Madhukar Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

A stable solution that provides data protection and employee monitoring features in a single console
If a person wants to use a DLP product, they must know what data they want to protect and how to block, allow, and monitor data. We will not have any issues if the policies are correct and the user is authorized to perform the actions. Uninstalling is also pretty quick. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that you can quickly create policies and enforce them in a matter of minutes."
"With Forcepoint we found that one employee who left had taken some files, and we were able to stop it."
"Before we implemented Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention, a lot of data had been exfiltrated and there were external sharings of data, and we didn't have much control over data with respect to any of the data storage techniques; however, post-implementing Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention, we were able to control the external sharing and exfiltration through email and the web channel."
"In general, Forcepoint is miles ahead of its competitors."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention provides a greater sense of security regarding data leaving email accounts, particularly when emails contain secret files from employees."
"Our organization's intellectual property is not misused or extracted without permission."
"After the configuration, it is very stable, and in the last two years, I haven't been faced with many issues or product-related challenges."
"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 product provides data protection and employee monitoring features in a single console."
 

Cons

"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 feature which needs improvement is the Forcepoint agent upgrading. When you automatically try to upgrade the agent it causes problems."
"There is an admin and you have to monitor the solution all the time."
"Overall, Forcepoint support is not very good."
"The support could improve Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention."
"I did not give it a perfect rating because I have seen complex deployment and multiple challenges, such as multiple integrations and servers, including management, protectors, discovery, OCR, and analytics."
"The deployment can be difficult."
"The solution's interface is still not user-friendly for some customers. So, its interface can be better."
"The user experience should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Forcepoint DLP is a bit expensive."

"It's not the cheapest solution but it's not the most expensive. It's a good price for a good product."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is costlier than other brands, but not all. Of the solutions, I have used Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is more costly."
"The pricing for Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is more expensive than Symantec, but it's negotiable. It depends on how well you negotiate. The solution is worth the money, though, based on the services and facilities it provides to my company."
