Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention Reviews

We are mainly using this solution to protect internal documents. It's an internal document creator for the customers.

The most valuable feature is the endpoint DLP. It's specific to copying to the USB or copying to the internal storage in our office.

It's user-friendly and the interface is good.

In terms of display, the support and the Mac platform requires a lot of improvement.

When working with different browsers, we need to upgrade.

Being able to upgrade the agent from the console itself would be great.

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

It's stable. Forcepoint is a very old product.

It's scalable, but we don't have many requirements to scale it.

We have approximately 50 users in our company.

Technical support is always good with providing a solution and understanding the issues.

They are able to resolve the issue and provide a solution.

Overall, I would say that the support is good.

We moved from Symantec.

The initial setup was not completely straightforward, but not too complex.

The migration takes some time, but that is with any solution.

It took approximately two months to deploy.

The deployment was completed in-house.

Pricing is handled by another department. I don't have any information in this area.

This is a product that I can recommend to others who are interested in using it.

I would suggest evaluating it and do some testing before making a decision. It's a different environment.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The data loss prevention is great. Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention provides the user with plenty of control. 

This solution has a tendency to provide false-positive results.

There should be more training provided. For instance, they did not specify how to deal with white and black-listed documents in regards to machine learning. 

There is no specific training or an example provided to follow; you have to make it up as you go. This is challenging because there are so many documents needed for each machine learning algorithm.

Also, configuration management needs to be improved. 

I supervised the implementation of this solution. I used this solution for roughly one year; however, I stopped working with it two months ago.

The only reason I stopped working with Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is that I am currently working with a new company and system integrator and this solution is not within our portfolio.

This solution is stable.

Regardless of the size of your company, this solution can be scaled accurately. 

We've had mixed results with technical support. Some issues are resolved quickly, and other issues have taken roughly two weeks to resolve. Overall, I am satisfied with the customer support. 

The initial setup is not really complex, but not straightforward either. We had some issues because it requires an SQL server and at that point, we were experiencing some issues with our SQL server. Some of the steps in the initial setup process were not really mentioned, precisely. 

The good news is that only one person is needed for both deployment and maintenance; however, that person has to be quite knowledgeable with Sysco, some Linux, and windows.

An integrator helped us with deployment. If it's a basic environment, deployment should only take a week. Post-deployment is the biggest issue. Roughly 80% of DLP policies and work is not IT related. Some customers don't have these policies in place, so they don't even know how to transform them into automated policies. Unfortunately, many people don't have the IT knowledge to transform these security policies into automated policies. This can really draw out the post-deployment time. 

If you are interested in implementing this solution or any DLP solution for that matter, I would advise you to build your own policies first. In short, build your policies and workflows and organize your enterprise well before you implement this solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of seven.

We are system integrators. We sell solutions to suit our customers' needs.

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is used for securing your mission-critical data.

Forcepoint has been the leader in the space for many years and they are very well established, and mature. This is why customers choose Forcepoint DLP.

It's quite scalable.

The price could be reduced to be more cost-effective.

We have been selling Forcepoint Data Loss prevention for one year.

It's a stable solution.

Forcepoint DLP is scalable and one of the reasons they are quite popular.

The majority of our clients are large enterprise companies.

The initial setup and time it takes to deploy is dependant on the customer's environments and requirements.

After it is deployed, Forecepoint Data Loss Prevention requires maintenance and support.

We are service providers. We implement this solution for our clients and provide support.

Forcepoint DLP is a bit expensive.

There are additional fees associated with this solution. Customers are aware in advance and usually opt to include them.

Some of our clients find it to be costly and explore other solutions that are cost, effective.

Before implementing this solution, you need to have an understanding of your environment. You need full visibility. Many customers are not aware of their environment and where all of the data is.

In summary, it's a fantastic product.

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

Most of the time we leave it at the first party level because of its ease of use and they do not need too much knowledge to use it. We offer it within the SMB market because it's not complex like other DLP solutions on the market, like McAfee. It is good for retail and the SMB, but I think they must have a COM-LAN with a stand-up LAN.

The GUI is very intuitive. That is the way I would explain its ease of use. It is straightforward.

I have been using Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention for over a year.

As for its stability, it is very stable.

I believe it is very easy to scale.

Our clients are small and medium businesses.

Support is quite good for this product

The initial setup is very simple. You can deploy for 10 users or up to a hundred users in the same way.

In all cases we do the data classified setup. Usually for the biome of a small company, like 50 users, setup takes more than one week.

I think it's the most cost-effective and affordable solution compared to other solutions that I have. I have not heard anything bad from customers.

If anyone is looking for simplicity in a DLP solution, they must go with Forcepoint. 

On a scale between one and ten, I would rate Forcepoint a nine.

We mainly use this solution for data protection and access to our critical company information.  

I do not think I should name a specific feature that is the most valuable because it is a product we are using as a unified solution and that is very important because it is one of the leaders in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. So there is not a specific feature that is more important than the whole of it together.  

The product is actually quite a good and reliable product and I don't know what to suggest because we are quite satisfied with it. So I would not want to name something that could be improved because it is a product that the vendor company is continually improving and upgrading on their own. The new features that they add in are quite satisfying for our needs. They seem to stay one step ahead.  

