    Email, web browser, and data storage areas will fulfill the security of mobile devices very well. It provides multiple methods of data filtering and classification to ensure important data can be well protected. Unfortunately, it does not support you to make regex-based definitions. for this reason, you need to work on the rules a lot. Another disadvantage is that it cannot monitor Linux systems.

    Tessian Cloud Email Security is well suited for anyone that can afford it. Email is the gateway for the bad guys and having as much security and protection as possible is critical

    • The Outlook Add-In broke several systems during use.
    • There are many changes to the account reps and engineers assigned to us. As a result, we lost touch with Tessian.
    • Lack of knowledge and help from Support during times when the Add-In was disrupting users.

    Pretty straight forward for the users and admins. Some terminology takes a little time to learn for the admin, functionally seems rock solid.

    Symantec DLP works good for our very simple and low complexity use cases and I would highly recommend it for them. However, I can't speak to highly complex or advanced use cases that might arise in certain industries like finance. I would recommend that if you are seeking an Enterprise DLP solution that you absolutely must explore this product as one of the leaders in the space - not doing so would be negligent in my opinion.

    Symantec DLP is the best. Put it in a head to head competition and it will win. However it can be a bit more expensive than other products so don't compare on price, compare on quality of product.

    Egress is a very capable product, likely on-par with Tessian as a fraction of the cost. I will be giving them a deep review this year
