It's easy to set up because you point the DNS to it, and it's working in under 15 minutes
Cloudflare is highly scalable. Cloudflare is a system with a web portal that the end users like me see. It's a console where we can adjust the DNS, caching, and security features all in that console. Cloudflare owns thousands of servers across the world that cache the data. It's a powerful solution. When clients sign up for Cloudflare, they're getting this monster content delivery network, security, and a web application firewall in one. It's all rolled into one, and it's massive. Unless you have your website hosted on a massive hosting provider, there's no way that you can deliver the amount of data that Cloudflare can provide to the end users. If you have static content, there's no way that you can ever match what Cloudflare can do. Obviously, there are competitors to Cloudflare that do the same, but I'm saying other types of solutions. Let's say you go with F5. Great, that's on-prem. That's in your colo. You can't deliver as much data to the internet as you can with a CDN. You don't have to spend $20,000 on a net scaler, F5, or whatever Cisco's selling now. You don't have to buy that. You pay them $50 a month or $150 a month. It's totally worth it because even in five years, you'll never get the performance value, not just the actual ROI. You have to consider how much throughput you can get with Cloudflare.

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.

Email scanning and keyword monitoring improve compliance with data policies
Trend Micro DLP allows me to scan and monitor emails for specific words, ensuring compliance with data loss prevention policies. The DLP system captures keywords from email headers and subjects, and if those words are present, the DLP system operates accordingly. I also use DLP for monitoring data at rest, data in transit, and external devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its most significant benefit to date is the speed with which it refreshes DNS records on the internet once you change it. If you are changing a website or registering a new record, it is very quick."
"I rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"The attacker won't have details since my public IP is anonymous. It offers us good privacy."
"Easier http to https redirect using page rules"
"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 a fast and secure DNS."
"Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."
"The solution can easily scale."
"The exfiltration capabilities are great. You can put all of these rules in the product to detect the patterns and text."
"Among the many features, I like the comprehensive support for features across network stages and email. Customers are very happy with its prevention capabilities, as there is no delay in action when new policies are applied. Regarding incident response abilities, it is helpful, although we receive about 10%-20% false positives."
"The data matching features are the most valuable due to the easy policy setup and implementation."
"The most valuable aspect of Symantec DLP is its powerful policy system."
"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."
"The synchronize application detection policies have been very good."
"There's only one policy needed to implement for all channels."
"I'm not an administrator of Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention, but an end-user, and what I like about it is that it can detect events that could cause data loss. It's a good solution."
"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is a reliable product."
"We are able to check the log and keep records."
"The most values feature of this solution are the micro DLP features."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Trend Micro has improved my client's organization by recovering malware disabled network adaptors from servers."
"The interface and dashboard are okay."
 

Cons

"Latencies are always a problem."
"Integration involving API with other products could be more user-friendly."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"DNS Management."
"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."
"It should have easier documentation for the configuration. It's very technical and people who aren't technical should also be able to do the configuration."
"The product needs to improve its automation."
"We're not sure if there was an issue or a bug on the system recently because as of right now if someone sends out a compressed encrypted file, the DLP won't scan it."
"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."
"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."
"This product is very powerful but it is very complex, so making it simpler to use would be an improvement."
"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."
"Reporting could be improved."
"We want a more proactive reporting structure."
"They need to expand the channels they check."
"There is a need for more predefined templates in the DLP tool."
"Most of the functions don't work in the way that they are supposed to."
"Typically, DLP solutions do not cover emails without an additional component, which necessitates a dual-service proposal. Comparatively, on-premises deployments offer more features locally than online or remote deployments, which sometimes face challenges with feature support. This is a common issue with Trend."
"Trend Micro could be priced better, currently, it's a bit high. And there needs to be better after the sale, technical support."
"Needs a remote login option."
"The solution could use better logging in the future."
"Being able to specify an agent list, or client list, to allow support from outside of the organization, would be of benefit to this solution."
"It's hard for me to answer any questions about missing features. It's the outside companies who support us that manage this DLP solution at this moment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"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."
"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."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The price is reasonable."
"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 product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"DLP could be a bit cheaper."
"I think it is an expensive tool."
"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."
"For pricing, I rate Symantec DLP an eight out of ten."
"The price of Symantec Data Loss Prevention could be reduced."
"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."
"It's not too expensive, especially when compared to SecureTech, and Forcepoint. It's actually cheaper. A license costs about INR 4,000 to INR 5,000, roughly $60 per license per year. In comparison, Forcepoint licenses are around $90 to $95."
"It's relatively cheap so the pricing is okay."
"The platform is expensive. We purchase its yearly license."
"Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention is expensive compared to other solutions."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The product is worth the money you pay for it. It is not an expensive solution."
"The client needs to pay for the Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention license on an annual basis."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap solution. I rate the solution's pricing a two on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
