We use Bitglass for real-time scanning and its unique VM that enables reverse proxy capabilities. Bitglass can also act as an IDP for us when we don't have an identity provider.
Regional Solutions Manager Sub Saharan Africa at Infodata Professional Services Limited
Easy to deploy, stable, and scalable
Pros and Cons
- "By default without a policy, Bitglass has the capability to notify the admin of multiple or simultaneous logins across a wide range of geographical regions."
- "Bitglass integration with some IDP providers needs improvement."
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The solution enforces our devices no matter where it is located even across our cloud devices reducing the manual work we have to do.
What is most valuable?
By default without a policy, Bitglass has the capability to notify the admin of multiple or simultaneous logins across a wide range of geographical regions. The solution will take action if the same credentials are used in multiple regions at the same time, preventing unauthorized access.
What needs improvement?
Bitglass integration with some IDP providers needs improvement. Currently, the solution is not compatible with Azure AD for third-party authentication. The fraud proxy in the SmartEdge agent is not compatible with Forcepoint DLP or a web hybrid agent. I would like the developers to consolidate multiple agents across systems for better integration.

Senior Executive Account Manager at Grupo Binario
Has valuable monitoring, DLP, and SIEM communication features
Pros and Cons
- "Forcepoint ONE is okay for me, and I find it a very good solution. Its most valuable feature is monitoring. Its monitoring is very good, and it can communicate with a SIEM system. I also find the DLP feature of Forcepoint ONE good."
- "One area for improvement in Forcepoint ONE is that you'll need more training to install the solution yourself. I practiced in a laboratory and I needed more technical information to do the installation."
How has it helped my organization?
Forcepoint ONE is a very, very good product, especially for my SOC (security operations center) team though you'll need to get a lot of training to optimize the solution and ensure that it meets your needs. Forcepoint ONE is a very good monitoring solution, and it gives my organization a lot of information on how to boost security and how to keep new products or new applications secure.
What is most valuable?
Forcepoint ONE is okay for me, and I find it a very good solution. Its most valuable feature is monitoring. Its monitoring is very good, and it can communicate with a SIEM system. I also find the DLP feature of Forcepoint ONE good.
What needs improvement?
One area for improvement in Forcepoint ONE is that you'll need more training to install the solution yourself. I practiced in a laboratory and I needed more technical information to do the installation.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In the laboratory, Forcepoint ONE is stable, but I don't know if it's stable in a real environment because I have not installed it yet in the real world. In a laboratory setting, it is pretty stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Forcepoint ONE is a very scalable solution.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support for Forcepoint ONE is very good, at least when I needed support in a laboratory setting. On a scale of one to five, with five being the best, I'm rating the support a four.
How was the initial setup?
In terms of the initial setup for Forcepoint ONE, I'm rating it a three out of five. I'm giving it a score of 60 percent out of one hundred percent. I currently don't have an implementation strategy, but if I need to implement the solution, I would need more training, or even take a special course on how to implement Forcepoint ONE.
What about the implementation team?
Forcepoint ONE was deployed through an integrator or consultant.
What was our ROI?
I don't have information on the ROI from Forcepoint ONE.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing cost for Forcepoint ONE would depend on the features, but the pricing is very competitive here in Brazil. The solution offers a good price, and I would rate it a three or a four in terms of pricing. I don't have information on whether there are additional costs apart from the standard licensing fees for Forcepoint ONE.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
My company didn't evaluate other options because it is an integrator of Forcepoint ONE, so it only has Forcepoint ONE as its solution. This means I didn't do any testing with competitors such as Zscaler and Netskope.
What other advice do I have?
My company is a partner and reseller of Forcepoint ONE. I work with the solution, though I'm not as experienced with it. I had my training in the Forcepoint laboratory in Brazil because I just started working with the solution, but I know how Forcepoint ONE works, how to use it, and how to implement it. I'm using the latest version of the solution.
The number of staff required to deploy and maintain Forcepoint ONE depends on the number of users because the solution can also be used individually or by a single user.
My advice for people looking into implementing Forcepoint ONE is to take a course or go into training because the solution may seem easy, but it's not, particularly during implementation, because it would still depend on your tool. You need to understand your tool well and how you can adapt it to Forcepoint ONE. The solution is not easy if it doesn't have a direct integration with your tool. When you go direct to the cloud, there's no problem, but when you need it to be a hybrid solution, it could be a bit difficult in terms of integrating it well. The integration, though it's not very, very difficult, still requires attention and care for it to be successful.
My rating for Forcepoint ONE is eight out of ten. For me to rate it a ten out of ten, the support, price, and functionality should first be improved. There would be a need to speak with the Forcepoint team about it, and the team is very, very dedicated in terms of explaining and helping you understand the solution.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

The sales staff promised more than they can deliver, but the technical staff is excellent.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not previously use a different solution.
How was the initial setup?

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Negotiate for the pricing model that fits your budget. The vendor is willing to customize pricing.

What other advice do I have?
Take your time and have each vendor set up an actual proof of concept, rather than just relying on a demo. Get your network and support staff engaged in the process early on because they will be instrumental in deployment and support. Know what you’re trying to accomplish.
