Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.

No other product will give you the same visibility and data classification functions as this tool
Forcepoint enables you to clarify aspects of your data, including which data to protect for how long, what priority to assign to the data and the destinations. It's a comprehensive, dedicated solution. The interface is user-friendly and easy to manage. No other product will give you the same visibility and data classification functions as this tool. You install the agent to your endpoint, and the end user needs to label the data as confidential, private, internal, etc. After you label the document, you can confirm the confidentiality and go to the DLP to make a new policy to block the specified destination addresses at the Forcepoint level, such as network, email, RDP, etc. Forcepoint uses machine learning and AI file or database fingerprinting. This can give you an early chance to prevent incidents fast. File fingerprinting gives you 100 percent accurate DLP results.

Inexpensive, with good email security, but the technical support could be improved
We don't have as many problems with email security. They have some areas that could be improved. For example, we also use this solution for email encryption, which was clunky and could be improved, but the email security itself has been excellent. The web interface works well but the Outlook plug-in has been problematic. We've had to uninstall/reinstall it. On some Outlook clients (including mine), it causes Outlook to stop responding. I disabled the Outlook plug-in and only use the web interface.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a ten out of ten...I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"We're using dynamic components to build flexible pages to create and manage Git merge requests for code and reviews."
"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 DDoS protection is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Generally, I am satisfied with this product."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"Has multiple modules and is good with integration."
"The ease of configuration was probably one of its biggest selling points."
"The most valuable feature of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is the OCR."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"The product is good and reliable. The vendor company is continually improving it and they seem to stay one step ahead."
"I like the SaaS solution they're offering now a little bit more. It's a new product but it's easy to install and configure."
"I did not experience any crashes. The solution has been stable in my usage."
"One of the most valuable features is the set of built-in policies that Forcepoint has for PCI compliance. We just need to activate them and start working. Without them, it would be a big task to do a data transformation."
"They do a better job of determining what's real and what's not than most of the other solutions we have tried, and it's been very painless to use."
 

Cons

"Cloudflare does not have an on-premise solution. If they had different approaches they could be better suited to accommodate more customers, such as on-premise and hybrid deployments. For example, hybrid deployments would be useful where you could move the traffic from the enterprise to the cloud."
"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."
"Cloudflare doesn't have a reverse lookup. We can only do a DNS lookup to get the IP address from the hostname. It doesn't work if you want to look up the hostname from an IPA address."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Cloudflare should add more documentation and pricing to the cloud version."
"The analytics, basically the dashboard, doesn't have much to it."
"Technical support is lacking."
"The reporting can definitely be improved to offer a lot more explanation on something that may have happened or has actually happened."
"We faced some issues with the endpoint installation of the agent as it is not from a common ground."
"The post-optical character recognization feature could be improved because it only really works on documents with some length (at least three paragraphs)."
"The setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"The initial setup of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is of medium difficulty level."
"It should integrate better with email."
"The deployment and troubleshooting aspects of Forcepoint need improving."
"The product is good, but the biggest issue is needing direct support from Forcepoint."
"This solution has a tendency to provide false-positive results."
"They have some areas that could be improved. For example, we also use this solution for email encryption, which was clunky and could be improved, but the email security itself has been excellent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"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 tool is a premium product, so it is very expensive."
"A free version of the solution is available."
"It's a premium model. You can start at zero and work your way up to the enterprise model, which has a very high pricing level."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"Pricing for this solution could be better."
"One feature that I'm getting ready to take advantage of more is the ability to add more data crawlers to the DLP on-prem environment, without any extra Forcepoint costs or licensing needed for that additional data server. That will help in reducing the stress on the data server that we're using now."
"From one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, I rate the solution's pricing to be an eight."
"The pricing and licensing fees could be improved."
"The pricing is fine."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"Forcepoint DLP is a bit expensive."
"The cost for the product for our use is less than $10 per user."
"In terms of pricing, I believe they provide excellent value."
