It's easy to set up because you point the DNS to it, and it's working in under 15 minutes
Cloudflare is highly scalable. Cloudflare is a system with a web portal that the end users like me see. It's a console where we can adjust the DNS, caching, and security features all in that console. Cloudflare owns thousands of servers across the world that cache the data. It's a powerful solution. When clients sign up for Cloudflare, they're getting this monster content delivery network, security, and a web application firewall in one. It's all rolled into one, and it's massive. Unless you have your website hosted on a massive hosting provider, there's no way that you can deliver the amount of data that Cloudflare can provide to the end users. If you have static content, there's no way that you can ever match what Cloudflare can do. Obviously, there are competitors to Cloudflare that do the same, but I'm saying other types of solutions. Let's say you go with F5. Great, that's on-prem. That's in your colo. You can't deliver as much data to the internet as you can with a CDN. You don't have to spend $20,000 on a net scaler, F5, or whatever Cisco's selling now. You don't have to buy that. You pay them $50 a month or $150 a month. It's totally worth it because even in five years, you'll never get the performance value, not just the actual ROI. You have to consider how much throughput you can get with Cloudflare.

Provides excellent endpoint security in a feature-rich, lightweight, handy, and easy-to-deploy tool
The deployment is straightforward once you understand the solution's architecture. A proper understanding of the different components of Forcepoint DLP is essential, as deploying an enterprise-level DLP could be confusing because the policy server is separate from the main engine sitting on the Triton server. Understanding the components of the enterprise DLP suite is the most critical element for a successful deployment. Still, I rate the solution seven out of ten in terms of ease of setup. The scale of the particular DLP deployment is also a factor; we had cases where the customer only required endpoint or network DLP, a relatively quick job that two staff can complete. A complete DLP suite, including email, web, and network DLP, plus data classification and labelling, would require four associates. Our most recent deployment was a complete enterprise DLP, which required four staff. The entire deployment took almost three months, including a one-month planning phase. During the planning phase, we prepared the documentation, designed the HLDs and LLDs, and high and low-level diagrams. Following acceptance from the customer, we started the implementation, which took roughly 50 to 60 days. The level of maintenance required depends on how many events per hour a particular tool is putting out. If a customer wants to check analytics or identify an email or data leak, that situation doesn't require much policy fine-tuning, and a single staff member could deal with it. The customer can also decide what coverage they want, which may be 24/7, an admin to monitor events only, or Monday-to-Friday support. The coverage determines how many engineers will be required. Another factor in maintenance requirements is the volume of events, as an extensive client could have more than 10,000 servers with many sensitive data in motion. The customer had 24,000 users for our last deployment, and there wasn't a dedicated team for the DLP. The engineering team took care of the network, endpoint, and data security together. There were ten of us on the team, with two engineers per shift for 24/7 coverage.

Comes with data leak protection features but technical support is too slow
We use the solution for endpoints.  The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection.  Safetica ONE's technical support is too slow.  I have been using the product for six months.  I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.  I rate Safetica ONE's scalability a five out of…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"The web application firewall brought us good security and a view of the accesses/blocks of the entire domain and subdomain that were accessed both by region (country) and IPs."
"New and innovative way to protect the client's data."
"It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a ten out of ten...I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"When using services like Heroku, Cloudflare is very useful for CNAME flattening. I also use it for their end-to-end SSL with TLS authentication on nginx for securing servers."
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"I like Cloudflare's application gateway and DDoS protection."
"The solution automatically detects and responds to certain types of traffic based on geolocation."
"Forcepoint's data visibility is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"The real-time analytics feature is helpful. It alerts within seconds and promptly informs management of any potential security issues."
"I like that you can quickly create policies and enforce them in a matter of minutes."
"It was mostly stable."
"The technical support for the solution is very good."
"Our organization's intellectual property is not misused or extracted without permission."
"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."
"The most valuable feature is the data classification."
"Safetica ONE is easy to use and set up. We can set up rules and policies quickly."
"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."
"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."
"The current version of the solution is stable...It is easy to scale the solution."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
 

Cons

"For large enterprises, the pricing is okay. However, the enterprise price for small projects is a bit high. A mid-tier pricing option would be beneficial."
"The documentation could improve for Cloudflare DNS."
"There could be more courses with engineers. I like e-learning, however, having a specialist in a classroom is more comfortable for me."
"The timing aspect can lead to it being considered overpriced. This is a particular concern we have with Cloudflare, as they may struggle with accurately detecting the client."
"It should be easier to collect the logs with companies like Sumo. However, based on my discussions with the salespeople, I understand that's how they make their money. With the enterprise product, they want people doing those kinds of enterprise features to do the logging. They want them to pay a lot of money, and that's where I have an issue with them. That should be a default. You should be able to get the log no matter what. The logging should be universal."
"Cloudflare could be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option."
"Cloudflare could offer a better view or maybe dashboards of the main resources used in the client."
"We are a product integrator and reseller, and we would like to have a better partner relationship, similar to a channel sales relationship. Sometimes we are on our own or get diverted by Cloudflare because they have direct sales, which competes with us and makes it difficult to build a relationship with this company since we want to be an MSP or a managed service provider for the solution."
"The setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"I can't push a report by a certain organizational entity or unit without a lot of work. The reporting could be better."
"There is room for improvement regarding OCR. I would like to see it enhanced to handle multiple languages and it should be easier to manage."
"The post-optical character recognization feature could be improved because it only really works on documents with some length (at least three paragraphs)."
"The solution's interface is still not user-friendly for some customers. So, its interface can be better."
"Overall, Forcepoint support is not very good."
"The product is good, but the biggest issue is needing direct support from Forcepoint."
"The ease of deployment wasn't as flexible as Digital Guardian."
"The product needs to improve support."
"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."
"This solution could be improved if it was available on Linux as well. Currently it can only be deployed on Mac and Windows."
"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"Safetica One has every other thing that you need, so I cannot give Safetica NXT a higher mark because it does not have the full features of the enterprise solutions."
"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."
"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive."
"We don't have any issues with the price."
"That is one of the great features. I was able to access the majority of the features and services for free."
"The price is reasonable."

"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."

"This solution is quite expensive."
"The pricing is fine."
"Pricing for this solution could be better."
"Forcepoint DLP is a bit expensive."
"They are flexible regarding the pricing and they have a good model for an OEM data classification tool... Forcepoint has been one of the most competitively priced products over the last few years."
"The pricing is reasonable. That's why we went with Forcepoint. They were pretty competitive."
"Forcepoint offers a more cost-effective solution because everything, including OCR, is included in one package, unlike Symantec, where it is an add-on with an additional cost."
"Safetica ONE is expensive."
"The pricing for ESET Safetica is less as compared to other solutions. The customers have to pay only for the license."
"The licensing cost for this solution depends on the deal size and your use case. In our instance, it costs $35 per user per year. This is a reasonable price."
"Customers need to pay for a yearly license per device."
