The product is flexible. It takes care of our cloud infrastructure. The tool meets our needs. The normal compliance policies work well. The behavior analysis features give us insight into what is going on in the network. The tool has been pretty effective in monitoring the files that are being moved. The network integration has been fine.

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.
