  • 1.  Technical Comparison between Symantec DLP and McAfee DLP

    Hi there,

    I need tech comparison between Symantec DLP and McAfee DLP.

    I hope there will be a sufficient information in deciding which product to use.

    I also hope that the comparison will be apple-to-apple.

     

    Thanks!

    Dear Gerry,

     

    I m working on symnatec DLP since last 3 years and also worked on Websense and Mcafee but I find even though Symnatec might have less feature than any other vendor but having all required feature with user friendly exp. with console.

    If you have time I would do a side by side proof of concept between the 2.  There are pluses and minuses for both products and I think that is the best way to help you understand the differences between the two products.

    Is there an area of Data Loss (Endpoint, Network, Data at Rest) that you are looking at specifically?  

     

    Do you have a partner that can help you evaulate products correctly?

    Thanks kishorilal1986

     

    Thanks for your reply.

    I was wondering what kind of feature are you talking about?

    I am talking basically about endpoint and anything related with data encryption.

     

    cheers

    Hi jjesse

     

    thanks for your input.

    I am concentrating in Endpoint and anything related with data encryption.

    Oh one more thing, other than McAfee, I also need to have a comparion with Sophos as well.

    If you could provide me comparison with side by side proof will much appreciated.

    Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you.

     

    Cheers.

    Gerry:
    I have significant experience with all four of the DLP products in the upper right hand of the magic quadrant and over a decade of experience with DLP. I have all of these solutions running in our lab.  Also, we have a SOC Team that manages all four for many clients so have a unique view into how effective these systems perform, what it takes to manage the uptime & availability, policy maintenance, triage, remediation and reporting as well as the resources and skill sets required. If your organization is serious about DLP and you need to get detailed information regarding any of these products and how they compare, let me know. I can insure your organization selects the right product for the right reasons and understands how to make it effective in your environment.
