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.

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

"The blocking feature is very good."

"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."

"Enables me to work from two locations."

"The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks."

"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 will take the blow rather than our applications should an attack occur."

"Cloudflare DDoS mitigates DDoS attacks."

More Cloudflare One pros

"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."

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

"Safetica NXT provides you with an enterprise-quality data loss prevention system that anybody can pick up because the cost is low and it's easy to manage."

"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."

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

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

More Safetica ONE pros

"The product is very robust."

"An excellent solution for data classification."

"The accuracy in terms of the rate of detection is good."

"What we like about Symantec Data Loss Prevention is that it's a very good product. We never faced any problems with its performance. It has very good performance. There was this RAM issue, but it was an internal issue which we've sorted out. Apart from the RAM issue, there are no other issues with Symantec Data Loss Prevention."

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

"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's ability to adapt to evolving security landscapes is always helpful."

"The detection capabilities are comprehensive."

"Overall, it is an excellent product."

More Symantec Data Loss Prevention pros

Cons

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."

"Feedback could be enhanced. While I work efficiently with Clover as a partner in Mexico City, sometimes the information and requests are easier to manage with more concrete solutions."

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."

"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."

"Feedback could be enhanced."

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

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

"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."

More Cloudflare One cons

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

"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."

"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."

"The product needs to improve support."

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

"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."

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

"Reporting could be improved."

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

"Sometimes setting up the solution can get a little tricky because it would depend on your internal infrastructure. For example, you have to connect the Symantec Data Loss Prevention platform and you need to integrate it, so that could make the process somewhat difficult."

"The database is a problem for us, as it's running on Oracle and not everybody likes that."

"Symantec DLP doesn't provide complete cloud coverage. We need another DLP solution to monitor our cloud applications."

"We need to have agent auto-parsing."

"Once you deploy any security tool, of course, you are not 100% confident. As we say, the zero trust model applies."

"Symantec doesn't necessarily catch things that are happening in the DLP features such as someone attempting credit card fraud."

"If you are a small firm with less than 150 users, Symantec can be too pricey."

"The price is a bit high."

"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."

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

"We are happy with the pricing and licencing."
