Fortra DLP Likes & Dislikes

Like

The policy flexibility and the capability of the data protection are the most outstanding. It allows us to create highly customized rules while effectively monitoring and preventing data exfiltration across multiple channels, such as online notepad, email, generative AI and instant messaging. I also like the visibility it provides into the alerts. This makes it easier for us to investigate the incident and support the compliance requirement.

    The platform provides strong data protection capabilities, especially in monitoring data exfiltration across endpoints and email. The policy and rule configuration is straight forward and flexible that allow us to customize to align with our organization's and compliance security requirements. From an operations perspective, the implementation and administration is very straightforward and the management console offers clear visibility into the alerts and user activity. The alerting and reporting pages are very useful for incident response and audit reporting.
