Digital Guardian Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Cyber Security Researcher at a engineering company with 10,001+ employees4.0We primarily use Digital Guardian for monitoring and preventing unauthorized data transfers, appreciating its robust data loss prevention and flexible deployment. It provides valuable analytics but could improve in CPU efficiency and agent deployment functionality. We've achieved ROI with it.
System Engineer/Consultant at Notable Frontier Sdn Bhd4.0I use Digital Guardian to address infrastructure issues and for incident management. I value its adaptive inspection and data monitoring features for controlling PII within enterprise networks. It requires timely updates for compatibility with the latest Windows versions.
Security Engineer at Protego Trust Bank4.0I used Digital Guardian for both on-premise and SaaS deployments. Its data classification and discovery features are excellent, and it's stable and scalable. While technical support could improve, there's potential ROI if clients learn the product.
Head of IT Infrastructure at a non-tech company with 1,001-5,000 employees3.0We use Digital Guardian to secure data leaks, but the partner program needs improvement. Despite paying for the solution, we didn't receive adequate support, especially with web-based emails like Google, leaving us dissatisfied with the overall experience.
Product Manager at Tech Titan Distribution Co., Ltd.4.0I conducted a POC with Digital Guardian, primarily due to its high reputation on the Gartner Magic Quadrant. However, the solution lacks an on-premise version, which is crucial for non-cloud sectors like government agencies.

Practice Manager at Saapatech3.5I provide Digital Guardian to clients for data loss prevention, protecting data across channels like email and USB. It's stable and scalable, with forensic analysis capabilities. However, it has complex policy deployment, a heavy agent, and could improve technical support.
