The solution excels in real-time file auditing and privileged user monitoring on Windows file servers (FRS/DFS) and NetApp ONTAP, but its cloud capabilities (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace) are less mature than pure-cloud DLP competitors like Microsoft Purview or Symantec DLP. 2. Core Components & Features | Module | Primary Function | Supported Environments | |--------|----------------|------------------------| | File Audit | Real-time tracking of file creation, modification, rename, move, copy, permission changes, and deletion | Windows Server (2008–2022), NetApp (7-mode, Cluster), EMC Isilon, Synology | | Data Loss Prevention (DLP) | Content-based rule engine to block/alert on sensitive data transfer (PII, PHI, financial data) via email, USB, network shares, or printing | Windows endpoints, file servers | | Sensitive Data Discovery | Scan idle data at rest for PII, PCI, PHI, and custom patterns. Generate compliance reports (GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, CCPA) | File servers, NAS, SharePoint (on-prem) | | Storage Analysis | Identify stale files, duplicate data, and quota usage. Automate archiving and cleanup | Same as file audit | | Public Cloud Audit | Audit file activities in Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams) and Google Workspace Drive | M365, Google Workspace |
Low for on-prem file security; moderate for cloud-only deployments due to reactive rather than preventive controls. This report is based on product documentation, user reviews (Gartner Peer Insights, G2), and feature comparison as of April 2026. No hands-on testing was performed.
