AtulVats - PeerSpot reviewer
Complete end-to-end security with better support than its competitors
The post-optical character recognization feature could be improved because it only really works on documents with some length (at least three paragraphs). If someone has copied half a paragraph or half the content from a webpage, it doesn't work. In the next release, Forcepoint should include DLP, antivirus, and encryption in the same solution, which would resolve many of the IT problems we face.
Siti Aisyah Zainal - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The product is good and reliable. The vendor company is continually improving it and they seem to stay one step ahead."
"The feature I found most valuable is the DLP. We are using it to do encryptions."
"Technical support has been helpful."
"The integration is great."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it captures where the data is being moved."
"The tool is fine for the DLP features, especially when you are on an on-premises model with a data center."
"It's fast and it prepares loss reports."
"The fingerprinting technology is the solution's most valuable feature. It's unique to Forcepoint."
"The most valuable feature of SearchInform DLP is the analytics tool."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to integrate data classification."
"When you automatically try to upgrade the agent it causes problems."
"The support could improve Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention."
"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 reporting features, the real-time reporting, can be improved in Forcepoint. On the dashboard, we don't have a feature that shows real-time incidents. We have to schedule a report in the environment."
"The initial setup of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is of medium difficulty level."
"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."
"The main challenge is the solution's high cost. Additionally, there is no discount for bulk purchases, making it difficult to get budget approvals."
"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

"Pricing for this solution could be better."
"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 solution is expensive."
"This solution is quite expensive."
"The pricing for Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is more expensive than Symantec, but it's negotiable. It depends on how well you negotiate. The solution is worth the money, though, based on the services and facilities it provides to my company."
"I prefer Forceoint because it is cheaper than Symantec."
"The pricing and licensing fees could be improved."
"The pricing is fine."
