Madhukar Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
Team Leader at L & T Finance
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

"The integration is great."
"The technical support for the solution is very good."
"Forcepoint's technical support for the solution is excellent."
"This is an effective data leakage solution, it does what it's meant to be doing, and the interfaces are great."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a user-friendly product, particularly regarding upgrades."
"Forcepoint's data visibility is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"It is an enterprise grade solution and it has all the capabilities which one should have in a DLP including CASB, network DLP and email DLP."
"The product provides data protection and employee monitoring features in a single console."
 

Cons

"The post-optical character recognization feature could be improved because it only really works on documents with some length (at least three paragraphs)."
"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."
"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."
"There is no support for the Bangla (Bengali) language, so we cannot use the Forcepoint technology for Bangla documents."
"I would recommend aligning OCR with endpoints. This is a highly demanded technology globally, especially for endpoints. Forcepoint should focus on improving this aspect to draw more users from Symantec's side."
"Customer service is slow."
"If you are a macOS user, there are issues in the area of USB control."
"It should integrate better with email."
"The user experience should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for this solution could be better."
"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."
"The cost for the product for our use is less than $10 per user."
"They have to look at a different pricing structure for small to medium-sized enterprises because the cost is too high."
"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 is fine."
"The pricing and licensing fees could be improved."
"Forcepoint has been very cost-effective because they gave us a good deal while procuring the DLP solution."
