Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention Reviews

We mainly use this solution for data protection and access to our critical company information.  

I do not think I should name a specific feature that is the most valuable because it is a product we are using as a unified solution and that is very important because it is one of the leaders in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. So there is not a specific feature that is more important than the whole of it together.  

The product is actually quite a good and reliable product and I don't know what to suggest because we are quite satisfied with it. So I would not want to name something that could be improved because it is a product that the vendor company is continually improving and upgrading on their own. The new features that they add in are quite satisfying for our needs. They seem to stay one step ahead.  

There are customers that are moving from Fortinet or Cisco to Forcepoint. I think that is mainly because it is coming from military technology, from Raytheon (defense contracting), so it is quite well rated even though it has not been around for a long time.  

In the next release of Forcepoint DLP, I don't really think that there a lot of things that I would need. I guess that there is always a way to improve the experience surrounding the user interface.  

We have been using this solution for about two years now.  

The product is very stable.  

It is very easy to scale this product because it is made to be used by big enterprises and also fleet management sites all over the world. We have about 100 users who are working with the solution within our company. They are normal end-users, not administrators, and the product is installed on each computer. We only require one person on staff for deployment and maintenance. It is actually less than one person. But it is one person dedicated to the task of supporting the product.  

We have had the opportunity to use their technical support. They were very prompt and very good about getting us what we needed. They are very skilled and we were satisfied with their work.  

We did not use another solution previously before using Forcepoint DLP.  

The setup for the product is quite straightforward. It takes maybe 10 or 15 minutes to be installed before it is ready to be used. For the integration, it took maybe one day. In all, it was very fast.  

We did the deployment of the solution with the help of our own team. I was not directly involved.  

The cost for the product for us is less than $10 per user. We do not pay any additional costs for technical support. Everything is included.  

Before choosing Forcepoint DLP we did evaluate other options in the product category like from CA Technologies (Computer Associates, acquired by Broadcom, Inc.). We also considered a DLP product by Symantec.  

Advice that I would give to someone looking into implementing Forcepoint DLP is to take care and compare it to other solutions. Other solutions may have a more established reputation because Forcepoint is a new name on the market. But I would recommend taking a look at all the technical features and the pricing as part of their consideration before making a decision.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Forcepoint DLP as a nine-out-of-ten. The thing that would make it a ten for me would be for the company to improve the technical implementation. It should be better organized.  

The solution has a lot of use cases. 

In our case, it was to protect content based on keywords and typical actions like copying to external devices, printing, or taking snapshots, et cetera. 

It has helped us protect our internal data from external threats. It ensures no data reaches the outside via intentional or unintentional sharing of data. 

The email-sharing capabilities are good. We can watch email sharing based on content, keywords, key phrases, et cetera.

The initial setup process went well. 

It is stable.

The solution is scalable. 

I'd like the data classification to be better.

I worked with the solution previously and only just started to use the product again. I've used it for about a year and a half.

It's a stable product. I'd rate it eight out of ten. This is a highly reliable solution. We haven't had performance issues. 

The scalability is pretty good. I'd rate it eight out of ten in terms of growth capabilities. 

We have more than 7,000 people on the solution right now. 

I'm currently not using it, although I have been. I'm not sure if there is a plan to increase usage.

We have used McAfee DLP also.

It is straightforward to set up. It's not difficult at all. I'd rate the ease of setup eight out of ten.

The deployment process took us about two months.

We only needed two people to handle the deployment and maintenance tasks. 

The deployment was on a third-party server. We handled the deployment itself in-house using our own personnel. 

I have not seen an ROI. However, it is worth the money we've invested in it so far.

I'd rate the pricing seven out of ten. It's moderately priced and not too expensive. We pay an annual subscription. There are no hidden costs. You just pay one flat fee.

I did look for various advanced switches and other advanced features and chose this product.

I am a partner. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using.

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

Overall, I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

We are system integrators. We sell solutions to suit our customers' needs.

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is used for securing your mission-critical data.

Forcepoint has been the leader in the space for many years and they are very well established, and mature. This is why customers choose Forcepoint DLP.

It's quite scalable.

The price could be reduced to be more cost-effective.

We have been selling Forcepoint Data Loss prevention for one year.

It's a stable solution.

Forcepoint DLP is scalable and one of the reasons they are quite popular.

The majority of our clients are large enterprise companies.

The initial setup and time it takes to deploy is dependant on the customer's environments and requirements.

After it is deployed, Forecepoint Data Loss Prevention requires maintenance and support.

We are service providers. We implement this solution for our clients and provide support.

Forcepoint DLP is a bit expensive.

There are additional fees associated with this solution. Customers are aware in advance and usually opt to include them.

Some of our clients find it to be costly and explore other solutions that are cost, effective.

Before implementing this solution, you need to have an understanding of your environment. You need full visibility. Many customers are not aware of their environment and where all of the data is.