There are customers that are moving from Fortinet or Cisco to Forcepoint. I think that is mainly because it is coming from military technology, from Raytheon (defense contracting), so it is quite well rated even though it has not been around for a long time.  

In the next release of Forcepoint DLP, I don't really think that there a lot of things that I would need. I guess that there is always a way to improve the experience surrounding the user interface.  

We have been using this solution for about two years now.  

The product is very stable.  

It is very easy to scale this product because it is made to be used by big enterprises and also fleet management sites all over the world. We have about 100 users who are working with the solution within our company. They are normal end-users, not administrators, and the product is installed on each computer. We only require one person on staff for deployment and maintenance. It is actually less than one person. But it is one person dedicated to the task of supporting the product.  

We have had the opportunity to use their technical support. They were very prompt and very good about getting us what we needed. They are very skilled and we were satisfied with their work.  

We did not use another solution previously before using Forcepoint DLP.  

The setup for the product is quite straightforward. It takes maybe 10 or 15 minutes to be installed before it is ready to be used. For the integration, it took maybe one day. In all, it was very fast.  

We did the deployment of the solution with the help of our own team. I was not directly involved.  

The cost for the product for us is less than $10 per user. We do not pay any additional costs for technical support. Everything is included.  

Before choosing Forcepoint DLP we did evaluate other options in the product category like from CA Technologies (Computer Associates, acquired by Broadcom, Inc.). We also considered a DLP product by Symantec.  

Advice that I would give to someone looking into implementing Forcepoint DLP is to take care and compare it to other solutions. Other solutions may have a more established reputation because Forcepoint is a new name on the market. But I would recommend taking a look at all the technical features and the pricing as part of their consideration before making a decision.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Forcepoint DLP as a nine-out-of-ten. The thing that would make it a ten for me would be for the company to improve the technical implementation. It should be better organized.  

The primary use case of this solution is to manage personal identification, and for data loss prevention in government.

What I like most is that it's quick. 

It's fast and it prepares loss reports.

The data loss prevention and personal data need improvement. 

The protection of personal data needs to be improved.

I would like to see integration with OCS in the next release of this solution.

We have been using this solution for four years.

We are using the latest version.

130 people using Data Loss prevention.

I prefer Forceoint because it is cheaper than Symantec.

I prefer Forcepoint for data discovery and data loss prevention. I have evaluated Symantec data loss prevention and ICT (Information Centric Tagging) for classification and discovery.

My advice would be to use these same components. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The primary use case for this solution is DLP.

Some of the features that I find to be valuable are the data loss features, such as CASB, Network, and Email.

The Database needs to be improved and fine-tuning is required on this product.

If they fine-tune it more, It will reduce the time that the client is spending on doing it. There are competitors on the market who are doing that now.

I realized that the engineering team is working on updates and improvements, so it is possible they are working on this now and will make it better. There are more things to see with this solution.

There are default policies regarding the source code and your instant messages. They should have been upgraded. I had already raised this and opened a ticket regarding this issue, and they are working on it.

The way DLP is now, people are using many different electronic things. DLP needs to put some focus on improving.

I have been using this solution for the last two years.

This solution is one hundred percent stable.

After the configuration, it is very stable, and in the last two years, I haven't been faced with many issues or product-related challenges.

This solution is scalable.

The technical support is very nice. I don't have any issues other than the time zones. It's a bit of an issue for me.

The support is over email only.

The initial setup is a bit complex. You will need help from the peer support team in the configuration.

The environment is based on your environment and there were some policy-related issues, but they have been fixed internally.

It is better to use this solution first, before using others.

Overall it's a nice product.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution to stop the loss of data through various channels. 

The fingerprinting technology is the solution's most valuable feature. It's unique to Forcepoint.

Forcepoint should consider developing its own classification technique to complement its fingerprinting technique. That way it will be the most sorted after DLP Solution in the market.

Technical support needs improvement. There are long stretches of time between queries and responses. It's worrisome.

There's zero Forcepoint presence in West Africa. Customers typically like having these things close to them. It would help if they had a presence here. Right now, Forcepoint West Africa has been administered from South Africa. Because of this, customers can't access premium support in our region.

The stability of the solution is very good. I'd rate it ten out of ten.

The solution is perfectly scalable. We have thousands of users on different deployments. The highest amount of users on a deployment is somewhere around 6,500. We do intend to increase usage.

There's no support presence in my region. Because of this clients can't access premium support.

From the DLP perspective, I have only used Forcepoint, but from the perspective of general edge firewall URL filtering, I've used Checkpoint. I've also used Sophos in the past.

If you understand what it is you want to achieve, then the setup is straightforward. Deployment takes anywhere from three or four weeks all the way up to six or eight weeks. If clients don't give us all the requirements it takes a bit longer. For maintenance, you need about two people. As long as they have Forcepoint administrator certification they can handle maintaining the solution.

I do try to handle the implementations myself, but I also have a list of consultants that can assist as necessary. Forcepoint has very good documentation I can reference if I need to, which has been very helpful during implementations.

I'm a Forcepoint reseller. I typically handle the on-premises deployment model, but I do have a client who is currently moving to the cloud.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.
