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.

Recommendations to others considering Symantec Data Loss Prevention:

In my opinion, Symantec Data Loss Prevention is the most trustable Data protection. It has complete data protection. All data is protected. after implementation, no data loss will occur. It provides data protection in the cloud, endpoint, storage, networks. So any malicious activity or intruder cant take our data .no virus or malware threats will happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Symantec Data Loss Prevention solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many of the employees were careless, .and they always unintentionally or did not upload data to the cloud. As a result of these activities, my company data always leaked. So we decided on complete protection and implemented Symantec Data loss protection. Now all data are safe. Because of symantec, DLP.it will apply for protection in all fields like cloud, endpoint, storage, network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
