Digital Guardian
- +Tracks data lineage at the endpoint, so it can follow a file through copies and renames
- +Available as on-premises, hosted or managed service
- +Particularly strong for intellectual property protection rather than only regulated data
- −Agent footprint and tuning effort are heavier than most alternatives here
- −Pricing sits at the enterprise end, and the managed option adds materially to it
Best for Manufacturers and research organisations protecting intellectual property
Watch out Pilot the agent on real workloads before rollout — performance is the usual complaint
GTB Technologies
- +Full on-premises deployment including air-gapped environments
- +Inspects encrypted traffic at the network layer, which several competitors do not
- +Covers endpoint, network and discovery from one platform
- −Interface and reporting are dated compared with the newer vendors here
- −Much smaller company, with correspondingly limited regional presence
Best for Regulated or isolated environments where cloud inspection is not permitted
