CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise teams that treat file sharing as a compliance and audit problem, not just a convenience layer, will get the most from Progress ShareFile. Its granular permission controls, automated threat remediation, and detailed audit trails address the PR.AA and DE.CM functions that auditors actually ask about, and the AI-driven share recommendations remove the guesswork from who can access what. Skip this if your priority is replacing email encryption entirely; ShareFile bolts onto existing workflows rather than replacing them.
Mid-market and enterprise security teams with mature email and cloud environments should prioritize Proofpoint Enterprise DLP for its behavioral AI that catches insider threats during exfiltration, not just at the gateway. The integration of insider threat management and continuous monitoring across email, cloud, and endpoints addresses both accidental leaks and malicious data movement, covering NIST DE.CM and PR.DS effectively. Skip this if your organization relies heavily on unmanaged SaaS apps outside Microsoft 365 or needs deep DSPM capabilities; Proofpoint's strength is enforcement, not discovery of shadow data.
