"It has been scalable."

"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 the added advantage of offering forensic analysis."
"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."
"Our organization's intellectual property is not misused or extracted without permission."
"A very user-friendly predefining feature."
"I like the SaaS solution they're offering now a little bit more. It's a new product but it's easy to install and configure."
"Has multiple modules and is good with integration."
"Stable and scalable solution for data protection. It offers good technical support, and has no major installation issues."

"Regardless of the size of your company, this solution can be scaled accurately."
"Technical support could be better."
"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. If they could have their Windows features also available on Mac and Linux, that would be perfect. Some of our customers have a Mac environment for their RD environment. Having the solution fully capable of handling everything in a Mac environment is crucial."
"The initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions."
"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."
"I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Everything takes a long time, as it does in every software company, especially since COVID. That is something I notice with every product I use."
"The solution lacks sufficient customization."
"The deployment and troubleshooting aspects of Forcepoint need improving."
"The post-optical character recognization feature could be improved because it only really works on documents with some length (at least three paragraphs)."
"The protection of personal data needs to be improved."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention can improve by having an uninstall option for the client or restart of a client agent can be controlled from the server. This feature is missing which is available with other solutions."
"The policy update size and agent size could be improved. We would also like to have a proper solution for Linux OS which Forcepoint does not offer."
"The price could be reduced to be more cost, effective."
