So I'm weighting my own read of the product categories over the rankings.\n\nFor remote teams, the right answer depends almost entirely on where your data actually lives. Here's how I'd order it:\n\n**1. Microsoft Purview DLP** - If you're on Microsoft 365, start here and probably stop here. Policies span Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Office apps, and Windows/macOS endpoints, and it's bundled into E5 (or available as an add-on), so the marginal cost is often zero. The real weakness is non-Microsoft SaaS, which needs Defender for Cloud Apps connectors and extra configuration. Don't buy a third-party DLP before you've checked what you're already paying for.\n\n**2. Google Workspace DLP** - Same logic in reverse. If you're a Google shop, native DLP for Drive, Gmail, and Chat is included at Enterprise tiers and covers the common leak paths without another agent on every laptop.\n\n**3. Nightfall AI** - Best pick when your sensitive data sits in SaaS and AI tools rather than on laptops: Slack, Google Drive", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
