    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.

    The implementation of their services is fairly simple and their engineers will assist in any issues that arise when you attempt to get the solutions implemented. One scenario we experienced in implementation is a server was not able to be backed up. The engineer logged onto our system on a remote support session and helped to diagnose why we were experiencing the issue. They ensured we were up and running again in a timely manner to remain covered on our backed up services.

    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.

    • My CFO seemed to have lost a whole year of important emails. I simply restored them to his mailbox in a matter of minutes.
    • An employee left the company but an issue came up with a quote this person sent out. I could search his mailbox and got the quote as well as all communications from that customer.
    • It is nice to be able to search emails in various mailboxes without disturbing the user.
    • It is also nice to go back in time. Say they deleted those emails last month I can go back years if needed.

    • Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 isn't 'multi geo' aware - this means we have to manually select resources to back up depending on their geo-location.
    • Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 doesn't backup Private Channels users create in a Team - there are workarounds for this but it would be nice if this just worked.

    Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 just works so well and is so easy to use. I researched multiple options for Office 365 backup and none seemed to be as easy to setup and use as Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and the pricing was very comfortable to us. I can't imagine any reason why we would change away from Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.

    While the product is rock-solid and only has errors when Microsoft changes things on their API side, the solution is at times too simplistic. The need to analyze and report on the data being stored is lackluster. The functionality and use of the product is a 10, but the niceties and features you would want in a product of this caliber are lacking.

    We have a lot of data, and pulling backups out of the store sometimes takes a bit of time - but this is within acceptable tolerances. I don't expect restores to be instantaneous, and I can't quantify if the speed is software or data repository.

    Veeam Data Cloud support for Microsoft 365 is excellent (just like for Veeam Backup & Replication). It's easy to create a ticket in the support portal, and the support engineers respond quickly and accurately, usually within a few hours! Issues are resolved and/or investigated quickly.

    Would have marked a 10 but the storage in AWS was very complicated. Would be nice to have more help/guidance connecting to external storage.

    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 Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 offered a straightforward, upfront billing model with no hidden storage fees.In contrast, Rubrik’s proposal emphasized enterprise-grade features like air-gapped backups, sensitive data monitoring, and zero-trust architecture—but came with a higher initial investment as well as higher recurring costs. Simplicity and Microsoft 365 Focus Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365’s solution was purpose-built for Microsoft 365, offering granular recovery, seamless integration, and a user-friendly interface

    • The only real impact is from a compliance standpoint. Our company is expected at a regulatory level to be protecting our data and even though the tenant has little traffic there could still be some regulated data in there. We have to be able to tell an auditor that it's being backed up by an enterprise grade solution, and that's what VDC was intended for.
