No other product will give you the same visibility and data classification functions as this tool
Forcepoint enables you to clarify aspects of your data, including which data to protect for how long, what priority to assign to the data and the destinations. It's a comprehensive, dedicated solution. The interface is user-friendly and easy to manage. No other product will give you the same visibility and data classification functions as this tool. You install the agent to your endpoint, and the end user needs to label the data as confidential, private, internal, etc. After you label the document, you can confirm the confidentiality and go to the DLP to make a new policy to block the specified destination addresses at the Forcepoint level, such as network, email, RDP, etc. Forcepoint uses machine learning and AI file or database fingerprinting. This can give you an early chance to prevent incidents fast. File fingerprinting gives you 100 percent accurate DLP results.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's configuration phase is easy."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"The initial setup process went well."
"Regardless of the size of your company, this solution can be scaled accurately."
"A very user-friendly predefining feature."
"The product is good and reliable. The vendor company is continually improving it and they seem to stay one step ahead."

"The most valuable feature of SearchInform DLP is the analytics tool."
 

Cons

"They can improve a bit in the OCR category. The OCR deployment could be simplified. Right now, you have to set up a separate server to manage all the data going through the network, especially the images. Forcepoint could better integrate the OCR component with central management."
"The deployment can be difficult."
"We faced some issues with the endpoint installation of the agent as it is not from a common ground."
"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."
"It should integrate better with email."
"The solution's interface is still not user-friendly for some customers. So, its interface can be better."
"The support could improve Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention."
"The solution lacks sufficient customization."
"There is room for improvement in terms of implementing a more solid development process, aligning with modern product standards, and upgrading the quality assurance procedures."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not the cheapest solution but it's not the most expensive. It's a good price for a good product."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is fine."
"The licensing is on an annual basis."
"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."
"I prefer Forceoint because it is cheaper than Symantec."
"There is an annual subscription model and the amount depends on the type of implementation."
"Its pricing is quite low considering the features they are offering. As compared to other solutions, it is reasonable. They do have professional support. If we need professional support, then there will be additional costs."
