More Amazon Macie Pros →

"We have been able to monitor access to files from each of our workstations.""The most valuable feature of Digital Guardian is its reputation. They have scored high on the Gartner Magic Quadrant.""The technical support is really terrific.""There is a built-in endpoint detection response that helps save money.""It has been scalable.""It can scale from 100 to 10,000. There's no problem with the scalability.""I like the solution's adaptive inspection and container inspection.""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."

Cons
"Amazon Macie is expensive."

More Amazon Macie Cons →

"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.""The solution has complexities around policy creation and deployment.""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.""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.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Digital Guardian has both, subscription and perpetual licenses, but I think when everything (all technologies) will go to the cloud they will only offer subscriptions."
  • "If I compare Digital Guardian with Symantec, the license cost is lower, but McAfee can be cheaper than Digital Guardian. It depends on how many licenses you plan to buy and how big the project is. The cost is not so high as Symantec, but not as cheap as McAfee. They can easily sell the solution for price."
  • "The price of Digital Guardian is expensive."
  • "The cost was around $300,000."
  • "The price of Digital Guardian is on the higher end compared to other vendors."
  • "I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten because Digital Guardian is expensive."
