Please read the below features that both having (DLP and SSIM) , I had also attached the SSIM collector for integrating Symantec DLP. You will get to know all the advantges in details in below Symantec pdf refernce.
What SSIM does ?Protect business interactions, information and IT infrastructure
Use comprehensive data correlation to identify and prioritize risks against security threats to reduce incident response time

3.Create a platform to protect against emerging threats, prevent data breaches, report on incidents, and document compliance
4.Control costs and reduce complexity through continuous security management
- Optimize enterprise security processes to identify vulnerabilities and protect against attacks.
DLP tells you when and where sensitive data is vulnerable, SIM tells you which user accounts have accessed the data
Key BenefitsReduce proliferation of confidential data across enterprise data centers, client systems, remote offices, and end-user machines.
Identify broken business processes transmitting confidential data.
Monitor and protect communications of sensitive content to public websites.
