Based on my research, I would choose the Symantec DLP product. This is because out of
the different functions and options I chose (DLP Discover, DLP Management System, DLP
Advanced Detection, Configuration Flexibility, Pricing Flexibility, and Service & Support),
they scored the highest in almost all categories besides Pricing Flexibility, and in my
opinion, I would rather pay a bit more for a better product than pay less for a bad product.
These features show that a high standard is held across many different areas of the
product, not just necessarily its core functions, which is important in order to have a useful
and successful DLP product.
