Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall Valuable Features
PV
Pablo-Verdina
Sales Manager at Mega tech S.A
Today, the Next Generation Firewall from all companies are pretty similar, but the difference lies in the accuracy of setting up the risks. Another valuable aspect is the features and how friendly they are for cross setup. Cross setup refers to using multiple features from the same firewall simultaneously within the same environment. With Forcepoint, this process is simplified compared to others like Fortinet.

The most valuable features of Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall are the advanced threat protection, including features like IPS and DDoS prevention, which help avoid internal DDoS attacks. The centralized management and smart policies are effective, providing enhanced network efficiency, connectivity, and improved security, resulting in fewer cyberattacks and data breaches.

It provides decent protection for the LAN, especially in run mode. However, from an administrator or engineer's perspective, Forcepoint isn't very clear to use. There are too many menus, and management can be problematic—it's not user-friendly. Also, it's not a cost-effective solution.

The platform's most valuable features are perimeter network security and URL filtering. These functionalities are crucial for us, particularly because we operate in a highly restrictive environment regarding internet access.

The product's most valuable features are its extensive policy features, especially the S7 Pro features, and its DNS security feature, which provides an additional layer of protection not found in other firewalls.

Senior Network Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
We like the scalability of Forcepoint because, with the Forcepoint NGFW solution, we can scale anything. The solution has central management, so we can manage all the branches and devices centrally in one controller. This also allows the customer to manage the solution centrally.
Forcepoint comes with the SD-WAN feature, which connects all the branches and devices to the data center with a central connection. We bypass using a VPN or IPsec or anything like that because Forcepoint can do it automatically. Also, one of the controller benefits is that it can monitor the tech, meaning all the devices that are managed by Forcepoint.

Petr Pouzar
IT Consultant at M-COM s.r.o
Forcepoint is a good solution because it has a central server that serves as a management console. You can manage 100s of firewalls from this single console. Additionally, a key advantage is that Forcepoint provides VPN services as part of its basic subscriptions. It is not necessary to pay extra to use VPN services.
