Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
A value-for-money DLP solution with NetApp, CASB, and endpoint DLP
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Offers good UAV Analytics engine and easy to install
What is our primary use case?
The main purpose of DLP is to protect data from being sent outside of the organization without authorization. So, my client uses it to protect emails and web traffic and to integrate with content classification and USB blocking systems.
What is most valuable?
Some good features are basically its UAV Analytics engine. And even fingerprinting is really good in Forcepoint.
Forcepoint recently released an in-line proxy feature, which is a great addition. Previously, users had to add an extension to their browsers, but now that's not necessary. Now, that extension is not needed.
What needs improvement?
One area that could be improved is the support. The current support is not very good. Because they don't come on time when a customer really needs it, they take a lot of time to troubleshoot anything.
For Mac, they should introduce the feature of airdrop. Currently, no DLP detects the airdrop feature. Like, if we have an airdrop. So, no DLP detects that any file is going from Airdrop. Our customers have these use cases.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with this solution for five years. For Forcepoint, we are a titanium partner.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's scalable. We sell to medium and enterprise-level businesses.
How was the initial setup?
It is an easy installation for Forcepoint.
To deploy Forcepoint, we would take almost a week because it's an on-prem solution. But now they have even a cloud platform. So it can be done in one or two days. It depends on the customer and how they provide the insight and everything.
One person is enough for the deployment and installation process.
For Endpoint DLP, obviously, we are the people who do maintenance. But for SaaS-based, it is GTP service only.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is fine. It's a yearly based license. For endpoint Forcepoint DLP, they have another license, and for network DLP, they have another license.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. It is a really good product.
It is very user-friendly, even for admins. However, the support is very low otherwise the product is very good.
