Includes a custom template so you don't need to compute one and was easy to implement
Pros and Cons
  • "It has helped us meet CTI requirements, as some employees accidentally shared compromising information and the solution was able to block that information, which is one of the biggest benefits we have seen from this tool."
  • "It should integrate better with email."
  • "Sometimes the agent has trouble communicating with the central management."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is for PCI certification so that the company employees' credit card information doesn't get lost.

How has it helped my organization?

It has helped us meet CTI requirements. Some employees accidentally shared compromising information and it was able to block that information. That is one of the biggest benefits we have seen from this tool.

What is most valuable?

I was working with other customers with the integration of the solution of web protection with DLP and it allows the same agent to bring it and you can protect them and in some cases share web pages or emails. The other thing is that they already have a custom template so you don't have to compute that.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes the agent has trouble communicating with the central management. You need to push a lot of different times to get the policy. Another issue is that the templates are primarily in English and Japanese. They have a lot of Spanish speaking customers and should have more options in Spanish.

It should integrate better with email.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's quite stable. Sometimes, when we do an upgrade, we get some trouble but otherwise, it's very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability depends on the operation of the system. We have around fifty users. 

How are customer service and technical support?

Their technical support is great. The technicians are very experienced. We don't have any trouble with them.

How was the initial setup?

The initial implementation was easy because we implemented 25 to 50 agents. We didn't have a lot of problems. It was truly easy to implement this product. The deployment took one month. We saw what data we needed to protect and we told the agents. 

We required two people for the setup who were IT people. We use it every day. 

What about the implementation team?

We implemented it ourselves. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's not the cheapest solution but it's not the most expensive. It's a good price for a good product.

What other advice do I have?

The first advice is that you should know what data you need to protect then you can implement everything. If you know what you need it'll be a lot easier. You also need good hardware and resources in the computer hardware to be able to implement. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. An eight because you need to have a lot of security experience to properly implement it, in order to know what you need to activate. It's not a  plug and play solution.

Provides ease to users in capturing any data leakages
Pros and Cons
  • "The product's configuration phase is easy."
  • "The main area of concern is the tool's technical support."

What is our primary use case?

In most of the banks that my company has implemented the tool, we have EMI and credit card information, and they don't want it to go outside the bank. It is also used to prevent company and other financial information.

What is most valuable?

There is a feature in the product that I use the bank with which it is really easy to capture any data leakages.

What needs improvement?

The main area of concern is the tool's technical support. I would suggest the technical engineers reply to users as soon as possible since it usually takes them some time to respond.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention for six months. My company functions as a distributor of the tool.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would suggest that the tool's interface or UI needs to be redesigned since it is a bit outdated. The UI needs to be redesigned for the tool's productive working.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

For scalability, we just have to deploy the agent, and we can push it through a CCM tool or something like that to manage it, making it an easy process.

How are customer service and support?

I rate the technical support a five or six out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The product's configuration phase is easy.

Less than two people can deploy the solution.

The solution can be deployed in less than an hour.

What was our ROI?

Cost-saving is possible with the tool. The tool has saved time and costs.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't actually know about prices. I am the technical support engineer of the tool.

What other advice do I have?

The real-time analytics feature is good, and the tool is really easy to use. I have no concerns regarding the tool.

It is easy to integrate the product with other solutions like SIEM solutions. We have multiple products that we have integrated with Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention, including Microsoft.

I have only used the machine learning part of the tool, which is easy to use.

I recommend the tool to others.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

A value-for-money DLP solution with NetApp, CASB, and endpoint DLP

What is our primary use case?

In Sri Lanka, we had more banks for DLP. However, Forcepoint offers NetApp, CASB, and endpoint DLP from a single vendor.

How has it helped my organization?

In Sri Lanka, we have strong governance for data. Every organization prioritizes securing personal information and customer details. Forcepoint DLP protects data within and outside the organization.

What needs improvement?

The solution could improve user ability in their firewall. It still requires regulatory compliance, which should be addressed immediately.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. We can add more licenses and cater to more users from the application.

How are customer service and support?

Forcepoint should improve its technical support. Sometimes they take a lot of time to resolve the issues.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy. It has only one console for multiple channels like email, network, and DLP capability.


The deployment depends on the customer’s environment. We have to configure the DLP framework for the categories. Overall, the deployment takes around one or two years for a complete DLP solution.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product has mid-range pricing, which is worth the money.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
