The MDR will be like the network's VOP. They're actually removing themselves away from that as it's an on-premise solution. It's a box. They were trying not to sell that anymore, and they were pushing people on their platform via the cloud, which is faster as they have a SaaS deployment. The solution is likely one of the best in the industry. It offers a very valuable bang for your buck. Symantec and Forcepoint just don't offer the kind of features that are on offer here. It's excellent at protecting even the most sensitive information - like social insurance numbers, etc. Digital Guardian has an EDR built-in. Therefore, instead of buying a DLP and then buying an EDR solution with Symantec and a subscription license, it's all bundled up in Digital Guardian. If you want the best technology - including digital analytics and AI - and you want it all built-in, you want to use this solution. Companies like Symantec and Forcepoint just can't offer that. Overall, I would rate them at a ten out of ten.
