Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 3, 2024

Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Safetica ONE compete in the data protection market. Symantec DLP seems to have the upper hand with its advanced document fingerprinting and machine learning capabilities, although Safetica ONE excels in ease of use and pricing.

Features: Symantec Data Loss Prevention offers advanced document fingerprinting, exact data matching, and machine learning capabilities that reduce false positives. It provides robust endpoint protection and excels in network components, effectively discovering and securing data across an organization. Safetica ONE offers comprehensive data leak prevention, is user-friendly, and rightly focuses on compliance, making it a cost-effective choice for enterprises.

Room for Improvement: Symantec DLP struggles with complexity and Oracle dependency, making installation and scalability challenging. Its machine learning algorithms need stability and customer support has weakened post-Broadcom acquisition. Safetica ONE requires feature depth enhancement and Linux compatibility, limiting its appeal to larger enterprises. Users look for faster technical support and better firewall integrations.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Symantec DLP supports extensive on-premise and hybrid cloud deployment, whereas Safetica ONE is flexible with public cloud and hybrid setups. Symantec's support quality has reportedly declined, affecting responsiveness; meanwhile, Safetica ONE benefits from local vendor support, though speed and integration remain concerns.

Pricing and ROI: Symantec DLP's pricing is considered high due to Oracle overheads, making it less attractive for small businesses despite recognized ROI in saving time and costs. Safetica ONE provides a budget-friendly alternative with simpler licensing models, appealing to price-sensitive users while still offering solid data protection value.

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.

Experienced implementation enhances security with robust detection and centralized management

A significant case highlighted an improvement need when a banking company lost 500 customer information pieces through screenshots. The data theft occurred through individual screenshots of credit note pages rather than taking complete PDF files. This incident led to the suggestion for implementing image detection methods, as Data Loss Prevention solutions needed to analyze image details. Symantec responded by creating an OCR module, enabling the capability to search within images. The pricing structure remains an area for improvement. We lost a POC despite installing 2,000 endpoints because Symantec Data Loss Prevention is more expensive compared to other solutions. Although the competing product couldn't match all the best practices, the price difference influenced the final decision.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."

"The blocking feature is very good."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"Cloudflare is by far the most effective solution that I have come across."

"It is a stable solution."

More Cloudflare One pros

"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."

"The current version of the solution is stable...It is easy to scale the solution."

"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."

"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."

"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."

"The most valuable feature is the data classification."

"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."

"Safetica ONE is easy to use and set up. We can set up rules and policies quickly."

"The most valuable aspect of Symantec DLP is its broad coverage. Symantec DLP covers USB, Outlook email clients, and web traffic. If we install the endpoint DLP, we can cover multiple channels, including the clipboard and printer."

"The synchronize application detection policies have been very good."

"I like how I have the possibility to check different channels with the same policy set."

"The dashboard, management section, and reporting are good."

"I have never experienced any stability issues during the eight years of using the solution."

"Technical support is very professional and responsive."

"There's only one policy needed to implement for all channels."

"With respect to the amount of intelligence that they have with respect to how they formed the DLP solution, for example, exact data matching. If you compare Forcepoint with Symantec, Symantec is more sophisticated than Forcepoint."

Cons

"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."

"There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved."

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

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

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."

"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."

More Cloudflare One cons

"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."

"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."

"This solution could be improved if it was available on Linux as well. Currently it can only be deployed on Mac and Windows."

"Safetica One has every other thing that you need, so I cannot give Safetica NXT a higher mark because it does not have the full features of the enterprise solutions."

"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."

"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."

"The product needs to improve support."

"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."

"We want a more proactive reporting structure."

"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's AI technology has certain shortcomings where improvements can be made."

"Symantec could improve by being more creative and simplifying the functions. Additionally, the data protection should be bundled with data classification and labeling instead of them being separate."

"In my opinion, Symantec DLP could improve by offering a better online service option, making it more competitive compared to Forcepoint. Performance could also be enhanced, especially in terms of prevention capabilities. Additionally, it would be beneficial to add features that allow for better policy integration with GDPR, such as international credit, bank account, or identity management. This would make it more straightforward for IT, especially in regions like Indonesia."

"What could be improved in Symantec Data Loss Prevention is its security. It should be more secure."

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

"The policies need to be improved."

"We lost a POC despite installing 2,000 endpoints because Symantec Data Loss Prevention is more expensive compared to other solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

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

"Safetica ONE is expensive."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"Support is a little costly, but you get what you pay for."

"For pricing, I rate Symantec DLP an eight out of ten."

"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 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."

Safetica

Keeping sensitive corporate information safe and compliant has never been easy. But today, you’re faced with a totally new set of data protection challenges. Sensitive information is leaving the safety of your corporate network as more employees share files over consumer cloud storage services and access those files on their own mobile devices. The number of targeted cyber attacks continues to grow, as cybercriminals develop effective new methods for defeating traditional security measures and stealing corporate information. And as all of these factors converge, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage corporate information and protect it against loss and theft.

Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) provides a comprehensive approach to information protection that embraces today’s cloud- and mobile-centered realities. With DLP, you can:

• Discover where data is stored across all of your cloud, mobile, network, endpoint, and storage systems

• Monitor how data is being used, whether your employees are on or off the network

• Protect data from being leaked or stolen—no matter where it’s stored or how it’s used
