Symantec Data Loss Prevention Reviews & Product Details

I like that Symantec Data Loss Prevention is easy to use, not problematic, and always runs as expected, with a stable performance. The agents are very stable and effortless, and since we deployed them to all our endpoint devices, there have been no errors. Additionally, I appreciate the good policy structure where we can combine all rules and conditions. The initial setup was very easy, including deploying management servers, detection servers, and endpoint agents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it should be more effective on network traffic on endpoint devices and also it should monitor all AI softwares such as Cursor, Gemini, and ChatGPT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Powerful software used to prevent data loss in-house. It is used to prevent data loss that may occur within the company via e-mail, web or any endpoint channel. One of the leading DLP products.

Most likely, I would say all the products from Symantec are the best in the world. In Symantec, Data loss protection was the most attractive protection I felt in the cloud. Symantec will support all types of data protection, which has many products in Data loss protection. For example, endpoint protection, storage protection, network protection, and cloud protection. Symantec uses separate servers for each product, so we get complete protection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its coast. The product was top class. In my view, I can't afford the price, .but we can use a separate license for each product, so if we need only one product like the cloud, we should purchase only that one .that means if we use only one product like cloud, its price is affordable. Still, in the case of complete protection, it's not inexpensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Symantec data loss prevention. It will provide total security for our organization's sensitive data. It will provide protection or security in Endpoint, cloud, storage, and to the networks then we can easily prevent our data loss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
