Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.

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…
ARAVINDAN K - PeerSpot reviewer
Strengthened security operations with endpoint-level protection but database flexibility could improve
Symantec Data Loss Prevention has proprietary metadata and is well-suited for endpoint-level security. It stands out for supporting multiple protocols like email and SMTP without needing user profile login for endpoint agents. Once policies are downloaded to the local system, they function independently of a user's login. The solution helps enhance security operations when integrated with ServiceNow and offers robust incident response capabilities.

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 of Cloudflare DNS is its global reach and it is always evolving."
"DDoS attacks target unprotected machines. Cloudflare detects and stops these attacks using internal systems. It identifies incoming DDoS attacks, issuing challenges or blocking them immediately."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"Even when there is a high load on our servers, Cloudflare is able to cache the data and serve it to users, ensuring they can still access the website."
"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"I rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"Cloudflare DNS is widely used, and it's good for websites. If we use Cloudflare DNS and update one record, it updates in their office instantly."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall."
"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."
"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."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."
"Safetica ONE is easy to use and set up. We can set up rules and policies quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the data classification."
"The incident response options and reporting features are particularly strong, with the inclusion of Incident Classification Assessment (ICA) for integrated reporting."
"The product is very stable."
"The data matching features are the most valuable due to the easy policy setup and implementation."
"The accuracy in terms of the rate of detection is good."
"There's only one policy needed to implement for all channels."
"For detection, it has a great algorithm. It can recognize ID numbers and everything that you put in a policy for the end-users. That is really great for us as an institution where we have sensitive data. It recognizes all the sensitive data when someone tries to transfer it or put in other data."
"The product is very robust."
"The incident response capability has been instrumental in mitigating potential data loss."
 

Cons

"Technical support is not well developed. While there are good engineers, Cloudflare does not offer hands-on technical support to fix customer problems but rather a self-service model."
"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."
"It should confirm audit findings of the assigned area with auditees to ensure that the audit conclusions are based on an accurate understanding of the issues."
"The timing aspect can lead to it being considered overpriced. This is a particular concern we have with Cloudflare, as they may struggle with accurately detecting the client."
"Cloudflare's console should be made more user-friendly."
"I think the APIs are a little bit hard for us to work with. The APIs could be more open so that we could integrate better with our SolarWinds or our monitoring solution."
"Areas like how assessment, discovery, and payload are dealt with and how it all comes into your organization can be considered when trying to make suggestions to Cloudflare for improvements."
"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."
"The product needs to improve support."
"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"They could improve the predefined reports because they don't have much information. We would like detailed reports."
"I would like to see an improved interface, with better documentation and integration with other products."
"The database is a problem for us, as it's running on Oracle and not everybody likes that."
"A main disadvantage of Symantec DLP is its reliance on Oracle, especially compared to other products like Forcepoint, which offer MSSQL database options that are more convenient."
"The creation of any new policy in Symantec Data Loss Prevention needs to be made easier."
"There are some features that are not available which are required by every data loss prevention solution."
"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."
"I do have a problem with the database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't have any issues with the price."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."
"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"The solution has many features but there are ones that you need to pay for. Sometimes you have to find out which is available for free and which you have to pay for."
"The price is reasonable."
"It's a premium model. You can start at zero and work your way up to the enterprise model, which has a very high pricing level."
"Safetica ONE is expensive."
"The pricing for ESET Safetica is less as compared to other solutions. The customers have to pay only for the license."
"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."
"Customers need to pay for a yearly license per device."
"We are happy with the pricing and licencing."
"From what I know the pricing is good, it's not too expensive. If you negotiate you can get a good price."
"The platform is not very expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price is competitive."
"In terms of pricing, Symantec DLP offers reasonable rates compared to other products like Forcepoint or Jargill, making it a good investment for ROI, typically seen within two years."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"Pricing is above average."
