Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention Reviews

The most useful features of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention are the transfer through Bluetooth can be blocked and the transfer to the cloud-based storage can be blocked. The features are wonderful.

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 have been using Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention for approximately two years.

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a stable solution.

The scalability of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is good.

We have approximately 500 users using this solution in my organization.

I used the support a couple of times and they were good.

I rate the support from Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention a four out of five.

Positive

I have previously used Symantec.

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a medium level of difficulty for the initial setup. It's not easy or very complicated. 

We required a consultant for the implementation of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention. I do the maintenance and support for the solution.

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is costlier than other brands, but not all. Of the solutions, I have used Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is more costly.

I rate Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention a seven out of ten.

Forcepoint DLP's most valuable feature is that it provides complete end-to-end security. It gives us an understanding of any violation happening in the network or via endpoint.

The post-optical character recognization feature could be improved because it only really works on documents with some length (at least three paragraphs). If someone has copied half a paragraph or half the content from a webpage, it doesn't work. In the next release, Forcepoint should include DLP, antivirus, and encryption in the same solution, which would resolve many of the IT problems we face.

I've been working with Forcepoint DLP for about five years.

Forcepoint DLP is stable.

This is a scalable solution.

Forcepoint's technical support is very good - they help you the moment you log the ticket. They're much more helpful than Broadcom, Symantec, or McAfee.

The initial setup is very simple and can be completed without an integrator.

Forcepoint has been very cost-effective because they gave us a good deal while procuring the DLP solution, and we just needed to add one license as we already had the appliance-based solution for the web proxy.

We evaluated Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro but found that Forcepoint was the best for complete on-premise without comparing the CASB solution, had the best UI, and was the most easily maintained.

I would recommend Forcepoint DLP to other users and would give it a rating of nine out of ten.

We have different areas of DLP like drive, chat, email, network, and endpoint protection. We have different data classifications which are regulated in our industry. Based on that data regulation, we created a few policies as per our government standards, like the social identity number, personally identifiable information, and personal health information. 

We categorized data for different sectors, and we have applied policies, and Forcepoint DLP actively filters it. If I'm sending some PII to you, it should get filtered out because it's against the organization's norm. It does its job actively.

I like that you can quickly create policies and enforce them in a matter of minutes. 

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.

I have been using Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention for three years.

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a stable solution.

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a scalable solution. 

Technical support is pretty good. I don't see any kind of delay. As soon as we raise the request, we always get support from Forcepoint DLP immediately.

I heard that the implementation was pretty simple. Only the policy creation took time because we had to build use cases for it. Your industry might have a different use case, and my industry might have a different use case. It took a little bit of time, and it came from an implementation standpoint, and I felt it was pretty good. 

You just need one person working in shifts to use this solution. As we have 8,000 employees, we are doing it in shifts with three professionals.

We used an integrator to implement this solution.

We evaluated Google DLP and Netskope DLP. We chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention because of the ease of policy creation. For any DLP solution to work effectively, we need to create our use cases. On top of use cases, we need to build policies and enforce them. In Forcepoint DLP, it's pretty simple to create any kind of policy and enforce them. It doesn't take a lot of time to get it enforced. It all takes a matter of minutes, and I feel this is the biggest advantage of using this DLP solution.

If the organization is pretty small, then I can recommend this solution. However, if it's a pretty huge organization, I will step back a little bit because it won't serve its whole purpose.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention a six.

Our primary use case for this solution is for malicious activities.

The feature I found most valuable is the DLP. We are using it to do encryptions.

My opinion is that the dashboard could be improved and made more user-friendly. They do not enable a wide range of proper inquiries and we need to identify much of what we need on our own, like incident severity.

In the next release, I'd like to see the updates working properly as the priority apps we have are not upgrading the agent that we have installed.

I have been using this solution for about a year and a half.

I would rate the stability of this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

I would rate the scalability of this solution a six, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

I would say that their technical support is quite helpful. I would rate them a seven, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

Neutral

Our model of deployment is on-premises. The only issue with deployment that we've found is that sometimes OPC is not able to connect to SCM or to a particular vendor. The deployment took around 20 minutes. Everyone was involved in the deployment of this solution, every department. It takes about two to three people to maintain this solution.

We used an in-house team to do the deployment of this solution.

There are around 16,000 users of this solution in our company.

I would recommend this solution to other people.

