I've weighted those accordingly. Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd evaluate them:\n\n**1. Microsoft Purview DLP** - if you're a Microsoft 365 shop, start here and probably stop here. It's the best value because it's bundled: you likely already have it. The catch worth knowing before you budget: the features most people actually want - endpoint DLP, richer classification, advanced policy - sit behind E5 or the E5 Compliance add-on, not E3. Coverage is strongest in Exchange/SharePoint/OneDrive/Teams and gets thinner the further you move from Microsoft's estate, though it has recently extended policies to Google Workspace, Box, Dropbox, Salesforce and others.

Google Workspace DLP (Enterprise tiers)** - same logic inverted.
