    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.

    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.

    AccessPatrol by CurrentWare Screenshots

    Screenshot of AccessPatrol's web console. This password-protected console is accessible to designated operators using a desktop or laptop that is connected to the LAN that the CurrentWare console is installed on.

All users and computers with CurrentWare Clients installed can be managed from the console, including offsite/remote workers.Screenshot of AccessPatrol's device permissions window. This is the list of devices that can be blocked with AccessPatrol, including removable storage devices such as USB flash drives, optical media, and floppy disks. AccessPatrol can also block WiFi, Printers/Scanners, and other peripheral devices.

If specific USB devices need to be allowed that can be whitelisted using the Allowed List. By design AccessPatrol does not block USB-based HID devices such as keyboards and mice; blocking USBs will still allow these devices to function as normal.Screenshot of AccessPatrol's USB activity dashboards provide aggregated and granular USB activity data at a glance including file operations and blocked vs allowed devicesScreenshot of AccessPatrol's Block File Transfers window.  File transfers can be blocked based on extensions or specific file names.Product screenshotProduct screenshot
