Enables organizations to monitor the network and protect themselves from data leakage
The initial setup process is very simple and easy. We have no issues to do it for ourselves or our customers. The deployment takes less than 20 days. The integration is very simple. However, first, we must understand what we want to have on our network and what we want to prevent. If we don't have this information before we start the configuration, we will be lost. We must know what kind of protection we need in our company. We have LGPD in Brazil. It is similar to GDPR in Europe. It prevents any personal information from being linked to other companies without permission. We have to take care of the personal information of our customers, employees, and partners. To deploy the tool, we must understand what we need to do. We must download the whole package and have our infrastructure ready to receive it. We must get the SSL certification and start to configure our platform. When the process is finished, we must roll out a small portion of our network to ensure everything will be well. After that, we must do the full rollout.

Has strengthened data protection across departments and supported continuous monitoring
In future updates of Symantec Data Loss Prevention, I would like to see improvements based on the many attacks happening around the world. They can improve their product and the features mainly to focus on how we can prevent that data within the organization, over the cloud, whatever it is, as that is important.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"All features in GTB are very valuable and effective."
"They have a fingerprint feature that is very awesome. OCR is very awesome to have too."
"The monitoring features are valuable."
"The main thing that I like about GTB is that it has a single agent for DLP and data classification. You can use the same agent. In terms of licensing too, it has a single license. When it comes to data classification, it supports open-source document platforms such as ChainSoft and OpenOffice."
"This solution has improved our organization, primarily in helping to develop my business processes, and for confidential government information."
"The classifications in place are very helpful in making policies for ensuring sensitive data can be contained."
"I am impressed with the tool's ease of deployment."
"The most valuable feature is we can develop what we want. If we have an old or new requirement, they are able to support us to develop it all within one month."
"The solution is very good at fingerprinting the documents."
"There's only one policy needed to implement for all channels."
"One of the very few DLP tools with machine learning capabilities that easily classifies various documents and takes care of many administrative chores."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention is completely designed for the enterprise area because it enables great segmentation."
"The incident response options and reporting features are particularly strong, with the inclusion of Incident Classification Assessment (ICA) for integrated reporting."
"The incident response capability has been instrumental in mitigating potential data loss."
"The dashboard, management section, and reporting are good."
"Initially, when we checked out quite a few products, like Trend Micro, we found this product to be the most user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The product needs to improve its support so that users can just log in and create tickets as opposed to sending emails. Sending emails is difficult to track. It also needs to work on its analytics platform."
"The tool should include better AI features."
"To stay competitive, they should expand to smartphones."
"The solution could improve by providing additional availability requirements."
"It would be great if they have information rights management (IRM) on the same agent."
"They have a roadmap for the Linux platform and Mac as well, and in the next quarter, they might have patch management also for Windows. However, they don't have that much for Linux and Mac. So, we need those things in Linux and Mac as well."
"The performance could be better."
"The solution’s performance must be improved."
"Once you deploy any security tool, of course, you are not 100% confident. As we say, the zero trust model applies."
"Where things could be improved is that product engineering takes time to respond when we make a request. They get on a call for troubleshooting, but fixing the issue takes time."
"That fine tuning has to be done for the customer as well as the vendor. So if I take Symantec DLP, we have to have some final fine tuning but we may need some time developing this depending on the customer. This is an area where something can be done to improve the product."
"Reporting could be improved."
"DLP could be improved by implementing a cloud-based console."
"We want a more proactive reporting structure."
"There should be more documentation with Symantec Data Loss Prevention. We had trouble with the first few deployments."
"It's not a scalable product. It only works on the Windows platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool has a fair price."
"They offer a lot of features in a single bundle. So, if you want to remove some features from GTB, you can remove those. You don't need to buy those, and the price will reduce accordingly. I am very happy with the pricing."
"The tool is not expensive."
"The tool's pricing is affordable and based on the number of endpoints."
"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."
"Its price is very reasonable and competitive."
"I think that it's an expensive product, even as an enterprise-suite product."
"The solution should be less expensive to allow more people the opportunity to use it. Some of their competitors are less expensive. There is a license required to use the solution and we purchased an annual license."
"From what I know the pricing is good, it's not too expensive. If you negotiate you can get a good price."
"The pricing and licensing are based on per user endpoints."
"In terms of pricing, Symantec DLP works with Oracle Database. Oracle Database licensing is much more expensive than other databases. That might be a drawback for customers. The pricing is on a yearly subscription basis."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We are happy with the pricing and licencing."
