We performed a comparison between CoSoSys Endpoint Protector and Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the data protection feature. Our users were working on a client's CRM application with a lot of client-related EIA information. We did not want the users to be able to send any of this data outside. I also like its ability to protect against data leaks via emails and social media. I like that you can deploy it quickly, and it requires no training."
"We like that content-aware and device controls can easily be managed. They're not complicated. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand them."
"The device control is a big deal for us because we can actually lock out removable drives and different types of hardware. It allows us to have better control over what end-users plug into their computers, and we can have deny lists and tighten our security posture."
"It is easy to manage the DLP between MacOS and Linux."
"Its robust security audit and compliance functionalities prove especially beneficial for businesses in sectors like BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) and Information Technology."
"There are effectively two areas of DLP to look at from a technical perspective. One is how it performs the pickup of information traversing the system and the other is how the policy engine, which analyzes the data, works. On the first aspect, CoSoSys is probably best of breed for macOS because they're reasonably well-integrated into the operating system. They're looking at the file system operations level, not at the execution level."
"The search for keywords is very important in our security operations because one of the key use cases we had was for the ability to search keyword-based on an internal database of keywords that have been submitted by other project managers within the company that's around intellectual property. The ability to search on keywords was part of that."
"The most valuable features are the ability to prevent access to external devices, and also site blocking."
"After the configuration, it is very stable, and in the last two years, I haven't been faced with many issues or product-related challenges."
"I did not experience any crashes. The solution has been stable in my usage."
"Some good features are basically its UAV Analytics engine. And even fingerprinting is really good in Forcepoint."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"Forcepoint offers many policies that conform to global DLP best practices, including requirements specific to regions like the Middle East, Europe, etc. They have a policy database in their product. That feature is unique to Forcepoint. Their AI and fingerprinting are incredibly effective and robust. We have tested it multiple times. It always catches the correct data being leaked."
"Another valuable feature is that it provides integration to things like Cloud Access Security Broker, which provides security around cloud applications."
"The solution offers very good sensitive data protection."
"We receive a lot of insights from this product."
"Endpoint Protector, in particular, had some features to be desired for the Mac operating system."
"They have many predefined classifiers in terms of data identifiers, and they should improve this."
"Customization could be a lot better."
"We are currently facing an issue where it is blocking the Winman software, which is something that we don't want to happen because we use it in our accounts department to pay taxes."
"The only aspect that prevents it from being a perfect solution is the occasional slower response time."
"The reports and analysis could be improved. There could be a little more data, and the logs could be a little more granular, but it's nothing major. It does what it needs to do, and it's fine."
"I would rate the role-based access features for administrators a six out of ten. There's work to be done on the granularity of roles that can be assigned to an administrator but there is role-based administrator access present. That's why it's not a zero rating."
"I would like to see an alert feature that when a system is started, it checks to make sure that the client has the most up-to-date policies."
"The user-friendliness of the interface in formulating DLP policies could be improved. An example would be managing policies. It's a little daunting at first, and can be confusing, at times, when it comes to how to set things up and how to add policies. They could improve on that."
"The initial setup of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is of medium difficulty level."
"I would like to see the product extended into the cloud as a single solution."
"I am not able to get support directly from Forcepoint."
"The APIs for device integration are limited, so that could be improved."
"We want to be able to do data classification better in the product and reduce false positives, especially on data loss prevention."
"It would be wonderful if the solution could develop more AI and machine learning capabilities. It would also be good if the solution was able to integrate with other ML and AI solutions. Right now, this is lacking."
"I would like to see improvement in the reporting. We can only get one week's worth of data; we can't get more than that. Also, the reporting console is very slow, making it very frustrating to use."
