Kernel-level implementation that competitors can’t match, with deep visibility. It also includes built-in automatic data classification with no additional license required. Cross-platform support is strong as well (MacOS all versions, Linux endpoints including Red Hat, and the Windows Server family). The policy engine is flexible, and the application management feature works well with the DLP agent. Because of the classification capability, content doesn’t need to be checked again during data transfers, which helps maintain high performance. We can also easily benefit from up-to-date, dynamic lists (Feed List), and this helps us stand out in demos and POCs. Thanks to the local proxy, there’s no need to distribute extra add-ons or browser extensions. It also supports read/write capability with MIP. From a DLP perspective, the investment is worthwhile when classification labels are actively used to drive controls such as blocking, warning, encryption, quarantine, or audit-only actions. The overall value depends on how well the classification model is aligned with the organization’s DLP policies and how consistently users apply the labels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no API support in the on-premise setup. In content scanning, values such as TCKN and TR IBAN cannot be verified because of the algorithm. Regex is also flagged as a reason for false positives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The User Interface is seamless and easy to use, for beginners like myself. It gives really great performance and is better than other tools on the market at a fraction of the price. I was also able to integrate easily with other tools I use and getting help was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I didnt like. I recommend this product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to administer and customizable area to define deployments of agent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still high CPU usage for some newly discovered endpoints, that can affect business process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data across multiple systems, giving organizations clear visibility into where their critical information is stored. This insight allows security teams to understand data exposure and risk before applying protection policies or enforcement controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have noticed that the dashboard performance can sometimes be sluggish, with insights taking more time to generate than anticipated. Furthermore, as with many DLP solutions, the platform may generate false positives because of its strict rule-based detection. This can lead to increased alert noise and necessitate extra tuning and operational effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ARC platform has improved with new analysis offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer service for priority issues has fallen off. Difficult to get in touch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cross-platform endpoint coverage, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, is a strong feature.

Additionally, the Network DLP solution is effective for blocking threats from the network side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Firstly, the reporting feature tends to be a bit slow.

Additionally, the cost can be quite high, especially for smaller organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It covers all the endpoint data exposue channel ( web, application, printer/usb...)

It helps tracking end user behaviors or interactions with application so we can build policy to protect data without any insight before that.

The architechture is quite understandable, easy to deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Takes time to learn and get it useful, many knowledge need to be used to control the product (mssql, IIS application...)

Policy creation is way too complicated/ hard to use with the beginner Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. they don't have proper training for customers.

2. Linux supports but again kernel versions are the main dependency.

3. It is difficult to understand the console for new users.

4. there are no exception options in classification policies.

5. implementation is complicated.

5. local support is not helpful and even they don't know the product properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am highly impressed by Fortra's Digital Guardian. The software surpasses expectations in safeguarding our data, offering outstanding security features that ensure the protection of our critical information. Utilizing advanced measures, it successfully thwarts unauthorized access and shields us from potential cyber threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

During the initial usage of Digital Guardian, users may face some challenges. To improve the overall user experience, it would be advantageous to provide clearer instructions, especially for individuals who may not be familiar with technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is one of the easiest to navigate in terms of finding the events and insights you want to find. So many other places showing you things that aren't actionable, and here Fortra is clearly devoting resources not on some fancy framework but rather showing you what a SoC actually uses.

Nothing! Well, the alarm summary could do a bit better with prioritizing alerts vs just displaying all the info DG has collected, but it's still tidy enough to parse out quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
