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.

Comes with data leak protection features but technical support is too slow
We use the solution for endpoints.  The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection.  Safetica ONE's technical support is too slow.  I have been using the product for six months.  I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.  I rate Safetica ONE's scalability a five out of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an enterprise grade solution and it has all the capabilities which one should have in a DLP including CASB, network DLP and email DLP."
"The GUI is very intuitive. That is the way I would explain its ease of use. It is straightforward."
"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."
"The solution has been good, and it has responded to our needs."
"The integration is great."
"The solution offers very good sensitive data protection."
"I would certainly recommend this solution to others; it's one of the best DLP solutions on the market."
"Incident remediation is awesome in Forcepoint."
"The most valuable feature is the data classification."
"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."
"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."
"This is a good solution, is easy to deploy and is scalable."
"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."

"Safetica ONE is easy to use and set up. We can set up rules and policies quickly."

Cons

"They can improve a bit in the OCR category. The OCR deployment could be simplified."
"The protection of personal data needs to be improved."
"I would recommend aligning OCR with endpoints. This is a highly demanded technology globally, especially for endpoints. Forcepoint should focus on improving this aspect to draw more users from Symantec's side."
"One area that could be improved is the support. The current support is not very good. Because they don't come on time when a customer really needs it, they take a lot of time to troubleshoot anything."
"Improvement in Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention, especially when applying a positive DLP approach, needs to focus on decreasing false positive incidents."
"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."
"If you are a macOS user, there are issues in the area of USB control."
"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."
"This solution could be improved if it was available on Linux as well. Currently it can only be deployed on Mac and Windows."
"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."
"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."
"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."
"Safetica One has every other thing that you need, so I cannot give Safetica NXT a higher mark because it does not have the full features of the enterprise solutions."
"The product needs to improve support."
"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual subscription model and the amount depends on the type of implementation."
"Pricing for this solution could be better."
"The licensing is on an annual basis."
"The licensing of Forcepoint is quite straightforward. It's based on the number of users. The support fees are a separate cost."
"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."
"From one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing to be an eight."
"The pricing is reasonable. That's why we went with Forcepoint. They were pretty competitive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"Customers need to pay for a yearly license per device."
"The licensing cost for this solution depends on the deal size and your use case. In our instance, it costs $35 per user per year. This is a reasonable price."
"The pricing for ESET Safetica is less as compared to other solutions. The customers have to pay only for the license."
"Safetica ONE is expensive."
