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.

Integrated controls have simplified compliance checks and have provided rapid audit readiness
In my opinion, the features of Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention are not very valuable compared to full DLP solutions such as those from McAfee or Symantec. This product is only suitable for compliance purposes. If you cover PCI requirements as a financial institution with a checkbox needed for your security audit, it performs very well at this. Basically, if the requirement fits within fixed rules with no need to customize to specific internal documents, it is a great product because of the ease of implementation. It is built-in with most Trend Micro products, so it is just a checkbox and a few clicks in the policy. For these purposes, it is great, but if you have confidential documents to protect, this is not exactly the right product. A few years back, say ten or fifteen years ago, Trend Micro had a standalone DLP product comparable in features to the leaders in the segment, but they decided to stop this product for some reason. The new one, built into other Trend Micro products, is not suitable for forensics, such as tracking who opened a document or who copied a confidential paragraph from a specific document. I do not know what could be improved about Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention. I was really a fan of the full-fledged product. I always tell prospective customers what exactly they can expect and never try to persuade them to choose Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention just because they ask for DLP. It is a niche product, similar to Microsoft DLP, which is also integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem. If the rules fit the specific scenario, it is great. However, if you need to protect specific documents or users, it is not exactly the best product for that purpose. If I consider the intended usage for Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention, I might rate it an eight, but if I evaluate it as a full-fledged DLP solution, I would say three. It is not marketed as a full-fledged DLP. It only integrates with specific regular expressions or keywords. If your needs are simple but you have to cover them due to some regulation, it is great, but for protecting confidential data or intellectual property, it is not the product for this use. For measuring the effectiveness of Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention in minimizing data leaks, I use speed, ease of implementation, and rapid ability to cover regulatory and compliance requirements, which it does really fast if you have such a scenario. However, protecting specific documents or intellectual property is not suitable and not intended for this use, so it is called DLP the other one, but it is not comparable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"This is an effective data leakage solution, it does what it's meant to be doing, and the interfaces are great."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"I prefer Forcepoint for data discovery and data loss prevention."
"The most valuable feature is the endpoint DLP. It's specific to copying to the USB or copying to the internal storage in our office."
"Forcepoint is a pretty good product, we're all pleased with it."
"I think it's the most cost-effective and affordable solution compared to other solutions that I have."
"It was mostly stable."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"We are able to check the log and keep records."
"Everyone can use this tool."
"There are no issues with the interface."
"We've been satisfied with technical support so far."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Trend Micro has improved my client's organization by recovering malware disabled network adaptors from servers."
"The most valuable feature is the total network, end-to-end, malware protection."
 

Cons

"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention's licensing in Indonesia has experienced delays."
"Usually for the biome of a small company, like 50 users, setup takes more than one week."
"There is an admin and you have to monitor the solution all the time."
"It would be better if we could easily integrate with other products. Suppose I want to integrate this DLP with some other CASB solutions or a firewall solution. In that case, it takes a considerable amount of time because Forcepoint DLP doesn't come with a legacy firewall or CASB solutions to integrate with it. We need to do it separately. It's not improvised for different sectors, and I need to look for other solutions. I'm investing a lot of time researching and implementing other solutions for other areas. That is one point where I can't feel satisfied with this Forcepoint DLP. The only problem we have faced is that it consumes most of the CPU whenever a Forcepoint DLP is deployed on an endpoint. This is when users feel some lag in their machine's performance or their Internet performance. That's when we uninstall and try to reinstall, or we'll give a cloud link to which it gets access. We use Forcepoint DLP for endpoint protection, not for email or cloud. For email and drive, we went with the Google DLP. Forcepoint DLP isn't as efficient on drive or chat, or email. For that, we have some specialized solutions, but it would be better to have a single console where you can control all these areas. It would be pretty easy for a consumer who is going to use this product. All in one shot, you can try to track it and enforce your policies on a single dashboard. That is one point currently lacking in Forcepoint, and I feel they need to work on it. In the next release, I would like to use this DLP across different solutions like network, firewall, email, or chat with a consolidated dashboard and with integration facilities with other solutions. Security should work as a whole. It shouldn't work individually in blocks. It does not serve our purpose. It should be integrated with multiple solutions. For that, it should have enough intelligence to work with other tools. I'm looking forward to seeing that kind of capability with Forcepoint."
"The main area of concern is the tool's technical support."
"The thing that would make it a ten for me would be for the company to improve the technical implementation; it should be better organized."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention can improve by having an uninstall option for the client or restart of a client agent can be controlled from the server. This feature is missing which is available with other solutions."
"I can't push a report by a certain organizational entity or unit without a lot of work. The reporting could be better."
"The technical support, the after-sales-support, is not very good at all."
"Typically, DLP solutions do not cover emails without an additional component, which necessitates a dual-service proposal. Comparatively, on-premises deployments offer more features locally than online or remote deployments, which sometimes face challenges with feature support. This is a common issue with Trend."
"It's hard for me to answer any questions about missing features. It's the outside companies who support us that manage this DLP solution at this moment."
"Needs a remote login option."
"We would like to see support for agentless service in the next release of this solution."
"The solution could use better logging in the future."
"The platform's support structure for government-specific domain requirements could be improved."
"In Trend Micro Integrated Data Loss Prevention, there is a need to improve the plug-in manager, as it is an area with shortcomings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for the product for our use is less than $10 per user."
