What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention?

Forcepoint DLP is expensive. Not every customer can afford it. We work in the financial sector, and banking is the primary use case for DLP in Pakistan. There are four types of licensing. Most of our customers only use DLP on their endpoints, but if you need it at a network level, there is an additional license. Also, there are extra licenses for discovery and the DLP suite, which contains all the licenses for the add-ons.

I don't actually know about prices. I am the technical support engineer of the tool.

The solution is expensive.

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

The pricing is fine. It's a yearly based license. For endpoint Forcepoint DLP, they have another license, and for network DLP, they have another license.

There is an annual subscription model and the amount depends on the type of implementation.

The price of the solution is expensive.

The cost is too high. They need to work on their pricing model.

We do not handle pricing ourselves. Our pre-sales and sales teams are responsible for pricing. After deployment, the engineer involved in the deployment also assists with pricing. From one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing to be an eight. Also, there are some costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

The term "expensive" is relative. If the ROI is good, no matter the amount of money invested, it is a win-win. If the cost meets the demands or it meets what you set out to do, what you set out to achieve. Holistically, it's not the most expensive compared to its competitors. Forcepoint is being fully transparent with its costs. There are no hidden costs or extra costs.

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'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 can't comment on the cost, as a different department handles that.

I rate Forcepoint eight out of 10 for pricing. We have a different team that handles the pricing, quotes, and presales. I'm on the technical side, so I'm not sure about the cost. Our customers tell us they prefer Forcepoint because of their market presence. It's also the leader on Gartner's Magic Quadrant and has high ratings on third-party platforms. They prefer Forcepoint. I don't believe the price is too high, but Forcepoint is a premium service and the cost is consistent with the product they are providing. I'm referring to the price from a vendor perspective. When a customer asks us to provide this product to meet their budget, Forcepoint will cooperate with us and provide discounts.

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

This solution is quite expensive.

Licensing costs could be cheaper.

Forcepoint has been very cost-effective because they gave us a good deal while procuring the DLP solution, and we just needed to add one license as we already had the appliance-based solution for the web proxy.

They are flexible regarding the pricing and they have a good model for an OEM data classification tool. This makes for good pricing. Forcepoint has been one of the most competitively priced products over the last few years.

In terms of pricing, it is good for a corporation but they do not cater to small to medium businesses. They have to look at a different pricing structure for small to medium-sized enterprises because the cost is too high. This is compounded for the African market because of the exchange rate. One dollar is equal to approximately 15 rands and if you were to multiply that by the price of the product, it becomes quite costly. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing feed, although you still need to understand the operational impact that it has on an organization from a resource perspective. That needs to be factored into the total cost of ownership.

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.

The licensing of Forcepoint is quite straightforward. It's based on the number of users. The support fees are a separate cost.

All of the vendors that I know have the same licensing fee — all of them. The ones that I've used, like Forcepoint, Symantec, and Digital Guardian, all have similar licensing, either perpetual or subscription — it depends on what you want. Do you want only endpoint DLP or do you want a DLP suite? Either way, they do have similar licensing.

Pricing is handled by another department. I don't have any information in this area.

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.

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.

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.

I prefer Forceoint because it is cheaper than Symantec.

The pricing and licensing fees could be improved. Some customers feel that the pricing is too high. For instance, Forcepoint doesn't sell less than two hundred and fifty licenses, and some customers find this is problematic. For my office, it is a one-year license. For most of the customers, licensing is on a three-year basis. Some customers have requested perpetual licenses.

The pricing and licensing are okay.

It's not the cheapest solution but it's not the most expensive. It's a good price for a good product.
