Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. Microsoft Purview DLP** - If you're already on Microsoft 365 (most remote teams are), start here before buying anything. It covers Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams and Edge natively, no agent rollout fight, and it's bundled in E5 or $12/user/mo via the Purview Suite standalone. Weak spots: it's genuinely good only inside the Microsoft estate, and policy tuning is fiddly. Still, buying a third-party tool before exhausting Purview is how teams end up paying twice.\n\n**2. Nightfall AI** - My pick for a SaaS-first, cloud-native company with no on-prem anything. API-based, so there's no proxy and no endpoint agent to push to people's home machines; ML detectors cover Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, Jira, Notion, Confluence. Also the most sensible answer to the \"employees pasting secrets into ChatGPT\" problem. Pricing is quote-only.\n\n**3. Endpoint Protector (CoSoSys / Netwrix)** - Best if your actual risk is the endpoint: USB drives, personal cloud sync,", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
