Prominent pros & cons

PROS

Trellix DLP offers prebuilt templates for data classification, making it easier for customers to get started.
It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways.
Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises, making it easy to scale there.
Trellix DLP includes an agent that continuously scans the endpoint and sends data to the portal, leveraging threat intelligence.
Trellix's technical support deserves a perfect rating, providing excellent support from both the vendor and Trellix.

CONS

Trellix DLP needs improvement in customer support, with concerns about response time during the night.
Compatibility issues exist as Trellix DLP is incompatible with Linux and Mac, sometimes not functioning on Windows either.
Technical support is lacking, with long ticket resolution times and repetitive requests for logs by new engineers.
There is a need for enhanced features like deep drive DLP and email notifications.
Coverage for Mac OS is inadequate, as features such as clipboard and print protection don't function as expected, and agents negatively impact endpoint performance.

The most effective aspect of Trellix DLP is that it does what it's supposed to do. It is fairly simple to use compared to Proofpoint.

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.
