I think there is a lot of value in these tools for the enterprise. Even if it is just CYA insurance. If somebody steals data but you have a DLP tool you can just blame the vendor. My biggest issue with the tools is they have an insanely deleterious impact on performance and the harsh scrutiny applied has a chilling effect on employees. It turns people into drones that do not dare step outside the norm.

This is just about the main thing that bugs me with this kind of tool: sure you can blame the vendor, but the data is still stolen. And companies are happy to have checked that box and won't bother implementing actually useful policies.
