Endpoint Protector
- +Deploys as a virtual appliance you run yourself — genuine residency control
- +Cross-platform agents for Windows, macOS and Linux, which is unusual in this category
- +Among the fastest platforms here to get to a working policy
- −Content classification is less sophisticated than the enterprise engines
- −Cloud and SaaS channel coverage is limited compared with the SASE vendors
Best for SMB and mid-market needing self-hosted device control and endpoint DLP
Watch out Strong on device control, lighter on deep content inspection — match that to your risk
Proofpoint DLP
- +Strongest email channel coverage in this table, which is where most leaks actually occur
- +Insider threat management correlates user behaviour with data movement
- +Good balance of detection quality and operational simplicity
- −Primarily cloud-delivered — on-premises options are limited
- −Coverage of data at rest in on-premises storage is thinner than the incumbents
Best for Organisations whose primary data loss channel is email and user behaviour
Watch out If you need endpoint and storage DLP as well, this is only part of the picture
