What are your experiences with DSPM vendors in production?

I've been using Cyberhaven for about eight months now. We initially rolled it out for cloud storage and our top five SaaS applications, then gradually expanded the scope. What really helped was identifying which data stores were linked to risky behaviors (like data being moved to AI tools). Many DSPM tools only provide inventory listings, but Cyberhaven showed us what data was actively moving and where. Keep in mind though, we did face some challenges like tuning our initial policies and setting up connectors. Fortunately, the classification accuracy improved as it learned our data patterns.

A lot of DSPM tools might seem similar at first glance, so I'd recommend evaluating them based on practical factors like how quickly they onboard your main data sources, the quality of their classification right out of the box, and if their findings lead to real remediation actions—like assigning ownership or changing permissions, instead of just showing you inventory. Cyera is one vendor that's frequently mentioned on DSPM shortlists, and I'd love to hear how it stacks up in terms of coverage and integrations with workflows.
