The product is frequently criticized for its complicated and time-consuming deployment and management process. Additionally, it tends to generate a high number of false positives, which means it requires considerable tuning to function effectively.

"Symantec Data Loss is one of the pioneers of the industry"
What do you like best about Symantec Data Loss Prevention?

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. In addition, with ICAP integration, it can be integrated into existing products such as proxy, sharefile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no downside that I don't like. This can be seen when researching corporate companies that already use the symantec Data Loss Prevention product in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A complete solution for Data protection"
What do you like best about Symantec Data Loss Prevention?

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.

What do you dislike about Symantec Data Loss Prevention?

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.

"Symantec "Data Loss Prevention", truely stands on every word of it."
What do you like best about Symantec Data Loss Prevention?

The suite can be deployed on-premises, in a hybrid cloud, and through a managed service.

Symantec DLP does the best job when we compare it with its competitors like McAfee, Proofpoint, Zscaler, and Dell.

Symantec is adequate for Insider Threats as well as External Threats.

Symantec DLP provides :

1) The broadest data protection for communication channels: cloud, email, web, endpoints, and storage.

2) A single console for policy management, incident response, reporting, and administration.

3) One set of policies and workflow for all communication channels: cloud, email, web, endpoints, and storage.

4) Protects data in motion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec Data Loss Prevention?

1) High amount of False positives

2) We have seen that Symantec DLP does not integrate well with Symantec Tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A darn good product with great potential!!"
What do you like best about Symantec Data Loss Prevention?

I like how quick discover scans are. The integrations with Proxy is also quite neat. There are a lot of pros to this product, and as the product grows it continues to get better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symantec Data Loss Prevention?

There isn't much to dislike. If i had to pick something it would be the custom Data Identifiers, if you are scripting you need to learn Symantec DLP's scripting language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
