Here's who I'd name, in order:\n\n**1. Microsoft Purview DLP - if you're already on Microsoft 365.** The default answer for most companies. Policies for Exchange/SharePoint/OneDrive come with E3; Teams messages and *endpoint* DLP (Windows + macOS) need E5-tier or the Information Protection & Governance add-on. That licensing cliff is the catch - E5 is ~$57/user/mo, or ~$12/user/mo as the E5 Compliance add-on on top of E3. Weak outside the Microsoft estate. ([forcepoint.com](https://www.forcepoint.com/blog/insights/best-dlp-software-2025), [nightfall.ai](https://www.nightfall.ai/blog/microsoft-purview-pricing))\n\n**2. Google Workspace DLP - if you're a Google shop.** Same logic: built into Enterprise tiers for Drive/Gmail/Chat, zero extra agents. Note it does *not* cover endpoints - you'll still want something local if USB/screenshot/local-file exfil is in scope.\n\n**3. Netskope One DLP - best fit for \"no office, everything is SaaS", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
