A way for users to manage their credentials on the go using a stable, and scalable app

I give the solution an eight out of ten. It's hard to comment on the number of users because the feature is completely for corporate employees who have Blackberry devices, so it's hard to track how many users there are. I advise making your decision to use the solution based on the usage in the company or the demand of the business, which you are running based on the demand.

Enterprise data protection has supported regulatory compliance and integrates with classification tools

In terms of functionality, many features are valuable in Digital Guardian, as the first thing for most customers is that they are using solutions such as Boldon James and Titus, which fall under the classification side, and Digital Guardian can easily integrate with this data classification solution and has a very granular level of configuration and policy tuning. Digital Guardian's data protection policies are indeed useful for my clients. Regarding Digital Guardian, I find it to be a very good solution, and in fact, it is an enterprise-level solution that has very tight integration with most of the products, with Fortra but also with others.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"There is a built-in endpoint detection response that helps save money."

"It has been scalable."

"In Digital Guardian, they have the cloud correlation servers that give you visibility work like EBR and the correlation server works very well for security analysis."

"We have been able to monitor access to files from each of our workstations."

"The technical support is really terrific."

"The feature we call desktop recording is the most valuable aspect of the solution. Not only can we collect data from the user's usage, but we also capture his screenshots when he is trying to steal the data."

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

"It has the added advantage of offering forensic analysis."

More Digital Guardian pros

Cons

"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."

"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."

"The solution has complexities around policy creation and deployment."

"The room for improvement with Digital Guardian is that it will be better with the Linux agent because it is the only DLP solution for Linux workstations. It still needs to upgrade the agents to the latest version for the Linux kernel."

"It would be helpful if there was an on-premise version of the solution for companies that cannot use the cloud, such as government sectors."

"Digital Guardian is an excellent solution but our experience with the partner has been the most horrible experience we have ever had with any partner."

"Some features on Mac and Linux are not complete currently. For example, some device control features haven't been transferred over to the other systems. If they could have their Windows features also available on Mac and Linux, that would be perfect. Some of our customers have a Mac environment for their RD environment. Having the solution fully capable of handling everything in a Mac environment is crucial."

"Technical support could be better."

"I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."

"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."

More Digital Guardian cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."

"I am not able to remember the amount, but users have to subscribe for a certain amount, so once they subscribe, the amount gets sent."

"The cost was around $300,000."

"The price of Digital Guardian is on the higher end compared to other vendors."

"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten because Digital Guardian is expensive."

"Digital Guardian has both, subscription and perpetual licenses, but I think when everything (all technologies) will go to the cloud they will only offer subscriptions."

"If I compare Digital Guardian with Symantec, the license cost is lower, but McAfee can be cheaper than Digital Guardian. It depends on how many licenses you plan to buy and how big the project is. The cost is not so high as Symantec, but not as cheap as McAfee. They can easily sell the solution for price."

"The price of Digital Guardian is expensive."
