Chief Executive Officer at a security firm with 11-50 employees
Gained deep visibility into web threats and protect data across hybrid environments
The biggest benefit of Forcepoint [Private Offer Only] from a technical perspective is the solution's features and functionality. Visibility creates a process to address anomalies, and visibility is how Forcepoint [Private Offer Only] is helpful. Visibility is the first step in threat detection, as what you cannot see, you cannot protect. When you have visibility, you can establish a path for remediation. This flexibility is important because data localization is one of the challenges customers face. Some customers prefer an on-site implementation, while others are comfortable with a hybrid environment that includes both cloud and on-site solutions. Depending on the customer's requirements and anything related to compliance or their company's inherent requirements, they choose to go for on-premises or cloud deployment.

Granular behavioral tracking has transformed how we understand user journeys and optimize funnels
Snowplow could be improved in a couple of areas. The Snowplow team is readily available and proactive, always jumping on calls to make changes, especially how we track consent and non-consent data for the EU market. One area of improvement could be its vast canvas, which might feel overwhelming and confusing to people who are less technical or are not sure how to best structure their data. Although Snowplow is powerful, getting value from this granular event data does require strong SQL skills and knowledge of the underlying data model. Therefore, making the data more accessible to less technical users could enhance intuitive self-service exploration, funnel visualization, and easier debugging of tracking issues, allowing product teams to gain insights without relying heavily on analysts. Snowplow could also automate most processes and implement smarter monitoring alerts for fallback. Better documentation and easier debugging when event tracking or schemas change would help, given that managing event definitions centrally can be a hassle when there is a breaking change. Having automated systems to inform users about changes in events or properties would make things smoother across teams.
