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.

DLP great for encryptions; tech support is quite helpful
My opinion is that the dashboard could be improved and made more user-friendly. They do not enable a wide range of proper inquiries and we need to identify much of what we need on our own, like incident severity. In the next release, I'd like to see the updates working properly as the priority apps we have are not upgrading the agent that we have installed.

Offers detailed features that can greatly assist in DLP systems
My advice for people considering using SearchInform DLP is to recognize its potential to benefit both you and your clients. It offers detailed features that can greatly assist in DLP systems, and by exploring these capabilities, you can better serve your clients. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very user-friendly."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."
"I rate its stability a ten out of ten."
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"Cloudflare is a security SaaS provider that provides security and protects us from any application layer attack."
"It was mostly stable."
"The most valuable feature is the endpoint DLP. It's specific to copying to the USB or copying to the internal storage in our office."
"We receive a lot of insights from this product."
"Forcepoint's data visibility is the most valuable feature."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"I like that you can quickly create policies and enforce them in a matter of minutes."
"Has multiple modules and is good with integration."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it captures where the data is being moved."
"The most valuable feature of SearchInform DLP is the analytics tool."
 

Cons

"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"It should confirm audit findings of the assigned area with auditees to ensure that the audit conclusions are based on an accurate understanding of the issues."
"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."
"We have noticed multiple instances where Cloudflare falsely indicates that our servers are down, even when there is no actual load on them. This makes it challenging for us to identify the exact issue."
"The solution could work at being less expensive. It costs a lot to use it."
"I believe they currently have this feature, but there will most likely be integration with APIs so we can control some features through API."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"I'd like the data classification to be better."
"Their discovery or the way they discover the data at risk can also be improved. There are many database servers that are not supported by Forcepoint."
"Feature requests do take some time to implement."
"In terms of display, the support and the Mac platform requires a lot of improvement."
"There is no support for the Bangla (Bengali) language, so we cannot use the Forcepoint technology for Bangla documents."
"With respect to the discovery component, the reports are very hard to interpret because they come out in an illogical format."
"There's zero Forcepoint presence in West Africa. Customers typically like having these things close to them. It would help if they had a presence here. Right now, Forcepoint West Africa has been administered from South Africa. Because of this, customers can't access premium support in our region."
"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

"I give the price a five out of ten."
"For Cloudflare, I recommend it heavily for small businesses with revenue under a couple of million dollars. Onboarding is easy, and they even have a free plan. This makes it simple for businesses in the $100,000-$500,000 range to try it out and see its value, allowing them to scale up their infrastructure as needed."
"We don't have any issues with the price."
"So far I use free tier and happy with it. You can subscribe to business package if needed."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"I think the pricing is competitive. I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"A free version of the solution is available."
"The pricing and licensing fees could be improved."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"Forcepoint has been very cost-effective because they gave us a good deal while procuring the DLP solution."
"The licensing of Forcepoint is quite straightforward. It's based on the number of users. The support fees are a separate cost."
"The solution is expensive."
"One feature that I'm getting ready to take advantage of more is the ability to add more data crawlers to the DLP on-prem environment, without any extra Forcepoint costs or licensing needed for that additional data server. That will help in reducing the stress on the data server that we're using now."
"The licensing is on an annual basis."
"I prefer Forceoint because it is cheaper than Symantec."
