ManageEngine Endpoint DLP Plus vs Microsoft Defender for Business

ManageEngine Endpoint DLP Plus helps IT administrators and security leaders find, monitor, and protect sensitive endpoint data. It scans devices for personal and financial records and classifies information by sensitivity. Policies can be set by user, role, device, or location and deployed across endpoints. The software monitors data movement through USB devices, browsers, cloud apps, and email, and can block unauthorized transfers. File inspection can track sensitive information after files are renamed, compressed, or moved; OCR detects data in images and scans. Listed capabilities also include insider threat controls, cloud protection, email security, device control, false-positive remediation, data containerization, and reports. Email DLP policies cover Outlook desktop, including Outlook 2013, 2019, 2021, and Microsoft 365, but not web-based email clients. Active Directory integration supports domain-based computers and directory resources. The on-premises version keeps customer data in the customer's environment.
