"Transparent Mode: Since we have multiple sites and roaming users, it has helped us in deploying the proxy to users without having to push any configurations to end users."
"In terms of functionality, Forcepoint is the best web proxy available."
"SWG allows me to track internet usage patterns, helping optimize bandwidth and understand how much time each employee spends online."
"Giving visibility to people's actions in the network, while keeping attackers out: across data centers, offices, branches, and the cloud."
"It has protected clients against cyberattacks."
"The critical role is web URL filtering."
"The tool categorizes the user profiles which is very comfortable."
"It is very stable."
"Improve detailed guidelines to deploy the transparent proxy to Firefox users."
"The firewall doesn't have any features because some customers are requesting they will install the firewall without licensing. At this time we cannot go further without licensing. Licensing is a must with Forcepoint Web Security firewalls."
"The automation lifecycle, integration, and export functionality could all be improved."
"There should be more hardware models available and the application control could improve."
"It's the support that's the problem because that's a different question from the product itself — it's the Achilles heel."
"Overall the software is occupying too much memory space. If they could remedy that, it would be a better experience, because today Windows is occupying too much memory space as well (in terms of the RAM), and this software has also started occupying all the memory. Due to this, I have less space for my other office products and data. I can't, for example, operate a huge Excel sheet or other datasets."
"The product needs to have more mobility."
"We have had latency issues."
"Malware, scanning, capture, and integration should be included with the content filtering."
