Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Data discovery has accelerated and now drives faster classification and compliance mapping

The best features Cyera offers include agentless discovery and sampling as well as AI ML-based classifications. I find myself relying on the sampling the most, which makes everything really fast, but also the auto-classification and ML-based functionalities. The main thing that stands out to me and my team about the features is the speed of integration and how fast it does the discovery on the data. Once it discovers the data, it also maps it back to a ton of compliance frameworks and best practices that I can use to operationalize. Cyera has positively impacted my organization by allowing me to identify the highest risk areas but also provide better classification of data, which then leads to better data pillar maturity. Cyera has accomplished all three outcomes: saving time, reducing risk, and improving compliance scores, as the speed at which it discovers data was significantly faster.

Senior Manager, Risk at LTFS

Quarantine workflows have shifted risk to business and provide strong PII protection across channels

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention can be improved because the options nowadays involve the use of AI. The approach of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is still very traditional, where I have to create the policy for each and everything. The AI component is missing in Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention, where based on user behavior analytics, it could give us suggestions. This type of improvement is needed in Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention. Additionally, the hardware costing goes up when it comes to Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention because it requires large resources in the implementation part. Not regarding the user interface, but nowadays other DLP solutions have come up with the CASB part and the SaaS platform they are providing. Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is still lagging there, and I have to rely on the on-premises setups. The management part has been difficult as I have to patch the servers, restart them, and regularly take backups. These are a few tedious things that I have to do while managing Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention. This part also needs to be improved in Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using Cloudflare One makes my work quite easy because for DDoS protection, all I need to do is understand the OSI model and click; it makes it easier than trying to write a command line or use a Linux command."

"It is a stable solution."

"Cloudflare Access is part of the Zero Trust philosophy."

"It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it."

"We mostly use Cloudflare WAF, and gets basic Cloudflaire DDoS, caching as extra bonus . We like the factor these features are all integrated into 1 console, simple to manage."

"The capabilities of the software are strong enough for me to do what it's supposed to do. For me, we don't need to do a lot of configuration on our site. We just enable it and monitor it."

"It's a perfect solution from my perspective; it's easy to understand and easy to configure."

"Clover is the best product globally."

More Cloudflare One pros

"Cyera has positively impacted my organization by allowing me to identify the highest risk areas but also provide better classification of data, which then leads to better data pillar maturity."

"The data discovery, data classification, and CSPM features are most valuable."

"Cyera has positively impacted my organization because we have become more compliant."

"Cyera has an inbuilt set of policies implemented towards data security, especially cohering with Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)."

"I like how they model the data. They find data in different places that we didn't know, and they can give us a good idea if it's sensitive or not. They understand whether or not something is in the right region because, with the cloud posture management tool, we could see certain things in the infrastructure, but the way they dig into the data is what we like."

"We like the ability to customize our requirements and rules, as well as its ease of use and management. It also has a cloud feature and proxy functionality."

"We have some financial stuff which is critical for us and don't want to lose that data."

"This solution improved our organization in the sense that, when we switched over to Office 365, we were able to apply the DLP policies to our Office 365 traffic, it increased the visibility of what is happening regarding data moving in and out, it offers executive reporting and allows us to see what is going on for executive decision making, and it helps the organization in meeting the compliance requirements of the Central Bank."

"Technical support has been helpful."

"If someone is looking into using Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention, I advise that if they are looking for a traditional DLP with proper visibility, then Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is the best product to go with."

"Forcepoint's data visibility is the most valuable feature."

"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a user-friendly product, particularly regarding upgrades."

"The real-time analytics feature is helpful. It alerts within seconds and promptly informs management of any potential security issues."

More Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention pros

Cons

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

"Feedback could be enhanced."

"Automation could be improved where you can easily add a TLS and SSL certificate to an application or web app if the developer did not include it."

"The initial onboarding was causing us some confusion."

"The onboarding process can be improved a little bit."

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."

More Cloudflare One cons

"The licensing initially was tricky because it is based on storage as well as user count."

"I would advise others looking into using Cyera to not do so."

"There is room for improvement in making Cyera more user-friendly. Some parts were difficult to navigate, especially for those new to the IT industry."

"They need to add a few things in the UI from an enterprise perspective. It's more along the lines of being able to self-service, have integrations, build alerts, and things like that. Outside of that, they work with us on the API and getting alerts into our SIEM and things like that. There's always a way to do something, and they're always available, which is nice."

"As a startup company, there is a long way for them to go in terms of scalability."

"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention can be improved because the options nowadays involve the use of AI. The approach of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is still very traditional, where I have to create the policy for each and everything."

"I have worked with another DLP solution in and out, and I find that solution to be more stable than Forcepoint. With Forcepoint, I always need to check whether the policy is functional or not and whether my policy is getting synchronized on the detection server or not."

"The price could be reduced to be more cost, effective."

"The tool needs to integrate data classification."

"The user-friendliness of the interface in formulating DLP policies could be improved. An example would be managing policies. It's a little daunting at first, and can be confusing, at times, when it comes to how to set things up and how to add policies. They could improve on that."

"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 deployment can be difficult."

"The policy update size and agent size could be improved. We would also like to have a proper solution for Linux OS which Forcepoint does not offer."

More Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."

"The solution is not that expensive."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"Compared to the competitors, they are very reasonable."

"I don't know how much exactly it costs, but I know that it's a yearly thing. It's something that will cost money for any company because they're storing all this information. They're doing all this machine learning, and there are a lot of services on their backend that they got to pay for. I'm sure it gets translated back to the customers unless you have everything completely on-prem. If you're not doing much in the cloud, then I could see how it'd be cheaper, but if you have anything that's cloud-hosted and does all the work for you, there's going to be a cost associated with it."

"The cost for the product for our use is less than $10 per user."

"The pricing and licensing fees could be improved."

"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."

"Forcepoint DLP is a bit expensive."

"The solution is expensive."

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

"I prefer Forceoint because it is cheaper than Symantec."

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