Pros
"It has the added advantage of offering forensic 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.""It can scale from 100 to 10,000. There's no problem with the scalability.""The most valuable feature of Digital Guardian is its reputation. They have scored high on the Gartner Magic Quadrant.""It has been scalable.""There is a built-in endpoint detection response that helps save money.""We have been able to monitor access to files from each of our workstations."

"It has helped our clients to reduce the time to action on insider threats because it can be integrated.""Because everything is on Microsoft and we use Azure, integration with the product is easier. That's the most important thing when you use many Microsoft products. It's easier to integrate everything in one place.""The product is easy to configure.""One of the valuable features of Purview is the ability to create a legal hold on a user's account within the compliance portal. That's pretty useful when it comes to any litigation or if you want to redeem the content within a mailbox, OneDrive, or a generic public SharePoint site.""I rate Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's stability a ten out of ten.""We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies.""There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems."

Cons
"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.""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.""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.""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 solution should provide better integration with other systems.""They do not provide language options beyond the ones already available, so our language option is missing.""There is no AIP for Linux systems. That's a setback. Another thing it's lacking is libraries to work with Python. It has libraries for C# and C++, for example, but not for Python and, these days, Python is very useful.""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.""Technical support is awful.""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 platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement."
