Digital Guardian vs Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention comparison

"It has been scalable."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"The technical support is really terrific."

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

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

"When you are going to use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, most of the setup is already done by default as per your needs."

"The auto-labeling feature is definitely the most valuable feature. It goes in and labels the documents for you in different repositories. It covers the Outlook and Exchange repositories along with SharePoint and OneDrive. It is really helpful in those areas."

"The product can block the uploads to cloud services."

"For Purview's natively integrated compliance across Azure, Dynamics 365, and Office 365, I would give it a 10 out of 10. It provides all the insights and information."

"I rate Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's stability a ten out of ten."

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's responses are faster. Its installation is also reliable. The security score helps with the security part."

"If we can prevent information from going out, eventually, when a regulator is asking about our security measures, we can show what we've been doing."

"We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"The initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions."

"Technical support could be better."

"We faced a performance issue with the tool when we didn't get alerts for file uploads."

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's licensing is expensive."

"Technical support is awful."

"The support is poor."

"There is a lot of ambiguity when you are setting up labels, such as sensitive information labels. It is a little daunting at first if you don't have prior knowledge, and there is a little bit of a learning curve for setting up the labels. Some of the setup wizards could be more helpful from an AI perspective. They can streamline the setup through more AI technologies so that you don't have to jump through so many hoops and different menus and dropdowns. It would be useful to have a setup wizard that is more hands-off and engaging for setting up the information type labels. If you tell them this is what we're trying to protect, it should basically start to lead you down that path of best practices. Such a feature would be great."

"A site can have different containers where you store data. We have always wanted to apply compliance, labels, and policies at the container level, rather than to an outer shell or at the site level. That is something we have been looking forward to and I believe Microsoft is already planning something like that."

"They do not provide language options beyond the ones already available, so our language option is missing."

"I would like Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to be on the source code or SQL databases. It is difficult to do classification and labeling when you have a third-party source code or a third-party Oracle database. It is seamless when it comes to Microsoft documents but is not so with third-party source codes. Microsoft needs to work on it a little bit more."

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

"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."

"The cost was around $300,000."

"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."

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

"The price of Digital Guardian is expensive."

"It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."

"Though I am not a specialist, the tool is quite expensive."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"It is a part of our Microsoft licensing. We pay for a yearly renewal. Its price is reasonable for the size of the organization we are. It is fairly competitive, and you get what you pay for. We have an E5 license, and a part of understanding the E5 license is to see what all you get with it. If you really look at it from that standpoint, you get a lot of value. You have Defender and all its security features in there as well. Their licensing is fairly flexible. They have different programs. We've seen ones where you could pay for up to three to five years in advance. There is also a monthly pay-as-you-go type of deal, but we're doing a yearly renewal and fixing the budget."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The product has the best price-to-performance ratio."

"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as one out of ten."

"I am satisfied with the tool's pricing."
