Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile vs. Symantec Data Loss Prevention

Although
it is extremely rare, performance issues can arise when we protect data because
of the rising volume of traffic on our system. The constant version updates
annoy me a lot. It's difficult to upgrade the clients frequently if you have a
larger number of clients.

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.

Even programmers who build complex code do not experience any
negative effects from this lightweight agent, which cannot be readily destroyed
or removed so that devices are always being watched. Additionally, it offers
deception technologies that other suppliers frequently do not in comparable
solutions. It has the capacity to proactively quarantine potentially infected
devices.

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.
