"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 helped our clients to reduce the time to action on insider threats because it can be integrated."
"There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems."

"I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."
"The support is poor."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's licensing is expensive."
"A site can have different containers where you store data. We have always wanted to apply compliance, labels, and policies at the container level, rather than to an outer shell or at the site level. That is something we have been looking forward to and I believe Microsoft is already planning something like that."
"There is no AIP for Linux systems. That's a setback. Another thing it's lacking is libraries to work with Python. It has libraries for C# and C++, for example, but not for Python and, these days, Python is very useful."

"The platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement."
"Technical support is awful."