I would rate this solution as a whole a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

Some implementations in Forcepoint are easy to do. 

We cannot implement very complex policies or use cases with Forcepoint.

Forcepoint's data visibility is the most valuable feature. 

They need to improve their reporting feature as well as the incident response. They have very limited and basic response rules available for incident management so they need to improve them.

I have been using Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention fora year and a half.

I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

The scalability is an eight out of ten. 

The technical support is average.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. It takes about three to four hours to implement this solution.

The solution is expensive. 

Overall, the solution is an eight out of ten. 

Major compliance issues are faced by every manufacturer or by those who use customer data. From a compliance point of view, people want a DLP solution for their organization. Every organization needs a DLP solution to prevent data leakage to external sources outside the company, making it one of the major use cases for every customer as they require a DLP tool that covers multiple channels like email, web, network, printers, USB, and removable devices.

Some of our company's customers who want the tool to deal with some of their use cases are macOS users. When it comes to the area of USB control, macOS takes five to ten seconds, meaning there are some solution-designing problems attached to it. With Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention, policies can be applied in Windows within a fraction of a second, but for MacOS users, it takes five to ten seconds, and during these seconds, data leakage from inside to outside an organization can happen. The product is compliant with Windows. My company suggests the product to those who have a Windows operating system in their environment. If you are a macOS user, the problem or concern arises due to the issues attached to the area of USB control. As a whole, macOS is good for users. The aforementioned details regarding macOS need to be considered for improvement.

I have been using Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention for 5 years. I am a reseller of the tool.

The product's stability is very good, and it is a major reason why it is considered a market leader.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

My company caters to the needs of multiple customers who use the product.

The technical support for the solution is very good.

The product's initial setup phase was easy.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The time taken to deploy the product is something which depends on the solution or the setup. Mostly, the solution can be deployed within three days, after which some finetuning is required to meet the requirements of our company's customers.

Speaking about how the tool improves data security and compliance posture, I would say that there are multiple products, one of which is a DLP tool, required from a complaint point of view when it comes to data security.

The product's most valuable features for protecting sensitive data revolve around areas like data discovery, data classification, and data leakage. Forcepoint also provides pre-defined templates for data classification covering components like PII, PHI, and PCI.

Forcepoint DLP is a leading tool in the market.

The policy management and the incident reporting system are very easy since, in our company, we just need to integrate it with our user group and users, based on which we configure the policy and apply it within a fraction of a second. The aforementioned details explain why Forcepoint is leading in the market with respect to DLP products.

The data fingerprinting part is a major reason why my company chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention. In our company, we need to use areas like PII, PHI, and PCI, so that, though we can share data via emails or any other channels, we get to block specific areas with the fingerprinting feature of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention .

From a DLP perspective, Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is the best. There are no other competitors who can compete with Forcepoint in the area of DLP.

In Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention, the user risk scoring impacts security operations and incident response since it is very easy to deploy from our company's customers' perspective, and it makes their day-to-day operations very easy with respect to incident response.

The main benefits of the use of the solution stem from the fact that it ensures that there are no chances of data leakage of any confidential data from inside to outside of the organization.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

The solution is easy to manage. 

I am not able to get support directly from Forcepoint. 

I have been working with the product for three years. 

I rate the solution's stability a seven out of ten. 

I rate Forcepoint DLP's scalability an eight out of ten. My company has 11,000 users. 

The tool's support does not provide urgent solutions when we face issues. 

Neutral

We have five resources to handle Forcepoint DLP's maintenance. 

I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. 

I rate Forcepoint DLP a seven out of ten. 

Forcepoint is installed on our company-issued laptops to act as an on-premises firewall. This ensures that we cannot access websites that are not whitelisted in the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) system, even when working from home.

The most valuable feature is security.

The administration should take a proactive approach to ensure that research-related websites can be accessed without having to be whitelisted, even if there are some sites that remain off-limits.

The setup is complex and has room for improvement.

The support is slow and has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The solution is as stable as our internet connection.

I give the scalability a nine out of ten.

We have 3,000 employees using the solution.

We use third-party technical support. The turnaround time for support is slow.

I believe the initial setup is complex and is handled by another team.

The deployment was done over the weekends and it took the IT team approximately two to three months to deploy bank-wide.

The licensing is on an annual basis.

I give the solution a nine out of ten.

The solution requires around 15 people for deployment and maintenance.

I recommend the solution to others.
