Helps to manage data and secures configuration
We use Amazon Macie to manage data.  The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe.  I have been using the product for three years.  The tool's deployment is easy.  Amazon Macie is worth its money.  I rate the tool an eight out of ten.  Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Designed to monitor and control data and has robust protection
If Palo Alto Networks introduces endpoint DLP, it will significantly improve. Palo Alto already has its own Cortex platform. Integrating DLP functionality within the Cortex agent or even providing it as a separate agent and solution would be beneficial. Currently, Palo Alto has all the necessary mechanisms for DLP. It would be advantageous if they integrate these mechanisms into a single, lightweight agent. Many existing solutions in the market have heavy agents, which can deter organizations from implementing them. However, if Palo Alto offers a streamlined agent, it will make a comprehensive DLP solution more attractive and feasible for users.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe."
"The tool's performance is good."
"It is a stable solution with good support."
"The setup is very easy as we just need to switch on and switch off."
"Our clients primarily deploy Palo Alto Networks Enterprise DLP to control the flow of information in and out of their networks. The main use cases include monitoring and managing sensitive data such as credit card information and personally identifiable information."
"It is highly scalable, allowing for an increasing number of users."
"Another important feature is that the solution doesn't require any additional infrastructure to implement. It's a software license that is compatible with our existing hardware. We were able to install and configure the product seamlessly and effortlessly."
 

Cons

"Amazon Macie is expensive."
"You need to have an external solution to backup everything. For example, you need to have Syslog installed on your server as well so that you can back it up to another place."
"It has heavy agents."
"There is room for improvement in the documentation around the maintenance of the product, how the automatic updates work, and pushing out new policies. A little more detail and context in that area would be helpful."
"The solution needs improvement in stability. There has been feedback regarding the accuracy of file categorization."
"Its scalability is not on par with the features of others."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You need to pay per usage."
"Palo Alto Networks Enterprise Data Loss Prevention is expensive, and licensing costs are monthly."
"It's expensive."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the buyers. But, from my point of view, it is in line with the rest of the products and the price list of Palo Alto."
"The licensing model is very fair-minded and it's a good value. It scales well... Its licensing model is more streamlined when compared to other DLP solutions."
