Helpful to prevent leakage of sensitive data

  • March 27, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

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

How are customer service and support?

The technical support for the solution is very good.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

A value-for-money DLP solution with NetApp, CASB, and endpoint DLP

  • November 30, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

In Sri Lanka, we had more banks for DLP. However, Forcepoint offers NetApp, CASB, and endpoint DLP from a single vendor.

How has it helped my organization?

In Sri Lanka, we have strong governance for data. Every organization prioritizes securing personal information and customer details. Forcepoint DLP protects data within and outside the organization.

What needs improvement?

The solution could improve user ability in their firewall. It still requires regulatory compliance, which should be addressed immediately.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. We can add more licenses and cater to more users from the application.

How are customer service and support?

Forcepoint should improve its technical support. Sometimes they take a lot of time to resolve the issues.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy. It has only one console for multiple channels like email, network, and DLP capability.


The deployment depends on the customer’s environment. We have to configure the DLP framework for the categories. Overall, the deployment takes around one or two years for a complete DLP solution.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product has mid-range pricing, which is worth the money.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
