We performed a comparison between Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention and McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The fingerprinting technology is the solution's most valuable feature. It's unique to Forcepoint."
"The incident management and fingerprinting have been the most valuable features."
"The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functionality is another helpful feature, especially for unstructured data. Being able to discover sensitive data in an unstructured format is the most beneficial element of the solution."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Regardless of the size of your company, this solution can be scaled accurately."
"The product is good and reliable. The vendor company is continually improving it and they seem to stay one step ahead."
"We receive a lot of insights from this product."
"The workflow remediation is quite good. That is a key feature because of which it has the upper hand over other DLP solutions."
"I like the solution's feasibility. McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is also better and easier to use than other ePOs."
"The general endpoint protection is valuable, and it is easy to manage."
"Their support is really good. I would rate it a nine out of ten. I have never any issues with their support. They always reply and follow our queries on time."
"The valuable feature of the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is the management of the policies."
"The most valuable feature of the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is agent communication."
"It is a scalable solution...I rate its scalability a nine out of ten."
"The central manager policy means we have almost all client modules in one solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the antivirus and the DLP."
"Feature requests do take some time to implement."
"Lacks the ability to control the USB port devices so that content coming out of the port is blocked."
"The product is good, but the biggest issue is needing direct support from Forcepoint."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention can improve by having an uninstall option for the client or restart of a client agent can be controlled from the server. This feature is missing which is available with other solutions."
"It would be better if we could easily integrate with other products. Suppose I want to integrate this DLP with some other CASB solutions or a firewall solution. In that case, it takes a considerable amount of time because Forcepoint DLP doesn't come with a legacy firewall or CASB solutions to integrate with it. We need to do it separately. It's not improvised for different sectors, and I need to look for other solutions. I'm investing a lot of time researching and implementing other solutions for other areas. That is one point where I can't feel satisfied with this Forcepoint DLP. The only problem we have faced is that it consumes most of the CPU whenever a Forcepoint DLP is deployed on an endpoint. This is when users feel some lag in their machine's performance or their Internet performance. That's when we uninstall and try to reinstall, or we'll give a cloud link to which it gets access. We use Forcepoint DLP for endpoint protection, not for email or cloud. For email and drive, we went with the Google DLP. Forcepoint DLP isn't as efficient on drive or chat, or email. For that, we have some specialized solutions, but it would be better to have a single console where you can control all these areas. It would be pretty easy for a consumer who is going to use this product. All in one shot, you can try to track it and enforce your policies on a single dashboard. That is one point currently lacking in Forcepoint, and I feel they need to work on it. In the next release, I would like to use this DLP across different solutions like network, firewall, email, or chat with a consolidated dashboard and with integration facilities with other solutions. Security should work as a whole. It shouldn't work individually in blocks. It does not serve our purpose. It should be integrated with multiple solutions. For that, it should have enough intelligence to work with other tools. I'm looking forward to seeing that kind of capability with Forcepoint."
"Usually for the biome of a small company, like 50 users, setup takes more than one week."
"In terms of display, the support and the Mac platform requires a lot of improvement."
"The price could be reduced to be more cost, effective."
"The way that ePolicy launches the updates is very slow. It would be great if that was faster."
"We need to consolidate multiple features into one console. It would be beneficial to have all the important features on a single platform."
"One thing that I don't like is that McAfee products change very often and upgrade very often."
"It's a little bit complex to configure it, but when you start using it, it is much easier. There are many policies that you need to create, and in three or four places"
"The Virtual Patching feature needs to be improved."
"Features such as full drive encryption are lacking in the cloud version."
"There should be more insights and completeness into the cyber kill chain, similar to CrowdStrike and SentinelOne. It just seems a little outdated in being 100% signature-based without all of the insights and protections that come with CrowdStrike and SentinelOne. Overall, they've got some catching up to do if they plan to compete in the comprehensive EDR space."
"I would like to see McAfee reduce the amount of manual work required."
