Network/gateway DLP is mostly dead weight. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd evaluate them:\n\n**1. Microsoft Purview DLP** - if you're already on Microsoft 365, start here, full stop. It covers endpoint, Exchange, SharePoint/OneDrive, and Teams with no extra agent to deploy. The catch is real: endpoint DLP and the better classification/policy options sit behind **E5 or the E5 Compliance / Information Protection add-on**, so a lot of teams discover the feature they assumed was included needs an upgrade. Price that out before you fall in love with it. ([licensing guidance](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/guidance/Microsoft-Purview), [licensing gap writeup](https://dope.security/post/microsoft-purview-dlp-alternative-2026))\n\n**2. Google Workspace DLP** - same logic if you're a Google shop: DLP for Drive, Gmail, and Chat is built in on the Enterprise tiers. Weaker on endpoint than Purview, so pair it with something for laptops. (I coul", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
