20 Symantec Data Loss Prevention users in our organization. We use it daily. I rate its scalability a seven out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support team replies slowly. The process needs enhancement.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup takes a few days. However, overall, it requires a month to fine-tune the components. The deployment team includes one or two vendor executives and multiple teams from our organization. One executive can easily maintain the product. I rate the process a seven out of ten.

What about the implementation team?

We take help from third-party integrators for product implementation.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The platform is not very expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend Symantec Data Loss Prevention and rate it a seven out of ten.

Great technical support, good features, and scales well
Pros and Cons
  • "We can integrate with some other tools such as Splunk, which is very useful."
  • "In the object capture recognition, which we implemented recently, there are a lot of false positives that have been happening."

What is our primary use case?

I am an L2 engineer. I'm doing the part of the implementation and the agent upgrades. If any requirements come in for Oracle upgrading we go forward and make it happen. Apart from that, we are doing agent installation and troubleshooting. 

Moreover, we'll be in contact with the SCCM team, and give packages to them. They will push the package to all the machines for the SCCM. We can connect to the virtual team and do the other lines for server backups or upgrades. 

What is most valuable?

The solution is very good at fingerprinting the documents. This means, basically if a user tries to modify the data or change the file extensions, the system will recognize this action. It will offer the DLP images, so it will fingerprint the data. If a user is trying to modify data, they're trying to change the extension to whatever data, it will tune in on the IP, based on the indexing. 

There are a lot of features. We can modify only particular agent configurations. 

A new feature I've seen is a device block, which is very interesting. Previously, we used to create a policy for blocking certain data, which was transferred from our local machine to the mobile media. Now, we found that there'll be one more option called agent configuration device control. Under the device control, there'll be a block device connections option. It will alert us that a USP has been blocked. 

The solution offers very good virtual machine learning. The ML will capture information based on certain policies. We haven't used it yet. We're still learning about it.

The solution offers good data classifications. What we used to do, is we used to create one template and we used to sit with different project team members. We'd collect the information from the project managers, on the management side. We'd put the information into one Excel sheet and collect the information from that. Now, we're using that to review one data classification tool. What it will do now is, whenever you're working in the document, is it will ask you to determine the data. It will ask that if it is internal or confidential.  

We can integrate with some other tools such as Splunk, which is very useful.

What needs improvement?

The problem is most companies use a single data protector. The drawback is that they will install Oracle in one server and the application also in one server and detection also, all in one server. If the server crashes, everything crashes. Things should be implemented on another server. 

Previously, when we had Dropbox, if we transferred a document, we would get a popup, and if we transferred 500 documents, we would get 500 popups. We're looking to find out if there is a way around this.

If we get a fatal error issue, if the agent isn't working out, we need a hard fix file. We need to check in pre-production machines. 

When we're doing data scanning, the machines can be slow. 

In the object capture recognition, which we implemented recently, there are a lot of false positives that have been happening. We are expecting them to fix this issue soon.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for four and a half years at this point.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Occasionally, there are stability issues. If that's the case, I can help clients troubleshoot them.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very easy to scale. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so with relative ease.

How are customer service and technical support?

Whenever any issues are reported, for example, a fatal error or multiple errors, or if any machines come up with a blue screen, et cetera, well look for patch releases. We tend to do that monthly and push them to machines.  However, sometimes the issues might be very bad. For example, sometimes the KB will be not compatible with the Symantec DLP, or some of the versions. Maybe an agent will be corrupted, or a machine will get rebooted multiple times.

Initially, we'll check the logs. We'll do the checking and the troubleshooting and the removal of agents if necessary. We initially collect requirement logs and upload them to the Symantec portal. From those details, they will create a hard fix file for us and we will implement it. 

We work well together. We're quite satisfied with the level of service they provide and the assistance they give when we have issues. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

Usually, if we are doing it from the scratch, every time when we are doing the implementation, there will be one document that will be created for other servers. 

If new users come on, they'll reference the document. It's part of our best practices. 

We recommend that someone should be available via stacking, somewhere. For example, to set up the password with the protector, or as an admin password. We used to prefer at least one person. If we get stuck, we'll have a Symantec engineer on a call to assist us. 

Usually, I'll do everything from the scratch, setting up the port under whatever LAN is required and what other system requires. 

