The Truth in Details
4 Key Areas Where AWS Comprehend Lags Behind
Take a quick look at the key shortcomings of AWS Comprehend that make Protecto a better choice:
Limited Data Safety Options
AWS Comprehend uses standard models that miss your unique data needs. Protecto employs custom rules for better coverage.
Extra Work for Custom Needs
AWS Comprehend needs extra work to add custom checks. Protecto includes them by default.
No Enterprise-Grade Features
AWS Comprehend misses policy-based masking, multi-tenancy, and bulk processing. Protecto is built for large organizations.
Weak in Scaling and Reporting
AWS Comprehend lacks async calls, auto-scaling, and detailed audit logs. Protecto covers these needs with ease.
