BigID review and pricing

Data-discovery-led DLP with PII + PCI + regulated-data inventory.

By BigID · Founded 2016 · New York, NY · private

BigID launched 2016 (founder Dimitri Sirota) and closed a $200M Series E Apr 2023 at $1.2B+ valuation led by Riverwood Capital. The platform serves data-discovery-led DLP: discover sensitive data across the estate, classify it, build inventories, then integrate with downstream DLP enforcement. Wins on data-discovery depth, PII + PCI + regulated-data inventory, and integrations with downstream DLP platforms. Loses on standalone DLP enforcement and traditional content-inspection workflows.

Best for

Mid-market and enterprise wanting data-discovery-first approach with downstream DLP integration.

Worst for

Pure DLP-enforcement buyers (Forcepoint + Symantec + Microsoft Purview fit better).

Vendor Trust is scored independently of product quality. A great product from an unfair vendor still earns a low trust score.
