Featured Reviews

Madhukar Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager, Risk at LTFS
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.

A stable solution that provides data protection and employee monitoring features in a single console
If a person wants to use a DLP product, they must know what data they want to protect and how to block, allow, and monitor data. We will not have any issues if the policies are correct and the user is authorized to perform the actions. Uninstalling is also pretty quick. Overall, I rate the solution an eight 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

"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."
"We chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention because of the ease of policy creation."
"The tool is fine for the DLP features, especially when you are on an on-premises model with a data center."
"I did not experience any crashes. The solution has been stable in my usage."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention provides the user with plenty of control."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"The product provides data protection and employee monitoring features in a single console."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their reporting feature as well as the incident response."
"The tool needs to integrate data classification."
"We want to be able to do data classification better in the product and reduce false positives, especially on data loss prevention."
"The support could improve Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention."
"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 post-optical character recognization feature could be improved because it only really works on documents with some length (at least three paragraphs)."
"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."
"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."
"The user experience should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing fees could be improved."
"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."
"I prefer Forceoint because it is cheaper than Symantec."
"The pricing is fine."
"The licensing is on an annual basis."
"The cost for the product for our use is less than $10 per user."
"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."
"They have to look at a different pricing structure for small to medium-sized enterprises because the cost is too high."
