"With respect to the discovery component, the reports are very hard to interpret because they come out in an illogical format."
"One area that could be improved is the support. The current support is not very good. Because they don't come on time when a customer really needs it, they take a lot of time to troubleshoot anything."
"We want to be able to do data classification better in the product and reduce false positives, especially on data loss prevention."
"My opinion is that the dashboard could be improved and made more user-friendly. They do not enable a wide range of proper inquiries and we need to identify much of what we need on our own, like incident severity."
"There is room for improvement regarding OCR. I would like to see it enhanced to handle multiple languages and it should be easier to manage."
"The reporting features, the real-time reporting, can be improved in Forcepoint. On the dashboard, we don't have a feature that shows real-time incidents. We have to schedule a report in the environment."
"The initial setup of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is of medium difficulty level."
"The post-optical character recognization feature could be improved because it only really works on documents with some length (at least three paragraphs)."
"The pricing is high for licensing and support and the GUI interface is good but could use updating."
"The UI needs to be simplified."
"We need to do a lot of configuration."
"McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention could improve by making the customer aware of the benefits of the solution which would increase the adoption. Additionally, if there were features to suit multi-cloud environments it would be helpful. If the solution can intelligently identify which is important data for the organization and should not be released from the organization without authorization would be a benefit."
"Integration with other vendors could be improved. For example, with Chrome or Firefox."
"The product fails to offer automatic classification capabilities to its users."
"In my experience, it's not really user-friendly for me, in terms of how I navigate with the ePolicy Orchestrator. They need to upgrade their management console."
"The licensing cost for McAfee Total Protection could be cheaper, but apart from that, I don't need anything else. The software has what I need."
