I absolutely love it.""The simplicity of the solution is its most valuable asset. It's very user-friendly.""The central security management center and the content management center are very good.""It is stable and scalable. In addition, their support is great.

Cons
"If I want to allow access to Facebook, yet not allow the user to access videos, then I am not able to do it with this product.""They should provide more details on potential cyber threats.""When it comes to a complex deployment, the rules, firewall features, SD-WAN core features, and auto-scaling can cause the device to be not quite stable.""Something that I've noticed that Forcepoint lacks, is the training that they offer to their end-customers""The solution's support could use improvement.""The solution needs to add an antivirus profile and anti-spyware profile, not just policies and VPN.""They need to work on stability, it has not been the best in our experience.""The interface is complicated. It's difficult to locate all the necessary menus and functions."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The big advantage of this solution is that we can select the right model for our requirements, which is not too expensive."
  • "I believe the licensing fee is for one year, three years, and five years, or something like that. If you wants to increase the support level from a simpler level to platinum, I think that there's a cost. There are differences between every kind of support, but I don't know the numbers."
  • "We would love to take other solution from Forcepoint, but unfortunately the price is too high. That's why we are not considering using Forcepoing for our proxy and DLB. They have a very good DLB, but the matter in the end is the cost."
  • "Forcepoint is very expensive but it's really secure."
  • "It is expensive."
  • "The training that they offer to their end-customers. It's quite expensive, I believe it costs roughly $11,000"
  • "Everything in Forcepoint comes with an individual license, which is kind of a problem. In our last meeting, they said that it may change at the beginning of 2021, and they will try to merge some licenses together. Customers will get more features than what they got previously. We will wait and see."
  • "We have found the price could be reduced. It is a little expensive."

  • "I believe we're getting some good discounts. We're paying less than $500 per AP. I don't know the annual maintenance cost."
