What is Fortra DLP?

Comprehensive Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Rapid Deployment and Results. Unique among DLP solutions in its ability to support both a “top-down,” use case-based approach (focused on known data types or user groups) or a “bottom-up,” data risk discovery approach. Our “bottom-up” approach enables you to gain visibility even before you create policies by showing you where sensitive data is located, how it flows in the organization, and where it is put at risk.

What differentiates Fortra DLP from other similar products?

Digital Guardian DLP provides complete Control and visibility of what actions are currently performed on your endpoint over other similar products like forcepoint. Also, Digital Guardian DLP is highly scalable. It is excellent in the core job of protecting the data. It enables encryption so that the data saved is safe and can be retrieved easily when needed.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Digital Guardian Data loss prevention has a very good GUI and the ability to provide a high level of granularity for monitoring and analyzing data in order to detect any violations of our security regulations.

What do you dislike most about this product?

At the beginning setup whole solution is very complex. When you do not see the expected outcomes and you start troubleshooting you will find it very confusing. After installing your computer might slow down. Also, the service support is not that good.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

To protect sensitive data, we deploy Digital Guardian on all of our virtual machines, as well as all of our laptops and PCs. It has assisted us in identifying data breaches and illegal file copies throughout the organization. You can consider it to protect your data.

What differentiates Fortra DLP from other similar products?

The finest part is that data is being collected by installing an Agent onto an Endpoint while it is running in the kernel to properly safeguard data from both internal and external assaults.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The TAM offering and customer service from Digital Guardian are by far its top features in my experience.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Too many logs might cause unexpected application crashes and take a long time to process. Rest, No complaints.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The sensitive data is monitored, found, and blocked by Digital Guardian. Giving users more control over data visibility, IP protection, and personal information protection. Because of these features, one should think about adopting it.
