We performed a comparison between Digital Guardian and Microsoft BitLocker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Encryption solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the solution's adaptive inspection and container inspection."
"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."
"The technical support is really terrific."
"It has the added advantage of offering forensic analysis."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Digital Guardian is its reputation. They have scored high on the Gartner Magic Quadrant."
"It has been scalable."
"We have not seen any bugs or glitches, so the stability is good."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Microsoft BitLocker's most valuable feature is endpoint encryption, and it's quite easy to manage."
"It's very straightforward to recover data. It's safe for us; in case of lost information, it provides multiple options to recover the data."
"The solution is included in Windows 11."
"The manageability of it is a valuable feature."
"I like the fact that you can get a BitLocker encryption key out of OneDrive."
"The ease of administering and integrating the solution is great."
"Technical support could be better."
"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."
"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 room for improvement with Digital Guardian is that it will be better with the Linux agent because it is the only DLP solution for Linux workstations. It still needs to upgrade the agents to the latest version for the Linux kernel."
"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."
"The solution has complexities around policy creation and deployment."
"The initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions."
"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."
"More customization options would have been nice, such as password selection, actions when the screen is locked, etc."
"The people at the first level of support refer you to articles that do not pertain to the problem at hand."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"If the encryption was faster then it would make the experience more pleasant."
"There are options which could be implemented to make it a little more like PGP Whole Disk Encryption."
"I often have to make multiple attempts to log in."
"The initial setup is complex."
