Which solution do you prefer: Symantec DLP, Proofpoint DLP, or Microsoft Purview DLP?

Data loss prevention (DLP) is an important security technology that can help organizations protect their data from unauthorized access, misuse, and data loss. DLP solutions are designed to detect data breaches and alert companies about the possible security risks associated with data storage. They can be used to block data transfers or restrict access to data stored in cloud-based data stores. In addition, DLP solutions can be used to monitor data usage and detect malicious behavior such as data theft or data leakage. By implementing data loss prevention technology, companies can protect their data from external threats and unauthorized access. When it comes to Email Cloud Security, Symantec DLP, Proofpoint DLP, and Microsoft Purview DLP are all strong contenders. But which solution is the right one for you? Well, that depends on your specific needs. If you prioritize ease of use and scalability in your Email Cloud Security solutions, then Symantec DLP is the right choice. If, on the other hand, you value data privacy and protection then Proofpoint DLP is a better option. Finally, Microsoft Purview DLP stands out for its comprehensive analytics tools that give users greater insight into their Email Cloud Security performance. So which Email Cloud Security solution do you pick? Choose wisely! It could make all the difference.

Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Integrated controls have reduced insider risk and now protect sensitive data across our workforce

One standout feature about Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is the tight integration with Insider Risk Management and Defender XDR, as it gives much better context during investigations instead of treating DLP as an isolated alerting tool. We also use endpoint DLP heavily to control USB, copy, print, clipboard, and browser upload activity, which has been very effective for remote workforce security. The best features Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention offers include real-time policy enforcement, endpoint DLP, and deep integration with Microsoft 365 plus Defender XDR. We also heavily rely on sensitive information type detection, adaptive policy tips, and insider risk integration to investigate suspicious user behavior with proper context. Another standout feature is the ability to control USB copy, browser uploads, print clipboards, and cloud sharing actions directly from endpoint policies. The integration with Microsoft Defender 365 and Defender XDR helps our team in day-to-day operations because DLP alerts are automatically correlated with endpoint identity, email, and user activity telemetry, which helps the SOC investigate incidents much faster from a single workflow. The sensitive information type detection makes a difference compared to other tools we have used because it is more effective than many legacy DLP tools. It understands context, exact data patterns, document labeling, and Microsoft 365 native content, reducing false positives while improving detection accuracy. Another strong feature of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is auto-labeling and policy inheritance with Microsoft's Information Protection, which helps maintain protection even after files are shared or moved across workloads. We also value the user coaching or policy tip capability because it educates users in real time instead of only blocking actions, which reduces repeated DLP violations significantly.

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

"Cloudflare Access is a stable solution."

"Using Cloudflare One makes my work quite easy because for DDoS protection, all I need to do is understand the OSI model and click; it makes it easier than trying to write a command line or use a Linux command."

"The best feature is rate limiting. If I'm expecting 500 visits per hour, Cloudflare will limit the requests if I suddenly get 50,000."

"I'm very satisfied with the environment and the dashboard."

"It is a stable solution."

"It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it."

"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."

"Enables me to work from two locations."

More Cloudflare One pros

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention prevents users from sharing sensitive information outside the organization based on the configurations that we've implemented."

"The policy customization feature is very useful, and we have successfully used the auto policy configuration."

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention has significantly improved our data security posture by reducing the risk of accidental data leaks and helping to meet compliance requirements."

"It has helped our clients to reduce the time to action on insider threats because it can be integrated."

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention has impacted the organization very positively by strengthening data security through automatically detecting and protecting sensitive information across emails, endpoints, SharePoint, and OneDrive."

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention makes it way easier to prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive information within the organization."

"The auto-labeling feature is definitely the most valuable feature, as it goes in and labels the documents for you in different repositories, covering the Outlook and Exchange repositories along with SharePoint and OneDrive, which is really helpful in those areas."

"If we can prevent information from going out, eventually, when a regulator is asking about our security measures, we can show what we've been doing."

More Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention pros

"This is a good solution for us and I would recommend it."

"Overall, it is an excellent product."

"Users like the product because of its simplicity and the rate of detection."

"The most valuable feature is the end point encryption and the solution provides good data loss prevention."

"One of the most valuable aspects of this solution is its integration capabilities with Office 365."

"We can integrate with some other tools such as Splunk, which is very useful."

"Symantec Data Loss Prevention has proprietary metadata and is well-suited for endpoint-level security."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is endpoint security."

More Symantec Data Loss Prevention pros

Cons

"When there are any dynamic changes in complex applications, the tool takes a lot of time, making its analytics-related area a major matter of concern where improvements are needed."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

"The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."

"I would like them to include a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"They don't have a person to provide support for customers using the solution under their free plan."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."

"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."

"Cloudflare One is not very powerful, but for what we require, it is basic and sufficient."

More Cloudflare One cons

"Technical support is awful."

"I would assess the stability and reliability of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention as being flaky at times, where eDiscovery sometimes takes forever or doesn't bring the results we expect."

"The amount of false positives and the hash issue we had have brought down the score for me."

"I would say the improvement of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention could be in the propagation of policies, as if you create a policy, it may take up to 48 hours to propagate to devices, and this might take a little bit longer than ideal."

"They do not provide language options beyond the ones already available, so our language option is missing."

"The AI advancements can improve the false positives."

"A site can have different containers where you store data. We have always wanted to apply compliance, labels, and policies at the container level, rather than to an outer shell or at the site level. That is something we have been looking forward to and I believe Microsoft is already planning something like that."

"The main disadvantages of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention in comparison to the Netscope product are notable considerations."

More Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention cons

"The Symantec DLP solution is very complex, and installation requires many components."

"I would like to see changes to the analytics."

"The console is not the best one. There is room for improvement in the management console."

"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."

"The policies need to be improved."

"The product must improve its interface."

"Since being acquired by Broadcom, the support has really degraded for small and medium enterprises. They don't help with anything and just send emails when we ask them to come on call."

"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's setup needs to be easier and support needs to be improved."

More Symantec Data Loss Prevention cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."

"The solution is not that expensive."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"The product has the best price-to-performance ratio."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as one out of ten."

"We are using the E3 license for Microsoft 365 with the E5 compliance license add-on."

"Though I am not a specialist, the tool is quite expensive."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"I am satisfied with the tool's pricing."

"It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."

More Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The product charges a little on the higher side."

"From what I know the pricing is good, it's not too expensive. If you negotiate you can get a good price."

"The price is competitive."

"The price of Symantec DLP is fair. I don't recall the cost of the license, but it wasn't outrageous enough that it was an obstacle to approval. I'm not concerned with how much per seat or server, but I know they charge a lot."
