Digital Guardian is generally considered stable, with its robust data loss prevention capabilities being highly valued by organizations. However, as with any complex software solution, there may be occasional challenges in terms of compatibility with certain operating systems or applications. In such cases, it may be necessary to modify settings or entries within Digital Guardian to ensure optimal performance. Overall, Digital Guardian is a stable solution that can be highly customized to meet the specific needs and requirements of organizations.

Sonu Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Comes with data leak protection features but technical support is too slow
We use the solution for endpoints.  The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection.  Safetica ONE's technical support is too slow.  I have been using the product for six months.  I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.  I rate Safetica ONE's scalability a five out of…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It can scale from 100 to 10,000. There's no problem with the scalability."
"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."
"It has been scalable."
"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."
"I like the solution's adaptive inspection and container inspection."
"It has the added advantage of offering forensic analysis."
"There is a built-in endpoint detection response that helps save money."
"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."
"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"The most valuable feature is the data classification."
"The current version of the solution is stable...It is easy to scale the solution."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."
"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."
"Safetica ONE is easy to use and set up. We can set up rules and policies quickly."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."
"The solution has complexities around policy creation and deployment."
"There are a lot of issues with the current version of the Endpoint agent. It's not stable, it's resource-consuming, and there are some performance issues. If they could improve the stability of the agent it would be great."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support could be better."
"The initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions."
"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."
"This solution could be improved if it was available on Linux as well. Currently it can only be deployed on Mac and Windows."
"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."
"Safetica One has every other thing that you need, so I cannot give Safetica NXT a higher mark because it does not have the full features of the enterprise solutions."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."
"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."
"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."
"The product needs to improve support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Digital Guardian is expensive."
"The price of Digital Guardian is on the higher end compared to other vendors."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten because Digital Guardian is expensive."
"The cost was around $300,000."
"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."
"The pricing for ESET Safetica is less as compared to other solutions. The customers have to pay only for the license."
"Customers need to pay for a yearly license per device."
"Safetica ONE is expensive."
"The licensing cost for this solution depends on the deal size and your use case. In our instance, it costs $35 per user per year. This is a reasonable price."
