"The most valuable feature of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is the OCR."
"The fingerprinting technology is the solution's most valuable feature. It's unique to Forcepoint."
"I like that you can quickly create policies and enforce them in a matter of minutes."
"The solution offers very good sensitive data protection."
"The scalability is fantastic. One of the things that I like about Forcepoint is that I can customize the solution to suit my objectives."
"The workflow remediation is quite good. That is a key feature because of which it has the upper hand over other DLP solutions."
"The integration is great."
"We appreciate the user-friendliness and ease of implementation of the Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention platform. The availability of the vendor support team is an added advantage."
"The most valuable features are identifying sensitive data and issuing alerts."
"The auto-labeling feature is definitely the most valuable feature. It goes in and labels the documents for you in different repositories. It covers the Outlook and Exchange repositories along with SharePoint and OneDrive. It is really helpful in those areas."
"I rate Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's stability a ten out of ten."
"It has helped our clients to reduce the time to action on insider threats because it can be integrated."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's responses are faster. Its installation is also reliable. The security score helps with the security part."
"The product can block the uploads to cloud services."
"We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."
"The product is easy to configure."
"The product is good, but the biggest issue is needing direct support from Forcepoint."
"With respect to the discovery component, the reports are very hard to interpret because they come out in an illogical format."
"The tool needs to integrate data classification."
"The initial setup is a bit complex. You will need help from the peer support team in the configuration."
"The deployment and troubleshooting aspects of Forcepoint need improving."
"In terms of display, the support and the Mac platform requires a lot of improvement."
"The user-friendliness of the interface in formulating DLP policies could be improved. An example would be managing policies. It's a little daunting at first, and can be confusing, at times, when it comes to how to set things up and how to add policies. They could improve on that."
"The policy update size and agent size could be improved. We would also like to have a proper solution for Linux OS which Forcepoint does not offer."
"A site can have different containers where you store data. We have always wanted to apply compliance, labels, and policies at the container level, rather than to an outer shell or at the site level. That is something we have been looking forward to and I believe Microsoft is already planning something like that."
"The platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement."
"There is a lot of ambiguity when you are setting up labels, such as sensitive information labels. It is a little daunting at first if you don't have prior knowledge, and there is a little bit of a learning curve for setting up the labels. Some of the setup wizards could be more helpful from an AI perspective. They can streamline the setup through more AI technologies so that you don't have to jump through so many hoops and different menus and dropdowns. It would be useful to have a setup wizard that is more hands-off and engaging for setting up the information type labels. If you tell them this is what we're trying to protect, it should basically start to lead you down that path of best practices. Such a feature would be great."
"Technical support is awful."
"The scalability, in terms of the portal, could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I have faced difficulties in identifying the options."
"There is no AIP for Linux systems. That's a setback. Another thing it's lacking is libraries to work with Python. It has libraries for C# and C++, for example, but not for Python and, these days, Python is very useful."
"There is a need for improvements, particularly in ensuring that file-based recognition is more reliable and comprehensive."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's licensing is expensive."
