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.

Company data leaking can lead to huge losses. That's why I recommend all my colleagues and any other business person to implement McAfee Total Protection for DLP to gain visibility in data and initiate policy violations that block and encrypt data that's against those policies.

  • McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention is a robust tool for scanning network traffic, searching for sensitive company information, and enforcing policies on all data sources, but it lacks enough tutorials for all the features to guide users when using it.

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.

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.

McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention offers multiple modules such as DLP discover, monitor, and prevent among others that make it a robust tool to implement on all DPL scenarios. On the other hand, Paubox Email Suite focuses more on email data loss protection.
