Team Leader at L & T Finance
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.

Enables organizations to monitor the network and protect themselves from data leakage
The initial setup process is very simple and easy. We have no issues to do it for ourselves or our customers. The deployment takes less than 20 days. The integration is very simple. However, first, we must understand what we want to have on our network and what we want to prevent. If we don't have this information before we start the configuration, we will be lost. We must know what kind of protection we need in our company. We have LGPD in Brazil. It is similar to GDPR in Europe. It prevents any personal information from being linked to other companies without permission. We have to take care of the personal information of our customers, employees, and partners. To deploy the tool, we must understand what we need to do. We must download the whole package and have our infrastructure ready to receive it. We must get the SSL certification and start to configure our platform. When the process is finished, we must roll out a small portion of our network to ensure everything will be well. After that, we must do the full rollout.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I found most valuable is the DLP. We are using it to do encryptions."
"Forcepoint's data visibility is the most valuable feature."
"You can consider Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention a strong solution, as I have seen multiple classification methods and high accuracy, allowing you to create fewer false positives compared to many competitors."
"The solution’s content classification is the best."
"The Forcepoint DLP is such a useful tool for organizations as it protects sensitive data with multiple kinds of functionality such as OCR and an analytics engine (which helps determine if any sensitive data is in danger of policy violations)."
"The Forcepoint tool is well developed. It is ranked in many evaluations at the top when it comes to enterprise DLP solutions. It has good artificial intelligence that enables our customers to focus on specific incidents, instead of having a complicated list of uncategorized incidents."
"The incident management and fingerprinting have been the most valuable features."
"This is an effective data leakage solution, it does what it's meant to be doing, and the interfaces are great."
"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."
"The most valuable feature is we can develop what we want. If we have an old or new requirement, they are able to support us to develop it all within one month."
"This solution has improved our organization, primarily in helping to develop my business processes, and for confidential government information."
"The classifications in place are very helpful in making policies for ensuring sensitive data can be contained."
"I am impressed with the tool's ease of deployment."
"The main thing that I like about GTB is that it has a single agent for DLP and data classification. You can use the same agent. In terms of licensing too, it has a single license. When it comes to data classification, it supports open-source document platforms such as ChainSoft and OpenOffice."
"The monitoring features are valuable."
"The product has a centralized console for everything."
 

Cons

"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is not a very well-integrated tool."
"Everything can be improved and maybe there is a way to improve the user experience through the interface."
"Feature requests do take some time to implement."
"We want to be able to do data classification better in the product and reduce false positives, especially on data loss prevention."
"The tool needs to integrate data classification."
"The protection of personal data needs to be improved."
"I did not give it a perfect rating because I have seen complex deployment and multiple challenges, such as multiple integrations and servers, including management, protectors, discovery, OCR, and analytics."
"I have worked with another DLP solution in and out, and I find that solution to be more stable than Forcepoint. With Forcepoint, I always need to check whether the policy is functional or not and whether my policy is getting synchronized on the detection server or not."
"The solution’s performance must be improved."
"The product needs to improve its support so that users can just log in and create tickets as opposed to sending emails. Sending emails is difficult to track. It also needs to work on its analytics platform."
"To stay competitive, they should expand to smartphones."
"It would be great if they have information rights management (IRM) on the same agent."
"They have a roadmap for the Linux platform and Mac as well, and in the next quarter, they might have patch management also for Windows. However, they don't have that much for Linux and Mac. So, we need those things in Linux and Mac as well."
"The solution could improve by providing additional availability requirements."
"The tool should include better AI features."
"The performance could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"They have to look at a different pricing structure for small to medium-sized enterprises because the cost is too high."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is costlier than other brands, but not all. Of the solutions, I have used Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is more costly."
"One feature that I'm getting ready to take advantage of more is the ability to add more data crawlers to the DLP on-prem environment, without any extra Forcepoint costs or licensing needed for that additional data server. That will help in reducing the stress on the data server that we're using now."
"The licensing of Forcepoint is quite straightforward. It's based on the number of users. The support fees are a separate cost."
"Pricing for this solution could be better."
"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 offer a lot of features in a single bundle. So, if you want to remove some features from GTB, you can remove those. You don't need to buy those, and the price will reduce accordingly. I am very happy with the pricing."
"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."
"The tool has a fair price."
"Its price is very reasonable and competitive."
"The tool's pricing is affordable and based on the number of endpoints."
"The tool is not expensive."