For an Oracle installation, it will take three hours or four hours. And for the server that's at least one hour. A total of five hours to six hours is required in order to complete our implementation.

The maintenance is contract-based. Some of the clients will ask that only I implement the Symantec DLP. Then we'll do the implementation and we'll create some documents as per requirements. Clients will ask the contract be for one year or two years, and we'll do the analysis and the reports, which we need to send on a daily basis and weekly basis and monthly basis and quarterly basis. On yearly ones, we'll do the auditing. 

We used to delete the duplicate machines, or any machines supposed to be in stock or offline. Every month we will send the policy to our customers asking if there is anything they want to add, or any rule they want to delete, or anything specifically they want to create, et cetera. For example, if there are any personal kinds of users they want to monitor. We'll whatever they recommend. This is the type of maintenance I do.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is moderate. It's not the cheapest, or the most expensive. 

There are various types of licenses. For example, if you are a customer for endpoint prevention, that is a different license. And if you want to cloud prevent, that is a different license. It's flexible. If you need to purchase a full suite, you can purchase it, or if you want only endpoint or cloud or network, you can buy it as a separate command.

What other advice do I have?

We are implementors. 

As of now, in my current company, I was designed to DLP around seven months back. My previous company is a service-based company. Normally we will connect with other partners. 

Usually, we are service providers, so we'll take the project from Symantec and we will implement the approach for our business partners. Then we'll go directly to the onset location and we'll stay there and we'll do the implementation and we'll create a policy, as per the requirements. We'll do the handout documents to the management team, and we'll relocate them to the local engineers. These kinds of activities I've done. For around four years, I've continuously been doing this DLP and encryption.

I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it at a ten out of ten.

A solution with superb capabilities and administrative controls but its reliance on Oracle is limiting
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is simple to use with good administrative controls and a console that is easy to understand."
  • "The solution relies on and Oracle database which is not financially feasible for many customers."

What is our primary use case?

Our company is a partner and deploys the solution for customers as a management server and email network.

What is most valuable?

The solution is simple to use with good administrative controls and a console that is easy to understand. This is particularly important because end users are security engineers, CSOs and compliance managers with minimal technical knowledge. 

The DLP is very effective on the application side because there is a control on both endpoint and network storage. These components are separate from each other which needs to be planned out carefully but reduces server needs. 

What needs improvement?

The solution should integrate with other databases because it relies on Oracle which is not financially feasible for many customers, particularly in small or poor countries. Oracle is very expensive on the cloud side. 

Operational costs are too high for small offices that rely on Microsoft Office, so they instead opt for free yet powerful databases such as MySQL. 

Data tagging and classification would be useful because multiple agent roles are needed solve issues. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for ten years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The network and storage are very stable. 

I've experienced a few issues with the DLP agent on the windows side when operating systems are mismatched or there is an issue with a group policy. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

The effectiveness of technical supports depends on the agent. Support from America is good because they immediately direct you to a person or department knowledgeable in your issue. 

For example, American support asks if deployments are new or old and then opens the appropriate case type which speeds up the process. 

I rate customer support a seven out of ten. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup and implementation are very straightforward. 

Setup is very clear and much easier than McAfee or Forcepoint. 

I rate setup an eight out of ten. 

What about the implementation team?

We implement the solution for our customers. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution's pricing is based on a license model. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The DLP category is very competitive and we implement tools based on our client's needs such as the solution, Forcepoint, and Microsoft. 

What other advice do I have?

Competitive products don't even compare to the solution with regard to its capabilities. 

The only reason to choose another solution is budget because the solution requires licenses for the product and the database. 

I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

A stable and scalable tool that detects users accessing information from confidential documents
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a scalable solution...The solution's technical support was good."
  • "Symantec Data Loss Prevention's AI technology has certain shortcomings where improvements can be made."

What is our primary use case?

I use Symantec Data Loss Prevention since it is a product that is currently involved in an API-level integration with Google Chrome while ensuring that users get to avail some advanced features in the current version of the solution, making it an overall good tool.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of the solution is its OCR process for image recognition. Symantec Data Loss Prevention can extract all the data from the image. In scenarios where a user may be trying to get some screenshots of certain confidential documents, Symantec Data Loss Prevention will extract whatever data is included in that image, after which it may block the user who was involved in the act.

What needs improvement?