In summary, it's a fantastic product.

I would rate Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention a ten out of ten.

In Sri Lanka, we had more banks for DLP. However, Forcepoint offers NetApp, CASB, and endpoint DLP from a single vendor.

In Sri Lanka, we have strong governance for data. Every organization prioritizes securing personal information and customer details. Forcepoint DLP protects data within and outside the organization.

The solution could improve user ability in their firewall. It still requires regulatory compliance, which should be addressed immediately.

The product is stable.

The solution is scalable. We can add more licenses and cater to more users from the application.

Forcepoint should improve its technical support. Sometimes they take a lot of time to resolve the issues.

Neutral

The initial setup is very easy. It has only one console for multiple channels like email, network, and DLP capability.

The deployment depends on the customer’s environment. We have to configure the DLP framework for the categories. Overall, the deployment takes around one or two years for a complete DLP solution.

The product has mid-range pricing, which is worth the money.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use this solution for data loss prevention, enforcement and monitored file labeling. 

Having visibility under a single console has helped us. 

The solution has multiple modules and is good with integration. It also enables data classification and monitored file labeling. It's a classic solution. 

They should support additional customization of SMTP or port customization.

We've been using this solution for four years. 

The stability is very good. 

Scalability comes with the license so it's based on your requirements. If you want to increase the number of users you may need to rescale. To do that requires different hardware. 

The customer support is far from perfect but it's okay. 

Because the solution is deployed on premise, you need to deploy every component based on SQL.

It's important to work your way through the console first because you'll need it to manage the solution. There are multiple components and they all need to be understood. 

I rate this solution nine out of 10. 

We primarily use the solution for data loss prevention.

The good side of the Forcepoint DLP is integrating with the end user behavior dynamically. 

The formation level defining a DLP has become a very static form. In the case of Forcepoint, if it is possible to implement it, they integrate with the end user behavior analytics and then dynamically can run which documents should go to home. This is the most fascinating part.

The integration is great. It's good for dynamically assigning the volume and dynamically blocking some points based on the behavior change.

The most challenging part of DLP is the categorization of documents. Most organizations take the parts and the products, and then finally, the phase is difficult to categorize their product, and these are all very static.

The deployment can be difficult. 

It could be priced a bit lower.

I've been using the solution for two or three years. 

It is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

I can't speak to the scalability. It's not an aspect that I've extensively tested.

Technical support was fine. They were well trained and knowledgable. 

I started with Forcepoint only. I have never used any other solution.

The deployment may be a bit difficult. 

We only need one or two people for maintenance and deployment tasks. 

We implemented the solution ourselves with the help of technical support. They had people that were trained in the prcoess.

The pricing is moderate. I'd rate it three out of five in terms of affordability.

We are Forcepoint partners.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's a pretty decent product in general. 

The primary use case for this solution is DLP.

Some of the features that I find to be valuable are the data loss features, such as CASB, Network, and Email.

The Database needs to be improved and fine-tuning is required on this product.

If they fine-tune it more, It will reduce the time that the client is spending on doing it. There are competitors on the market who are doing that now.

I realized that the engineering team is working on updates and improvements, so it is possible they are working on this now and will make it better. There are more things to see with this solution.

There are default policies regarding the source code and your instant messages. They should have been upgraded. I had already raised this and opened a ticket regarding this issue, and they are working on it.

The way DLP is now, people are using many different electronic things. DLP needs to put some focus on improving.

I have been using this solution for the last two years.

This solution is one hundred percent stable.

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.

This solution is scalable.

The technical support is very nice. I don't have any issues other than the time zones. It's a bit of an issue for me.

The support is over email only.

The initial setup is a bit complex. You will need help from the peer support team in the configuration.

The environment is based on your environment and there were some policy-related issues, but they have been fixed internally.

It is better to use this solution first, before using others.

Overall it's a nice product.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Most of the time we leave it at the first party level because of its ease of use and they do not need too much knowledge to use it. We offer it within the SMB market because it's not complex like other DLP solutions on the market, like McAfee. It is good for retail and the SMB, but I think they must have a COM-LAN with a stand-up LAN.

The GUI is very intuitive. That is the way I would explain its ease of use. It is straightforward.

I have been using Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention for over a year.

As for its stability, it is very stable.

I believe it is very easy to scale.

Our clients are small and medium businesses.

Support is quite good for this product

The initial setup is very simple. You can deploy for 10 users or up to a hundred users in the same way.

In all cases we do the data classified setup. Usually for the biome of a small company, like 50 users, setup takes more than one week.

I think it's the most cost-effective and affordable solution compared to other solutions that I have. I have not heard anything bad from customers.

If anyone is looking for simplicity in a DLP solution, they must go with Forcepoint. 

On a scale between one and ten, I would rate Forcepoint a nine.
