Best alternatives to Digital Guardian for data protection?

I am a Security Consultant working for Ernst & Young LLP, based out of Houston.

I am part of the Data Protection (Cyber) team helping Fortune 500 clients in Data Protection.

One of my clients is a Non-Profit organization and they are trying to enhance their DLP environment. Currently they have Digital Guardian deployed at their endpoints. Typically they run their 'Data in Use' show with limited capabilities. 

They want to enhance their DLP Solution in Network (Data in Motion), Data at Rest, Data in Cloud and Data in Use (at endpoints).

They would like to evaluate new DLP vendors.

We have shortlisted Digital Guardian, Symantec, McAfee, Forcepoint, Skyhigh, and RSA-DLP.

Which of these vendors would you recommend and why?

Do you recommend any others to consider?

If you have a product comparison matrix, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share it.

Data loss prevention (DLP) is an important security technology that can help organizations protect their data from unauthorized access, misuse, and data loss. DLP solutions are designed to detect data breaches and alert companies about the possible security risks associated with data storage. They can be used to block data transfers or restrict access to data stored in cloud-based data stores. In addition, DLP solutions can be used to monitor data usage and detect malicious behavior such as data theft or data leakage. By implementing data loss prevention technology, companies can protect their data from external threats and unauthorized access. When it comes to Email Cloud Security, Symantec DLP, Proofpoint DLP, and Microsoft Purview DLP are all strong contenders. But which solution is the right one for you? Well, that depends on your specific needs. If you prioritize ease of use and scalability in your Email Cloud Security solutions, then Symantec DLP is the right choice. If, on the other hand, you value data privacy and protection then Proofpoint DLP is a better option. Finally, Microsoft Purview DLP stands out for its comprehensive analytics tools that give users greater insight into their Email Cloud Security performance. So which Email Cloud Security solution do you pick? Choose wisely! It could make all the difference.
