We performed a comparison between Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway and Trend Micro Web Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Secure Web Gateways (SWG) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"The solution is stable."
"The customization and control of URL filtering and the integration with other Forcepoint solutions are great features."
"The antiviral sandboxing."
"The solution’s administration is easy."
"In terms of performance, Forcepoint stands out because it is more scalable than any other solution. It can extend to different types of boxes and integrate well with other platforms and vendors. And it doesn't need to have the same kind of box or throughput to have high availability."
"This is a highly detailed product with very good key features."
"It’s pretty stable after you get up and running."
"Ease of updating the latest hotfixes and patches on the appliance."
"Giving visibility to people's actions in the network, while keeping attackers out: across data centers, offices, branches, and the cloud."
"The solution's technical support team is responsive."
"It's a stable solution."
"It's a very stable solution."
"The solution's scalability is good and we have more than 90 users for it."
"The security of Trend Micro Web Security is good."
"It's secure and useful from an administrative point of view, with controllable login monitoring and so on."
"The most valuable feature is machine learning, which automatically monitors the activity on the machine."
"I feel that it is a user-friendly product that provides quick response to users."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"Sometimes attacks or a new ransomware gets through."
"But the deployment could be easier. It might take from one day to three days. Usually, that involves an engineer from the vendor and a working team at the enterprise."
"The automation lifecycle, integration, and export functionality could all be improved."
"The reporting could be improved."
"There should be more hardware models available and the application control could improve."
"The performance issues in the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Stability needs some improvement, we have on occasion experienced some delay when it is synchronized."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Setup isn't very straightforward. You must have a certified technical engineer."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
"I would like to see better scalability and better performance."
"The product's scalability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The price of Trend Micro Web Security is the only area of concern where improvements are required. From an improvement perspective, the product should be made available to users at a cheaper rate."
"The solution's scalability could be better."
"The product should be more secure and stable. It is also not flexible."
"The costs are a bit high in terms of licensing."