Symantec Data Loss Prevention's AI technology has certain shortcomings where improvements can be made. Some source code developer companies may have multiple source code data available, and our company may upload such multiple source code data, which may go up to 50 GB of data in Symantec Data Loss Prevention, and expect the AI part to look into what should be the confidential part in such a file so that we can create a policy in our company to manage what should be blocked or allowed.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Symantec Data Loss Prevention for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. With Symantec Data Loss Prevention, I have never experienced any downtime.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support was good. The technical support team of Symantec used to take up cases or issues on priority.

How was the initial setup?

For Symantec Data Loss Prevention, my company needs to deploy a database from Oracle and add a detection server depending on the organization's needs. A company can proceed with either a two-tier deployment or a three-tier deployment. A database from Symantec needs to be included during the deployment process compulsorily.

The solution can be deployed in a day or two. Preparing the database takes one day, and adding Symantec's detection server takes around 30 to 60 minutes.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Right now, my company seems to be interested in Censornet's DLP product features.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it since it offers all the good features, along with a good GUI and user experience.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Great data matching capabilities, stable with file integration features
Pros and Cons
  • "An excellent solution for data classification."
  • "Different departments should manage administration, reporting, normalization and incident management."

What is our primary use case?

We use this solution for exact and index data matching, vector machine learning and endpoint prevention. We can use USB, make the solution notify a block policy and make response rules. It allows us to add the directory indication, make the agent configuration from the DLP, and then enforce them.

We can also complete different types of single-tier, two-tier and three-tier installations. For single-tier installation, it can enforce or recommend detections servers on the same servers. For two-tier, it can enforce on the same server and the detection server. And for three-tier, Oracle enforced, and the detection server is on separate servers.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are file integration and optical character recognition. It is a new technology integrated in DLP. File recognition technology mainly uses DLP, and we can use encryption technology to integrate the endpoint detection servers. The solution also helps to integrate the cloud access service broker in the DLP console, and we can complete information-centric tagging. For example, we can tag the files as private or public and protect them on the DLP console. In addition, we can classify data according to the environments and handle the files per the policy created from the console.

What needs improvement?

Different departments should manage administration, reporting, normalization and incident management. For example, for incident management, escalation can be completed in a specific department, and we can notify a manager and send an email when an incident has been triggered. In addition, confidential files that shouldn't be sent as a CV are managed. A DLP is a confidential solution that cannot be used to send unauthorized organizations' data to others.

The previous versions had a flaw when we installed the agents. We can install the agents manually or by the SCCM and easily manage the database and incident services. We can make several rules if we have a network or endpoint. We can also manage dashboards and administrators, super users and view roles. The larger administrator that manages the activities and daily reports has access to the best access tools. We can utilize user roles for the view access tools and to make policies.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for ten years and are using version 15.8. It is deployed on-premises, and the cloud is used for network payment for email.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is very scalable, and there are no issues with maintenance.

How are customer service and support?

We can easily manage technical support unless we need clarification on a version of data or a task for principal clarification. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. First, we had to install the Oracle database, which requires 19C if you use version 15.8. Then, we had to deploy and make the info server. After that, we had to complete the Oracle and listener configurations and connect the database. We then had to install the Windows Server and add the detection servers from the endpoint server.

During the installation, we imported different templates in .VSP format. The solution allows you to make policies and procedures with built-in templates, and there are templates for multiple sectors, such as energy, banking, financial, and telecommunication. It can be downloaded from the portal during the installation of the Oracle added to the enforce server. We can make different policies like data matching, index data matching, vector machine learning, and desktop content matching. For example, we can use proximity matching to detect data for 70% matches, 50% matches, or 20% matches. We can also upload different documents for index data matching. Exact data matching is for structured data, and index data matching is for unstructured data. Vector machine learning is for positive and negative threats, and the threshold is set for that purpose. I rate the deployment a ten out of ten.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There is a perpetual license for three, five and two years. There is also a one-year renewable license for different parts. In addition, there are licenses for different consoles, namely Endpoint Discover, Endpoint Prevent, and Network Prevent. So it is an easy tool per the budget firewall and not difficult at all.

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. Regarding advice, it is the best solution and has the best reputation. It is easy to manage and an excellent solution for data classification. It is the best solution I have ever used. We prefer Symantec to other solutions because their products are not difficult to integrate with a single console that is easy to manage.
