Has powerful event correlations and is stable, scalable, and easy to set up
We use it for insider threat prevention with iPhones and to identify bad practices that block business processes I like that the core functionality is not in different modules. The event correlation is quite powerful. Incident management could be improved, along with enforcement capabilities,…

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

"I like that the core functionality is not in different modules. The event correlation is quite powerful."
"The workflow remediation is quite good. That is a key feature because of which it has the upper hand over other DLP solutions."
"Forcepoint DLP has very good reporting whether it is at the gateway or it is the LP, and the product is user-friendly."
"Has multiple modules and is good with integration."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a user-friendly product, particularly regarding upgrades."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"The fingerprinting technology is the solution's most valuable feature. It's unique to Forcepoint."
"Forcepoint's technical support for the solution is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is the OCR."
 

Cons

"Incident management could be improved, along with enforcement capabilities, which DTEX does not have at the moment."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention can be improved in terms of handling false positives, as there can be a number of logs, so we should have a clear picture to eliminate unnecessary incidents."
"An area for improvement for Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is its price. It would be good if they could offer better pricing."
"There is no support for the Bangla (Bengali) language, so we cannot use the Forcepoint technology for Bangla documents."
"Overall, Forcepoint support is not very good."
"Their discovery or the way they discover the data at risk can also be improved. There are many database servers that are not supported by Forcepoint."
"The setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"Usually for the biome of a small company, like 50 users, setup takes more than one week."
"My opinion is that the dashboard could be improved and made more user-friendly. They do not enable a wide range of proper inquiries and we need to identify much of what we need on our own, like incident severity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing wise, DTEX would be a four on a scale from one to ten, where one is the highest price and 10 is the lowest price. It is not the cheapest solution."
"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."
"There is an annual subscription model and the amount depends on the type of implementation."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable. That's why we went with Forcepoint. They were pretty competitive."
"They are flexible regarding the pricing and they have a good model for an OEM data classification tool... Forcepoint has been one of the most competitively priced products over the last few years."
"It's not the cheapest solution but it's not the most expensive. It's a good price for a good product."
"From one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing to be an eight."
"The solution is expensive."
