Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.

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.

My advice for people considering using SearchInform DLP is to recognize its potential to benefit both you and your clients. It offers detailed features that can greatly assist in DLP systems, and by exploring these capabilities, you can better serve your clients. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The web application firewall brought us good security and a view of the accesses/blocks of the entire domain and subdomain that were accessed both by region (country) and IPs."
"Cloudflare has many features."
"The most valuable feature is its usability."
"The solution automatically detects and responds to certain types of traffic based on geolocation."
"The overall experience with Cloudflare is positive, with a rating of eight out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is that it has a free version. They give us the free version with the anti-DDoS features and also the load balancing solution."
"The features of Cloudflare were found to be more beneficial and led to the decision to utilize it over other options."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is security."
"We receive a lot of insights from this product."
"I like the SaaS solution they're offering now a little bit more. It's a new product but it's easy to install and configure."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a user-friendly product, particularly regarding upgrades."
"We don't require a lot of downtime, but when we do then we are getting proper support with no issue."
"Forcepoint DLP's most valuable feature is that it provides complete end-to-end security."
"This solution has a great encryption feature."
"One of the most valuable features is the set of built-in policies that Forcepoint has for PCI compliance. We just need to activate them and start working. Without them, it would be a big task to do a data transformation."
"The product is good and reliable. The vendor company is continually improving it and they seem to stay one step ahead."
"The most valuable feature of SearchInform DLP is the analytics tool."
 

Cons

"Eventually, things go sideways and require fixes when it would have been easier to prevent the issue initially."
"The timing aspect can lead to it being considered overpriced. This is a particular concern we have with Cloudflare, as they may struggle with accurately detecting the client."
"Cloudflare could be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option."
"For large enterprises, the pricing is okay. However, the enterprise price for small projects is a bit high. A mid-tier pricing option would be beneficial."
"They lack a good way to manage DNS as a company, since everything is relegated to single account logins until you get to the higher levels. They have come out with a paid feature to remedy this, but I have not had a chance to fully review it yet to know if it fixes the access problem."
"It would be helpful if the solution could continue evolving to compete with the other solutions on the market."
"Technical support is not well developed. While there are good engineers, Cloudflare does not offer hands-on technical support to fix customer problems but rather a self-service model."
"It should have easier documentation for the configuration. It's very technical and people who aren't technical should also be able to do the configuration."
"Overall, Forcepoint support is not very good."
"If you are a macOS user, there are issues in the area of USB control."
"The post-optical character recognization feature could be improved because it only really works on documents with some length (at least three paragraphs)."
"The main area of concern is the tool's technical support."
"The initial setup of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is of medium difficulty level."
"An area for improvement for Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is its price. It would be good if they could offer better pricing."
"I would like to see improvement in the reporting. We can only get one week's worth of data; we can't get more than that. Also, the reporting console is very slow, making it very frustrating to use."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is not a very well-integrated tool."
"There is room for improvement in terms of implementing a more solid development process, aligning with modern product standards, and upgrading the quality assurance procedures."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is cheap."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"The solution has many features but there are ones that you need to pay for. Sometimes you have to find out which is available for free and which you have to pay for."
"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"I think the pricing is competitive. I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers."
"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"I prefer Forceoint because it is cheaper than Symantec."
"Forcepoint has been very cost-effective because they gave us a good deal while procuring the DLP solution."
"From one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing to be an eight."
"The cost for the product for our use is less than $10 per user."
"They have to look at a different pricing structure for small to medium-sized enterprises because the cost is too high."
"This solution is quite expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"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."
