Digital Guardian vs. Keepit

Digital Guardian has excellent data-preventing solutions, which locate and protect [that] database that [is] super sensitive. More so, Digital Guardian offers complete coverage of endpoint safety and network monitoring. Again, Digital Guardian has a team of elite professionals, who screens and detect any cyber threats. Finally, Digital Guardian has improvised and detailed attack response, very efficient in making the right controls.

No need for level 3 backup engineers, with common sense the platform is useable for level 1-3. Keepit takes care of the hassle, no sizing of storage, complicated connectors, or whatever. Point and back up and let it do its job.

• Email data leaks - DLP software must prevent certain actions to work well. Let's say you try to copy and paste an SS # to an email, or upload sensitive data to your personal email account. Guardian Edge can prevent that, and then alert administrators that it happened
• Unauthorized file copies - Guardian Edge can also prevent users from copying files from a sensitive restricted area to somewhere else where they might be able to more easily exfiltrate it. A good example would be from a company file share to a less secure server or their own home drive
• Alerting Administrators of suspicious activities - Any time a user uploads a file to an upload service or personal email, it is logged and reported as an event to be reviewed. If it found nothing in scanning the data, it will still notify you that it happened so you can review it yourself to confirm it wasn't a false negative.

• The initial setup is easy and straightforward.
• The GUI is very easy to use and you can select and restore the data you need very fast.
• The restoration of data is very fast.
• The support team is very helpful in case any problems arise.

• Digital Guardian is perfect in database protection, hence, no complaint.
• Digital Guardian makes the detection process effective, hence, reliable.
• Finally, Digital Guardian is cloud focused or delivered, hence, concrete and efficient.

• Providing more information on an ongoing restore job. Once you begin a restore or a data import, it seems to be impossible to see which user account that job is tied to.
• Its job percentages seem to be drastically inaccurate. It will say a job is 76% complete even though it has only restored 484MB of 8GB - but this is just a little annoying and not a real problem.

until now, we are not planning to change to another product. the Office365 new inbuild data backup does not reach the capability of keepit so far.

Pretty easy to use and setup the backup. For restore there are some limitations and maybe sometimes its not clear how the result will look like in case of folder structure in exchange, especially when merging mailboxes.

Support helped us to set up SSO and MFA with our Azure AD Accounts. Once when the backup was failing, they could help us to investigate the reason and find a stale account that was preventing the backup. They are really concerned that the backup works and not only want to close the ticket like other support hotlines.

DG is the only DLP platform I've used at my current employer. I used it at my previous employer as well, and we ended up abandoning future deployments of it due to many problems caused by it, especially with web browsers. This was in 2015, rather than the 2018 version I used with my current employer, but I feel it still warrants mentioning. DG works great...when it works. When it doesn't, it's a disaster.

Veeam is our current backup supplier for on-prem infrastructure, whilst we are aiming to reduce and move fully cloud in the next 12 months, we anticipate a bigger investment in keepit as this is more favorable for us.

• Cloud coverage allows easy deployment and efficient systematic controls.
• Lastly, Digital Guardian [values] and monitors the procedures or the roles that every player makes in the company.

• User productivity increase when the users didn't need to manually recreate data when it was lost. Estimation of past cases: 100,000 $ per year
• Company blackout on disasters: pricelessly :-)
• Admin cost reduction, no more tape changes and storage costs: 10,000 $ per year
