Highly customizable, helpful support, and multiple modules available

Pros

"Some of the features that are highly appreciated are its robust data loss prevention capabilities, flexible deployment options, and the ability to monitor data transfer across multiple vectors."

Cons

"When considering potential areas for improvement, it may be beneficial for Digital Guardian to optimize its processes and reduce the computational demands on the system, particularly with regard to high CPU usage. Although Digital Guardian offers numerous benefits, it can consume a substantial amount of RAM and CPU power."

Prevents data leaks, and is stable, but the partner program has serious room for improvement

Pros

A scalable DLP solution that helped report and close cases

Pros

"I like the solution's adaptive inspection and container inspection."

Cons

"If the client uses Windows 10 or 11 and Microsoft updates the operating system's version, Digital Guardian must update their product to match compatibility."

Scales well and good reputation

Has good scalability but it's not stable and is resource-consuming

Pros

"It can scale from 100 to 10,000. There's no problem with the scalability."

Cons

"There are a lot of issues with the current version of the Endpoint agent. It's not stable, it's resource-consuming, and there are some performance issues. If they could improve the stability of the agent it would be great."
