Marcelo Grandchamp - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables organizations to monitor the network and protect themselves from data leakage
The initial setup process is very simple and easy. We have no issues to do it for ourselves or our customers. The deployment takes less than 20 days. The integration is very simple. However, first, we must understand what we want to have on our network and what we want to prevent. If we don't have this information before we start the configuration, we will be lost. We must know what kind of protection we need in our company. We have LGPD in Brazil. It is similar to GDPR in Europe. It prevents any personal information from being linked to other companies without permission. We have to take care of the personal information of our customers, employees, and partners. To deploy the tool, we must understand what we need to do. We must download the whole package and have our infrastructure ready to receive it. We must get the SSL certification and start to configure our platform. When the process is finished, we must roll out a small portion of our network to ensure everything will be well. After that, we must do the full rollout.

Highly effective in safeguarding sensitive data in cloud storage
I would rate setting up Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) 7 out of 10. It can be challenging initially, especially for newcomers to the Symantec solution. It typically takes three to four implementation attempts to become comfortable with the setup process. Following the prescribed steps is crucial, as it leads to a smoother experience and better understanding of the setup requirements.The deployment process for Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is relatively short and can vary depending on specific requirements. If implementing only the core features, it typically takes about two days. However, if additional components like the endpoint and network channels are included, it may extend to three to four days.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am impressed with the tool's ease of deployment."
"The classifications in place are very helpful in making policies for ensuring sensitive data can be contained."
"The monitoring features are valuable."
"This solution helps classify what is confidential and what is not, allowing products to be installed at home if they do not contain confidential information."
"The main thing that I like about GTB is that it has a single agent for DLP and data classification. You can use the same agent. In terms of licensing too, it has a single license. When it comes to data classification, it supports open-source document platforms such as ChainSoft and OpenOffice."
"They have a fingerprint feature that is very awesome. OCR is very awesome to have too."
"The product has a centralized console for everything."
"The most valuable feature is we can develop what we want. If we have an old or new requirement, they are able to support us to develop it all within one month."
"The incident response capability has been instrumental in mitigating potential data loss."
"The most valuable feature is file-level DLP."
"Users like the product because of its simplicity and the rate of detection."
"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."
"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 most valuable aspect of Symantec DLP is its powerful policy system."
"An excellent solution for data classification."
"The detection capabilities are comprehensive."
 

Cons

"The performance could be better."
"The solution’s performance must be improved."
"It would be great if they have information rights management (IRM) on the same agent."
"The solution could improve by providing additional availability requirements."
"To stay competitive, they should expand to smartphones."
"They have a roadmap for the Linux platform and Mac as well, and in the next quarter, they might have patch management also for Windows. However, they don't have that much for Linux and Mac. So, we need those things in Linux and Mac as well."
"The product needs to improve its support so that users can just log in and create tickets as opposed to sending emails. Sending emails is difficult to track. It also needs to work on its analytics platform."
"The tool should include better AI features."
"Their support program needs a lot of improvement. If you are stuck somewhere, getting their support can be difficult."
"In my opinion, Symantec DLP could improve by offering a better online service option, making it more competitive compared to Forcepoint. Performance could also be enhanced, especially in terms of prevention capabilities. Additionally, it would be beneficial to add features that allow for better policy integration with GDPR, such as international credit, bank account, or identity management. This would make it more straightforward for IT, especially in regions like Indonesia."
"Data Masking could be improved."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's setup needs to be easier and support needs to be improved."
"There should be more documentation with Symantec Data Loss Prevention. We had trouble with the first few deployments."
"Reporting could be improved."
"That fine tuning has to be done for the customer as well as the vendor. So if I take Symantec DLP, we have to have some final fine tuning but we may need some time developing this depending on the customer. This is an area where something can be done to improve the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They offer a lot of features in a single bundle. So, if you want to remove some features from GTB, you can remove those. You don't need to buy those, and the price will reduce accordingly. I am very happy with the pricing."
"The tool is not expensive."
"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."
"Its price is very reasonable and competitive."
"The tool's pricing is affordable and based on the number of endpoints."
"The tool has a fair price."
"I think it is an expensive tool."
"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."
"The price of Symantec Data Loss Prevention could be reduced."
"We are happy with the pricing and licencing."
"The product charges a little on the higher side."
"The solution should be less expensive to allow more people the opportunity to use it. Some of their competitors are less expensive. There is a license required to use the solution and we purchased an annual license."
"I think that it's an expensive product, even as an enterprise-suite product."
"Pricing is reasonable."
