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 scalability is fantastic. One of the things that I like about Forcepoint is that I can customize the solution to suit my objectives."
"It was mostly stable."
"With OCR and Risk Analysis, we are able to determine if anything sensitive is been shared. OCR helps us to safeguard those things and with risk ranking, we can determine which user is trying to violate policies multiple times even though they have been blocked to him or her."
"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."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a good product that provides deep fingerprinting capabilities in data exploring and data discovery, with excellent features for discovering data automatically through policies available in their portal, and they excel in data discovery and classification."
"A very user-friendly predefining feature."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention provides a greater sense of security regarding data leaving email accounts, particularly when emails contain secret files from employees."
"We don't require a lot of downtime, but when we do then we are getting proper support with no issue."
 

Cons

"Incident management could be improved, along with enforcement capabilities, which DTEX does not have at the moment."
"It is a bit expensive."
"Usually for the biome of a small company, like 50 users, setup takes more than one week."
"Improvement in Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention, especially when applying a positive DLP approach, needs to focus on decreasing false positive incidents."
"The initial setup is a bit complex. You will need help from the peer support team in the configuration."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention's licensing in Indonesia has experienced delays."
"When we integrate with Forcepoint SSE product, a few classifiers cannot be matched as per customer's expectations and customizable workflows can be an added advantage."
"The support could improve Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention."
"Forcepoint DLP is a bit expensive."
 

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."
"Forcepoint DLP is a bit expensive."
"This solution is quite expensive."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The pricing and licensing are okay."
"There is an annual subscription model and the amount depends on the type of implementation."
"Forcepoint has been very cost-effective because they gave us a good deal while procuring the DLP 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."
"One feature that I'm getting ready to take advantage of more is the ability to add more data crawlers to the DLP on-prem environment, without any extra Forcepoint costs or licensing needed for that additional data server. That will help in reducing the stress on the data server that we're using now."
