The solution covers DLP needs seamlessly and comes with great templates. Other solutions require more hands on customization out of the box than DG. > > **Cons**: Only downside I see with Digital Guardian is cost. The solution is very pricey. If going with the on premises solution it is also very resource intensive. This can easily be avoided with their SaaS offering. ----- ### "Good Cloud Based EDR" — 4.0/5 > **Patrick** | *13 January 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Agents are cloud based and do not require servers internally. This works well for a work from home environment. > > **Cons**: The UI could use some improvement. It is a little bit slow at times and feels a bit clunky. There are a lot of options that is easy to get lost in and switching between two platforms to manage the solution is a little tedious. > > Protection for possible endpoint data efiltration. ----- ### "Review of Digital Guardian" — 3.0/5 > **Nana Kwame** | *17 March 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Digital Guardian's data discovery and classification capabilities helps my institution to identify and protect our sensitive data, which is essential for compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. > > **Cons**: Though it has good capabilities, they make it complex and challenging to use especially if the user is the admin. > > It provides features for cloud security, sophisticated threat defense, and data loss prevention which gives us some peace of mind. ----- ### "DLP Solution that Covers All" — 4.0/5 > **Leo** | *30 November 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very highly customizable, DG offers the unique approach to tag every file so confidential file will still be controlled even file has been encrypted or changed format. > > **Cons**: Endpoint DLP doesn't support fingerprinting . ----- ### "Good for windows 7" — 3.0/5 > **Pericles** | *21 September 2018* | Government Relations | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: A good product with lots of functions but not for win 10. > > **Cons**: Install the agent to your win 10 pc's and let microsoft do one of its updates next thing is that you do it on a weekend Monday morning yo will be reverting all win 10 pc to previous version or unistal DG agent for the pc's to work. > > overall not a good experience with the product. ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/171303/dg-data-protection-platform) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | ----- ## Structured Data
