Sonu Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
System Administrator at Logic Planet Inc
Comes with data leak protection features but technical support is too slow
We use the solution for endpoints.  The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection.  Safetica ONE's technical support is too slow.  I have been using the product for six months.  I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.  I rate Safetica ONE's scalability a five out of…
Abhishek Sawant - PeerSpot reviewer
System Manager at Randstad
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

"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."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."
"The current version of the solution is stable...It is easy to scale the solution."
"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."
"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."
"This is a good solution, is easy to deploy and is scalable."
"Overall, it is an excellent product."
"It has good options for policy findings. You can do granular policy enhancements with multiple options. And the SMB blocking is a very good feature."
"It is the best solution I have ever used."
"In short, the technical support is great."
"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."
"There's only one policy needed to implement for all channels."
"I'm able to track everyone who is trying to send information outside the environment and to know if they are not supposed to be sending it. I'm also able to see the people who are accessing or maybe try to access the information they are not supposed to be accessing based on their level of classification. It gives me overall control of who has got access to what and at what point. And who can do what with specific information."
"Symantec DLP has many servers, and the solution is very powerful because you can use it in ports, endpoints, networks, and email servers to prevent the leakage of emails. DLP can be integrated with Symantec encryption."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."
"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."
"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"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."
"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."
"The product needs to improve support."
"There is room for improvement in incident management within Symantec Data Loss Prevention because most of the incidents are false positives."
"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."
"There should be more documentation with Symantec Data Loss Prevention. We had trouble with the first few deployments."
"Symantec Data Loss Prevention's AI technology has certain shortcomings where improvements can be made."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"DLP could be improved by implementing a cloud-based console."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers need to pay for a yearly license per device."
"The pricing for ESET Safetica is less as compared to other solutions. The customers have to pay only for the license."
"Safetica ONE is expensive."
"The licensing cost for this solution depends on the deal size and your use case. In our instance, it costs $35 per user per year. This is a reasonable price."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"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 solution's pricing is based on a license model."
"The price is a bit high."
"If you are a small firm with less than 150 users, Symantec can be too pricey."
"Pricing is above average."
