It's easy to set up because you point the DNS to it, and it's working in under 15 minutes
Cloudflare is highly scalable. Cloudflare is a system with a web portal that the end users like me see. It's a console where we can adjust the DNS, caching, and security features all in that console. Cloudflare owns thousands of servers across the world that cache the data. It's a powerful solution. When clients sign up for Cloudflare, they're getting this monster content delivery network, security, and a web application firewall in one. It's all rolled into one, and it's massive. Unless you have your website hosted on a massive hosting provider, there's no way that you can deliver the amount of data that Cloudflare can provide to the end users. If you have static content, there's no way that you can ever match what Cloudflare can do. Obviously, there are competitors to Cloudflare that do the same, but I'm saying other types of solutions. Let's say you go with F5. Great, that's on-prem. That's in your colo. You can't deliver as much data to the internet as you can with a CDN. You don't have to spend $20,000 on a net scaler, F5, or whatever Cisco's selling now. You don't have to buy that. You pay them $50 a month or $150 a month. It's totally worth it because even in five years, you'll never get the performance value, not just the actual ROI. You have to consider how much throughput you can get with Cloudflare.

Provides excellent endpoint security in a feature-rich, lightweight, handy, and easy-to-deploy tool
The deployment is straightforward once you understand the solution's architecture. A proper understanding of the different components of Forcepoint DLP is essential, as deploying an enterprise-level DLP could be confusing because the policy server is separate from the main engine sitting on the Triton server. Understanding the components of the enterprise DLP suite is the most critical element for a successful deployment. Still, I rate the solution seven out of ten in terms of ease of setup. The scale of the particular DLP deployment is also a factor; we had cases where the customer only required endpoint or network DLP, a relatively quick job that two staff can complete. A complete DLP suite, including email, web, and network DLP, plus data classification and labelling, would require four associates. Our most recent deployment was a complete enterprise DLP, which required four staff. The entire deployment took almost three months, including a one-month planning phase. During the planning phase, we prepared the documentation, designed the HLDs and LLDs, and high and low-level diagrams. Following acceptance from the customer, we started the implementation, which took roughly 50 to 60 days. The level of maintenance required depends on how many events per hour a particular tool is putting out. If a customer wants to check analytics or identify an email or data leak, that situation doesn't require much policy fine-tuning, and a single staff member could deal with it. The customer can also decide what coverage they want, which may be 24/7, an admin to monitor events only, or Monday-to-Friday support. The coverage determines how many engineers will be required. Another factor in maintenance requirements is the volume of events, as an extensive client could have more than 10,000 servers with many sensitive data in motion. The customer had 24,000 users for our last deployment, and there wasn't a dedicated team for the DLP. The engineering team took care of the network, endpoint, and data security together. There were ten of us on the team, with two engineers per shift for 24/7 coverage.

Comes with data leak protection features but technical support is too slow
We use the solution for endpoints.  The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection.  Safetica ONE's technical support is too slow.  I have been using the product for six months.  I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.  I rate Safetica ONE's scalability a five out of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable, and the DNS servers are simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is that it has a free version. They give us the free version with the anti-DDoS features and also the load balancing solution."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall."
"The simplicity of the overall dashboard makes it a great product for a user like me who has less understanding of the internet than a developer or other more technical people. It gives me peace of mind. I also love the easy customization of the Page Rules."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare DNS is security."
"It is a fast and secure DNS."
"Cloudflare consolidates various capabilities into one product, streamlining processes."
"From what I've seen so far, there are no negatives to report as of yet"
"The technical support for the solution is very good."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"Forcepoint offers many policies that conform to global DLP best practices, including requirements specific to regions like the Middle East, Europe, etc. They have a policy database in their product. That feature is unique to Forcepoint. Their AI and fingerprinting are incredibly effective and robust. We have tested it multiple times. It always catches the correct data being leaked."
"I like that you can quickly create policies and enforce them in a matter of minutes."
"The solution’s content classification is the best."
"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."
"The product's configuration phase is easy."
"One of the most valuable features is being able to see file movement, where files are going. Every week we review the files. It can identify software codes, so we code files and we know where they're going and who's doing what. It gives us visibility."
"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the data classification."
"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."
"The current version of the solution is stable...It is easy to scale the solution."
"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"Safetica ONE is easy to use and set up. We can set up rules and policies quickly."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve caching of servers. The product needs to include PFX certificate as well."
"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"For the free and Pro plans, Cloudflare could use a simple bot to provide information to users. This would improve support, especially for less advanced users who utilize the free components."
"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."
"The analytics, basically the dashboard, doesn't have much to it."
"Technical support is not well developed. While there are good engineers, Cloudflare does not offer hands-on technical support to fix customer problems but rather a self-service model."
"The initial setup of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is of medium difficulty level."
"Everything takes a long time, as it does in every software company, especially since COVID. That is something I notice with every product I use."
"The protection of personal data needs to be improved."
"There is no support for the Bangla (Bengali) language, so we cannot use the Forcepoint technology for Bangla documents."
"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 post-optical character recognization feature could be improved because it only really works on documents with some length (at least three paragraphs)."
"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."
"The solution lacks sufficient customization."
"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."
"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."
"Safetica One has every other thing that you need, so I cannot give Safetica NXT a higher mark because it does not have the full features of the enterprise solutions."
"This solution could be improved if it was available on Linux as well. Currently it can only be deployed on Mac and Windows."
"The product needs to improve support."
"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free version."
"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The product's pricing is cheap."
"The tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"For Cloudflare, I recommend it heavily for small businesses with revenue under a couple of million dollars. Onboarding is easy, and they even have a free plan. This makes it simple for businesses in the $100,000-$500,000 range to try it out and see its value, allowing them to scale up their infrastructure as needed."
"The cost primarily depends on the size of the organization."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"This solution is quite expensive."
"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."
"Pricing for this solution could be better."
"The cost for the product for our use is less than $10 per user."
"Forcepoint has been very cost-effective because they gave us a good deal while procuring the DLP solution."
"The licensing is on an annual basis."
"The pricing and licensing fees could be improved."
"There is an annual subscription model and the amount depends on the type of implementation."
"The pricing for ESET Safetica is less as compared to other solutions. The customers have to pay only for the license."
"Customers need to pay for a yearly license per device."
"The licensing cost for this solution depends on the deal size and your use case. In our instance, it costs $35 per user per year. This is a reasonable price."
"Safetica ONE is expensive."
