From my experience, we have not experienced any inaccuracies. Fortra's Digital Guardian does have some mishaps and imperfections, but it has been really helpful for us as a DLP tool. It gives its purpose and actually does its job, but it still could be better. Regarding security, the console and tool itself are secure. Most aspects of the console or the tool are not something that we can access unless we need to or unless we are approved for access. In terms of access, I can say it is secure. My current company is the only customer, and they do not have any existing relationship or partnership. I have not mentioned any other information. I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

Real-time data visibility capability of Fortra's Digital Guardian helps me to manage data security effectively, which is a good point compared to other DLP solutions. For the specific compliance needs that Fortra's Digital Guardian addresses for my company, it depends on the environment; from my experience, compliance is acceptable since every client usually has similar compliance needs that the system can integrate with, although it has limitations as well. I give Fortra's Digital Guardian a rating of nine points since it deserves that recognition.

The features of Fortra's Digital Guardian that have been the most impactful in protecting sensitive information revolve around the areas of eDLP and nDLP since they can monitor and detect without deploying any policy. Unlike the other DLP tools, where you need to deploy the policy before it can be detected, with eDLP, once it is installed accordingly and includes the agents, Fortra's Digital Guardian eDLP can monitor whatever activities are done by users. When it comes to nDLP, the discovery part is good. Fortra's engineers create a lot of system default policies. Once you install it in your system, the default policy can be customized according to the client's needs. The system default policy is something you can customize and can be made workable on the client side. I don't have experience integrating AI with the tool. I recommend the tool to others, especially as long as I notice that what one needs is applicable to Fortra's Digital Guardian application. I have already recommended the tool four times to others. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.
