Digital Guardian stands out among DLP solutions for its high degree of customization and scalability, as well as its impressive feature set compared to other products on the market. It is worth noting, however, that while some security vendors may offer a complete suite of security tools, relying on a single vendor for all security needs presents a single point of failure. For this reason, it is recommended that organizations consider leveraging multiple vendors with niche expertise in specific areas, to ensure that they receive the best possible support and service for each tool.

This approach also allows organizations to avoid vendor lock-in, which can limit flexibility and inhibit the adoption of new technologies. By selecting tools from a variety of vendors based on their specific expertise, organizations can create a more diverse security strategy that is better equipped to respond to new and emerging threats.

While I am not an expert in the specifics of other DLP tools on the market, I would encourage organizations to carefully evaluate their security needs and select tools from multiple vendors based on their individual strengths. I rate Digital Guardian highly with an eight out of ten but believe that a diverse security strategy is critical for organizations looking to effectively protect their sensitive data and mitigate risk.

I cannot recall the version of the solution I used. 

Users need to get a customer success manager if they buy the product. That said, it's important to do a POC first and to have a project manager in place to put everything together.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

I rate Digital Guardian an eight out of ten

I give the solution a six out of ten because of the experience with the partner.

We should have data classification in place and understand our data classification within our organization before we begin exploring data leak prevention solutions.

I'd advise new customers to do a POC first and do a trial for two months. When they trial, they should do it in a way that mirrors real-world scenarios so that they can see how it would really work. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. 

I’m a customer and end-user.

I’d advise new users to learn the technology as best they can. It is a good technology and the user will develop good skills. Enhance your skills if you can to use Digital Guardian, in terms of data security, to its fullest.

I’d rate the solution eight out of ten as it is more stable and has fewer loopholes in terms of sensors and agents.

My role features use cases with vulnerabilities the current version cannot manage. We send Digital Guardian all the information they need so we can rectify or provide a solution via patch firmware or any packages built into the application.

I recommend the solution, but it depends on the environment's needs. I rate Digital Guardian an eight out of ten.

Overall, for the endpoint DLP and especially for the manufacturing industry, I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

If you don't have skilled staff, I would not recommend going with Digital Guardian. If you are looking more into deep-dive, postmortem, or forensic analysis, I would recommend it, but you need to have patience to implement the product. You need to bear in mind that support could be very challenging. The implementation, as I said, takes a long time. So if you have skilled staff, they can evaluate and onboard the solution but if you don't know have skilled staff, I would not recommend it.

My biggest lesson learned from dealing with this product is that they commit to something but they don't deliver it. That has been my experience.

I would rate it at five out of 10. Technically the product is good but the stability is not there.

I would recommend that you start looking at policies that would come out of the privacy office, or the DPO, the Data Privacy Officer. Most companies don't have a DPO, and that's why they really need to start looking at creating data classification guidelines and policies and understanding the impacts to the business on where their data flows and how it flows because this impacts the configuration of the digital guardian solution.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done.

If somebody wants to implement a DLP solution, they need to understand which data they need to protect and how they would want to classify this data.

After that, make the choice in which DLP solution you want. I would rate Digital Guardian with a nine out of 10 because there is no solution that will be fully perfect.
