Kitecyber DLP vs ManageEngine Endpoint DLP Plus

Kitecyber DLP, built around Data Shield, classifies and tracks sensitive information and can stop it leaving endpoints, web activity, and SaaS applications. Endpoint DLP discovers and classifies data, controls USB devices and external drives, and alerts on sensitive copy-and-paste actions. Data lineage tracking and exfiltration alerts show where sensitive information moves. Network DLP monitors activity, warns about sensitive uploads and downloads, and includes SWG functionality. Controls can block transfers to unsanctioned SaaS and Gen AI applications. Kitecyber describes one lightweight endpoint agent without cloud gateways. Pro includes discovery, device controls, lineage, alerts, and Network DLP. Enterprise adds compliance reporting and automation for SOC 2, ISO, PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR, plus a four-hour connectivity-support SLA. Pro costs $144.00 per user per year when billed annually; Enterprise costs $180.00 per user per year. The service runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with cloud deployment.
