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.

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

"A very user-friendly predefining feature."
"I did not experience any crashes. The solution has been stable in my usage."
"I like that you can quickly create policies and enforce them in a matter of minutes."
"The GUI is very intuitive. That is the way I would explain its ease of use. It is straightforward."
"Technical support is always good with providing a solution and understanding the issues."
"Some good features are basically its UAV Analytics engine. And even fingerprinting is really good in Forcepoint."
"The solution’s content classification is the best."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a good product that provides deep fingerprinting capabilities in data exploring and data discovery, with excellent features for discovering data automatically through policies available in their portal, and they excel in data discovery and classification."
"The product has a centralized console for everything."
"This solution has improved our organization, primarily in helping to develop my business processes, and for confidential government information."
"This solution helps classify what is confidential and what is not, allowing products to be installed at home if they do not contain confidential information."
"The classifications in place are very helpful in making policies for ensuring sensitive data can be contained."
"They have a fingerprint feature that is very awesome. OCR is very awesome to have too."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's ease of deployment."
 

Cons

"It does not serve our purpose."
"We faced some issues with the endpoint installation of the agent as it is not from a common ground."
"The solution lacks sufficient customization."
"Usually for the biome of a small company, like 50 users, setup takes more than one week."
"The protection of personal data needs to be improved."
"Based on our experience, the stability has not been very good, but it has also not been bad."
"They can improve a bit in the OCR category. The OCR deployment could be simplified."
"Overall, Forcepoint support is not very good."
"The tool should include better AI features."
"The performance could be better."
"It would be great if they have information rights management (IRM) on the same agent."
"The solution could improve by providing additional availability requirements."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for this solution could be better."
"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 pricing for Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is more expensive than Symantec, but it's negotiable. It depends on how well you negotiate. The solution is worth the money, though, based on the services and facilities it provides to my company."
"They have to look at a different pricing structure for small to medium-sized enterprises because the cost is too high."
"There is an annual subscription model and the amount depends on the type of implementation."
"The licensing of Forcepoint is quite straightforward. It's based on the number of users. The support fees are a separate cost."
"I prefer Forceoint because it is cheaper than Symantec."
"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."
"Its price is very reasonable and competitive."
"The tool's pricing is affordable and based on the number of endpoints."
"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 is not expensive."
"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."
"The tool has a fair price."
