    Once I had some IT person who just assumed I have no valuable files on other partition, and this person formatted my entire PC. Even though I transfered all my important files from C partition for this reason. I was devastated, and more so that this young person told me the files can't be recovered. Lucky for me I remembered this software that we often use at work. I'm not sure for when it's less appropriate, it's not really a tool someone needs for every day use, but once it's needed it really solves what you need

    Email, web browser, and data storage areas will fulfill the security of mobile devices very well. It provides multiple methods of data filtering and classification to ensure important data can be well protected. Unfortunately, it does not support you to make regex-based definitions. for this reason, you need to work on the rules a lot. Another disadvantage is that it cannot monitor Linux systems.

    Symantec DLP works good for our very simple and low complexity use cases and I would highly recommend it for them. However, I can't speak to highly complex or advanced use cases that might arise in certain industries like finance. I would recommend that if you are seeking an Enterprise DLP solution that you absolutely must explore this product as one of the leaders in the space - not doing so would be negligent in my opinion.

    I previousely used EaseUS data recovery wizard which was free, and it was great for simple basic recovery. But when multiple people are working simultaneosly on a same project, it means a lot to have the ability to search for the specific file or folder with a quick scan. Since switching, this app has become a valuable tool in our asset

    Symantec DLP is the best. Put it in a head to head competition and it will win. However it can be a bit more expensive than other products so don't compare on price, compare on quality of product.
