- Baffle Data Protection
Best for: Cloud teams protecting data in AWS Lambda and serverless workloads
The trade-off is that Baffle is narrower than platforms like DataSunrise or SecuPi. There is no database activity monitoring, no behavioral analytics, no SQL firewall, and no compliance reporting built in. It is an encryption and tokenization solution, and a good one, but you will need other solutions to cover monitoring and detection. The AWS-centric integration footprint also means teams running primarily on Azure or GCP should verify compatibility before assuming full support. For cloud-native teams, particularly those with serverless workloads on AWS, Baffle is worth a close look.

- Protegrity DAIS Platform
Best for: Large enterprises with mainframes, data warehouses, and big data
Protegrity is not sized for SMBs in practice, despite what the company size fit field says. The licensing model and implementation complexity point squarely at large enterprises with dedicated data security teams. If your environment is primarily cloud-native and modern, you may find the platform's breadth is more than you need and the overhead is not worth it. But if you are running a hybrid estate with mainframe workloads and need a single policy framework across all of it, Protegrity is one of the few solutions that can actually deliver that.
