- Trellix Database Security
Best for: Older databases that can no longer be patched
It earns its place on virtual patching, which buys you time on databases you cannot patch or take offline. That fits mid-market and enterprise teams running older systems next to newer ones. Ask how its cloud coverage compares with its on-premises list, because the cloud side is limited to Amazon RDS.

Best for: Organizations that want discovery, access intelligence, and automated remediation in one platform
It integrates with Microsoft 365, Microsoft Purview (applying labels and enforcing DLP policy), AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, and Salesforce Agentforce, which makes it one of the few products here that explicitly governs what AI assistants can reach. Hybrid deployment, SMB through enterprise.
