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.

"Technical support is very professional and responsive."

"The synchronize application detection policies have been very good."
"The tool's really working well, and the agents are good."
"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."
"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."
"Trellix DLP helps handle false positives, but it depends on your configuration. It is quite overwhelming in terms of its dashboard."
"Trellix DLP has an agent that continuously scans the endpoint and sends the data to the portal. From there, it continuously leverages data from its threat intelligence."

Cons

"Trellix needs to improve customer support."
"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."
"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."
"It's not very user-friendly for a beginner, so it would be easier if the platform or console were manageable or user-friendly. The dashboard could be simplified."

"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."
"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."
