If you want to extend your Endpoint DLP to cloud: Apps, Web & Email, Then CloudSOC DLP detection Services help you to control with clouds apps & DLP detection Services with WSS help you to control all web. Also, cloud DLP detection services for Email will help you to control visibility & control over Office 365 Exchange, On prem-exchange & Gmail. In the case of other email services- we need to consider other solutions like Forcepoint One.

Untangle
Untangle is very strong in the "traditional" sense of security. That means an edge appliance that either works with an existing router or is the router itself (recommended). This approach has also been adapted well to cloud environments in order to protect virtual servers and VDI workstations. As mentioned earlier, many schools are using cloud-based filtering for their 1:1 solutions for their students. This is an area where Untangle is unable to serve. Some have used an instance of Untangle in the cloud with VPN to serve their remote needs, but it is not the same as solutions that are designed for cloud-based filtering of devices without VPN.

  • Web Filtering is strong, and can also do application fingerprinting to allow Facebook, but not Facebook games. Secondly, a separate partition called a "rack" can be set up to give one subnet or group of users different web filtering policies than another. For example, teachers would get more freedom to browse the web than students at a school.
  • Built-in SD-WAN connectivity as part of your license. IPSEC tunnel creation is also amazingly easy.
  • Will install on any x86 hardware created in the last 5-10 years. Ram and processor requirements per user are very low.
  • Reporting is phenomenal, however you can get death by details very easily.

Cons
Broadcom
  • Broadcom CloudSOC CASB also needs to more focus on data classification, Classification will help to control the false positive & fast negative.
  • Broadcom has more focus on SMB business As SMB & Mid Enterprise is going to be more aware of cyber security especially start-ups.

  • The full suite can be expensive for business but will be powerful enough.
  • The full suite for home or small office isn't that bad of a price but may be out of reach for most home users but remember the basics are FREE so anyone can get started with it.
  • I would like to see it promoted for mid to large businesses as I think it can handle it.

Alternatives Considered
Broadcom
We were using Broadcom Symantec Endpoint security Enterprise, Hybrid subscription services & DLP solution at prem, which helped us in CloudSoC CASB Use Case & we have seen PoC of same, which was easy to integrate with existing security architectures. Overall they have offered us the best commercial in comparison with competitors.

Untangle NG Firewall has a partnership with third parties to provide an amazing suite of applications. You pay for those. With free software, you have to wait for it to be updated. With Unifi, the hardware was too underpowered to do anything meaningful. I don't mind the monthly fees because these companies update quickly; they have a reputation to maintain.
