There are two parts: one is the encryption which is standard and no AI is needed, but the data protection part could benefit from AI to detect new types of data and protect it.

Customer Service

Sentiment score

6.7

Digital Guardian's customer service is prompt but can be inconsistent, especially for complex issues or international clients.

Sentiment score

7.4

Trellix Endpoint Security Platform's customer service is praised for efficiency but varies in consistency and response time regionally.

For vendor support, such as Fortra support, I would rate it a seven because all the support comes from different parts that sometimes have challenges meeting time zones, and sometimes they reroute to distributors and rely on partners.

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

IT Manager at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

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.

Threat detection is effective, and the solution provides good control over device access, but it still needs better troubleshooting options for agent-related issues.

Senior Associate at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

From an improvement perspective, I am looking for a way to troubleshoot situations where the endpoint agent becomes corrupted and requires reinstallation, as there is currently no option to resolve these issues without rebooting the system. I give it a rating of seven because, in today’s scenario, the portal is complicated to navigate. The Trellix Endpoint Security Platform dashboard is somewhat difficult to understand, and it takes considerable time to familiarize oneself with the tools and policies compared to other solutions. For on-premises deployment, I would also like to highlight that the architecture is quite complex, which is an area Trellix Endpoint Security Platform should consider improving.
