Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

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.

TABISH JAVED

Site Reliability Engineer (Certified) at Kyndryl India

Automated recovery has minimized downtime and supports seamless multi‑datacenter failover

Beyond pricing, there are areas where I would like to see InfoScale improved or enhanced. Veritas offers three management approaches. The first, which Veritas currently recommends, is Veritas Operation Manager. The second is the Cluster Manager Java Console graphical interface. The Cluster Manager Java Console has not been revised since version 6.1 or 6.2. This tool was critical for me, particularly valuable when managing small cluster footprints of 20 to 30 server nodes. I relied heavily on this tool, but Veritas has moved away from it in favor of Operation Manager. I recommend Veritas continue evolving this tool rather than discarding it. The third approach is the command line, suitable for individuals with extensive Veritas expertise and experience, but command line use in live environments consumed excessive time, leading me to prefer the graphical interface. Apart from pricing, I have not discovered disadvantages. The product is excellent. My concern is Veritas discarding the Cluster Manager Java Console in favor of Veritas Operation Manager. Setting up Operation Manager requires time and a dedicated server that runs continuously. I had to create a single server just for Veritas Operation Manager. While this works well for larger environments with hundreds of clusters, it is less useful for smaller deployments. I still recommend Veritas reconsider this application and evolve it by incorporating new features from Veritas Operation Manager. Adding these new features to the Java console would be beneficial because that tool runs on my laptop without consuming environment resources, and I can connect directly to clusters from my laptop. I am not opposing Veritas Operation Manager, which is excellent and resembles hardware management consoles for power machines, but smaller tools that previously performed these tasks should remain as options to provide clients with greater ease. From a features and functionality perspective, I do not find missing features in InfoScale at this moment. However, I am not actively using Veritas, managing only legacy machines on older hardware. I am upgrading operating systems but not Veritas due to contract expiration and end-of-life status. The contract is not being renewed because the customer wants to move away. Since I have not logged into VCS since 2021 and transferred responsibilities to another team, I am unaware of features arriving in version 8 or beyond and cannot comment specifically on recent Veritas introductions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform removes the risk of exposing the applications to the public."

"The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks."

"The best feature is rate limiting. If I'm expecting 500 visits per hour, Cloudflare will limit the requests if I suddenly get 50,000."

"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."

"Cloudflare Access is part of the Zero Trust philosophy."

"Clover is the best product globally."

"For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."

"The capabilities of the software are strong enough for me to do what it's supposed to do. For me, we don't need to do a lot of configuration on our site. We just enable it and monitor it."

More Cloudflare One pros

"The built-in rules, templates, and content classifiers are among the most valuable features. Some of the built-in patterns are good places to get started with. Along with the phrases, they are helpful in putting together policies and fine-tuning our policies."

"Forcepoint is a pretty good product, we're all pleased with it."

"This solution is one hundred percent stable."

"The most valuable feature is security."

"The real-time analytics feature is helpful. It alerts within seconds and promptly informs management of any potential security issues."

"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."

"Our organization's intellectual property is not misused or extracted without permission."

"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention provides a greater sense of security regarding data leaving email accounts, particularly when emails contain secret files from employees."

More Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention pros

"InfoScale does that all by itself without any dependency on different solutions."

"In a live incident scenario, the data replication process occurs in real-time, and compared to other products, this data replication feature works effectively, ensuring data availability, and we can implement this scenario using Veritas Volume Replication (VVR), which is the most usable feature in InfoScale for data replication."

"The best feature is that it supports high availability and automatic failover, which minimizes downtime and helps the environment reduce downtime and improve high availability for critical applications."

"From a recovery standpoint, InfoScale is excellent and easy to manage."

"Over the last two years, we did not experience any application failover or receive alerts due to the immediate switchover mechanism in active-active mode that ensures no downtime, helping us significantly with confidence and trust in our organization."

"It's a stable solution."

"It offers High Availability for many applications, including Oracle and SAP environment."

"InfoScale's ability to maintain data integrity and availability during a cyber event such as a ransomware attack is excellent."

More InfoScale pros

Cons

"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."

"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."

"The onboarding process can be improved a little bit."

"Automation could be improved where you can easily add a TLS and SSL certificate to an application or web app if the developer did not include it."

"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."

"From a logging perspective, it is still a bit difficult to see exactly what users are being blocked with the current views."

"Feedback could be enhanced."

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."

More Cloudflare One cons

"Their discovery or the way they discover the data at risk can also be improved. There are many database servers that are not supported by Forcepoint."

"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."

"If you are a macOS user, there are issues in the area of USB control."

"Sometimes the agent has trouble communicating with the central management."

"The main challenge is the solution's high cost. Additionally, there is no discount for bulk purchases, making it difficult to get budget approvals."

"An area for improvement in Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is the complex UI and policy deployment. You have to find the policies, and then designing the policies is also tricky."

"The feature which needs improvement is the Forcepoint agent upgrading. When you automatically try to upgrade the agent it causes problems."

"Forcepoint DLP is a bit expensive."

More Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention cons

"While InfoScale is mainly used by enterprise-level customers, it does not inherently support many applications, which presents a scalability issue."

"Based on my experience with support, I would rate them a nine, only because occasionally the first person I talk to does not know more than I do and it needs to be escalated to reach someone more knowledgeable."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that pricing is a little higher and should be reduced since most companies cannot afford it."

"It could be more stable and more secure."

"Many customers can see the benefit of InfoScale, but they are usually not able to purchase the product because the license cost is very high."

"It's very difficult to implement."

"Many customers can see the benefits of InfoScale, but they are usually not able to buy the products and solutions because of the licensing costs."

"The primary concern is licensing cost, as the customer is unwilling to invest further and has begun cost-cutting measures."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not that expensive."

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."

"I can't comment on the cost, as a different department handles that."

"The cost for the product for our use is less than $10 per user."

"The licensing is on an annual basis."

"The pricing is fine."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing are okay."

"Forcepoint offers a more cost-effective solution because everything, including OCR, is included in one package, unlike Symantec, where it is an add-on with an additional cost."

"This solution is quite expensive."
