    It is well-suited where you have access to manage your business's own domain settings. It is well-suited to medical professionals requiring send/receive email encryption of PHI/PII in compliance with HIPAA. It is less well-suited to solo users than group users, due to Paubox's requirement to buy licenses in sets of 3 (requiring you to pay $120x3=$360 yearly for 3 licenses, even if you only need 1 license).

    Pros
    Fortra
    • 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.

    • Only drawback was the actual setup in Outlook was a little tricky. I called support and they made it easy.

    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.

    Paubox is much easier to use than other software we have tried. Once it's installed, we almost forget about it.

    Paubox
    • Paubox provided a plug-n-play solution, requiring no extra development, so the switchover cost was very low.
    • By integrating with our existing support system, Paubox added no overhead to our customer support.
    • The user experience is great for the vast majority of our customers (those whose email provider supports TTL encryption), so customer satisfaction remains high.
