Comparison results: Based on the parameters we compared, Forcepoint DLP comes out ahead of Digital Guardian. While the two solutions feature valuable endpoint detection and management tools, Digital Guardian’s support team, as well as its licensing cost leave room for improvement.
"I like the solution's adaptive inspection and container inspection."
"The technical support is really terrific."
"The feature we call desktop recording is the most valuable aspect of the solution. Not only can we collect data from the user's usage, but we also capture his screenshots when he is trying to steal the data."
"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."
"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."
"It has the added advantage of offering forensic analysis."
"The most valuable feature of Digital Guardian is its reputation. They have scored high on the Gartner Magic Quadrant."
"Has multiple modules and is good with integration."
"The solution offers very good sensitive data protection."
"We like the ability to customize our requirements and rules, as well as its ease of use and management. It also has a cloud feature and proxy functionality."
"The incident management and fingerprinting have been the most valuable features."
"The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functionality is another helpful feature, especially for unstructured data. Being able to discover sensitive data in an unstructured format is the most beneficial element of the solution."
"The technical support for the solution is very good."
"Forcepoint DLP's most valuable feature is that it provides complete end-to-end security."
"The integration is great."
"Technical support could be better."
"The solution has complexities around policy creation and deployment."
"I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."
"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 initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"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 ease of deployment wasn't as flexible as Digital Guardian."
"My opinion is that the dashboard could be improved and made more user-friendly. They do not enable a wide range of proper inquiries and we need to identify much of what we need on our own, like incident severity."
"The solution's interface is still not user-friendly for some customers. So, its interface can be better."
"The initial setup is a bit complex. You will need help from the peer support team in the configuration."
"We faced some issues with the endpoint installation of the agent as it is not from a common ground."
"Usually for the biome of a small company, like 50 users, setup takes more than one week."
"With respect to the discovery component, the reports are very hard to interpret because they come out in an illogical format."
"An area for improvement for Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is its price. It would be good if they could offer better pricing."
