"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."
"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."

"Some features on Mac and Linux are not complete currently. For example, some device control features haven't been transferred over to the other systems.

Having the solution fully capable of handling everything in a Mac environment is crucial."
"Technical support could be better."
"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."

"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve by reducing the price."
"The scalability can be improved, and the solution can be optimized."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve on the training. Every organization is different and to fine-tune it to block everything properly there needs to be better training. Sometimes it can block some of the information it shouldn't."
"Proofpoint Email Protection could improve the Mail Trace feature and make navigation easier."
"We'd like to have the ability to create more customized reports."
"The largest complaint that we hear from our customers is that there is no local support."
