No other product will give you the same visibility and data classification functions as this tool
Forcepoint enables you to clarify aspects of your data, including which data to protect for how long, what priority to assign to the data and the destinations. It's a comprehensive, dedicated solution. The interface is user-friendly and easy to manage. No other product will give you the same visibility and data classification functions as this tool. You install the agent to your endpoint, and the end user needs to label the data as confidential, private, internal, etc. After you label the document, you can confirm the confidentiality and go to the DLP to make a new policy to block the specified destination addresses at the Forcepoint level, such as network, email, RDP, etc. Forcepoint uses machine learning and AI file or database fingerprinting. This can give you an early chance to prevent incidents fast. File fingerprinting gives you 100 percent accurate DLP results.
Marcelo Grandchamp - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables organizations to monitor the network and protect themselves from data leakage
The initial setup process is very simple and easy. We have no issues to do it for ourselves or our customers. The deployment takes less than 20 days. The integration is very simple. However, first, we must understand what we want to have on our network and what we want to prevent. If we don't have this information before we start the configuration, we will be lost. We must know what kind of protection we need in our company. We have LGPD in Brazil. It is similar to GDPR in Europe. It prevents any personal information from being linked to other companies without permission. We have to take care of the personal information of our customers, employees, and partners. To deploy the tool, we must understand what we need to do. We must download the whole package and have our infrastructure ready to receive it. We must get the SSL certification and start to configure our platform. When the process is finished, we must roll out a small portion of our network to ensure everything will be well. After that, we must do the full rollout.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The GUI is very intuitive. That is the way I would explain its ease of use. It is straightforward."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is being able to see file movement, where files are going. Every week we review the files. It can identify software codes, so we code files and we know where they're going and who's doing what. It gives us visibility."
"The scalability is fantastic. One of the things that I like about Forcepoint is that I can customize the solution to suit my objectives."
"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."
"Regardless of the size of your company, this solution can be scaled accurately."
"It has helped us meet CTI requirements. Some employees accidentally shared information and it was able to block that information. That is one of the biggest benefits we have seen from this tool."
"The tool is fine for the DLP features, especially when you are on an on-premises model with a data center."
"The product has a centralized console for everything."
"The most valuable feature is we can develop what we want. If we have an old or new requirement, they are able to support us to develop it all within one month."
"The classifications in place are very helpful in making policies for ensuring sensitive data can be contained."
"The main thing that I like about GTB is that it has a single agent for DLP and data classification. You can use the same agent. In terms of licensing too, it has a single license. When it comes to data classification, it supports open-source document platforms such as ChainSoft and OpenOffice."
"The monitoring features are valuable."
"This solution helps classify what is confidential and what is not, allowing products to be installed at home if they do not contain confidential information."
"I am impressed with the tool's ease of deployment."
"They have a fingerprint feature that is very awesome. OCR is very awesome to have too."
 

Cons

"The support could improve Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention."
"It would be wonderful if the solution could develop more AI and machine learning capabilities. It would also be good if the solution was able to integrate with other ML and AI solutions. Right now, this is lacking."
"Everything takes a long time, as it does in every software company, especially since COVID. That is something I notice with every product I use."
"They can improve a bit in the OCR category. The OCR deployment could be simplified. Right now, you have to set up a separate server to manage all the data going through the network, especially the images. Forcepoint could better integrate the OCR component with central management."
"They need to improve their reporting feature as well as the incident response."
"With respect to the discovery component, the reports are very hard to interpret because they come out in an illogical format."
"This solution has a tendency to provide false-positive results."
"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."
"To stay competitive, they should expand to smartphones."
"It would be great if they have information rights management (IRM) on the same agent."
"They have a roadmap for the Linux platform and Mac as well, and in the next quarter, they might have patch management also for Windows. However, they don't have that much for Linux and Mac. So, we need those things in Linux and Mac as well."
"The performance could be better."
"The solution could improve by providing additional availability requirements."
"The product needs to improve its support so that users can just log in and create tickets as opposed to sending emails. Sending emails is difficult to track. It also needs to work on its analytics platform."
"The solution’s performance must be improved."
"The tool should include better AI features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Forcepoint offers a more cost-effective solution because everything, including OCR, is included in one package, unlike Symantec, where it is an add-on with an additional cost."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The licensing of Forcepoint is quite straightforward. It's based on the number of users. The support fees are a separate cost."
"There is an annual subscription model and the amount depends on the type of implementation."
"From one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing to be an eight."
"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."
"This solution is quite expensive."
"The pricing and licensing fees could be improved."
"The tool's pricing is affordable and based on the number of endpoints."
"The tool is not expensive."
"Its price is very reasonable and competitive."
"They offer a lot of features in a single bundle. So, if you want to remove some features from GTB, you can remove those. You don't need to buy those, and the price will reduce accordingly. I am very happy with the pricing."
"The tool has a fair price."
"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."
