Choosing well
Check platform and deployment
Platform options in this category include web, Windows, Linux, macOS, self-hosted and API access. Check the product details for the environment you plan to use and confirm Android support when working from a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO device.

Check the stated paid-from price where available, and note trial periods such as 30-day or 90-day offers. Products with pricing on request need a quote before you can compare total cost.
Match the analysis functions
Compare sensitive-data scanning and file-classification support with the types of files and risks you need to review. Duplicate detection can help identify repeated content.
Review the remediation actions offered so you know what the software can do after it finds an issue.
Plan API access
API access is a comparison field for this category. Check whether the API fits your existing tools, scripts or reporting process before choosing a product.
If you need source access, review the licence and whether the project is open source.
