What differentiates Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention from other similar products?

It's highly user-friendly. On a website with a user-friendly interface, rules can be managed. For instance, a management module can be used to release a violation. It offers protection against unintentional data loss and compromises for sensitive data. The administration is simple. Simple to customize. able to complete audits and compliance.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Data leaks do occur. Aside from fantasies of 300 baud modem bandits and 12-inch floppy disc hackers, users accidentally cause data loss and leakage by doing little actions that could cause big problems. In addition to stopping this leakage, Forcepoint DLP regularly checks endpoints for leaked data and offers programmed capabilities to return that data to its proper destination or quarantined locations.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Forcepoint has to put more of an emphasis on customer support. There are two SKUs for Forcepoint support listed on the BOM (Bill of Materials): Enterprise Support and Essential Support. Essential support is less expensive, but TAC support keeps customers in line for a very long period, which is not a good indicator when it comes to data protection. Customers need a quick fix.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Whether it be Endpoint DLP, Network DLP, or Cloud Access Security & Identity Management, Forcepoint is one of the best companies that can support the entire lifecycle of an application in terms of data security. Forcepoint can help organizations with the best breed of solutions that are tried and true in the market.

What differentiates Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention from other similar products?

Our company uses Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention to protect the transmission of sensitive data outside the enterprise. We address issues where users shouldn't be allowed to send business information for personal use, such sharing files that aren't sensitive but nevertheless contain data belonging to the organization.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

For crucial data on endpoints, in emails, and in cloud apps, Forcepoint DLP offers total protection. The nicest feature is that we can manage the issues and enforce control from a single management console. We are able to see what is going on with cloud services and endpoints. It aids in boosting corporate confidence in operating securely.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don't enjoy using the same old Windows Server app, and the Windows side is really problematic. The functions appear to be functioning OK, but Forcepoint must remove outdated architecture managements. Client management gets complicated and the client becomes a hefty burden. The Forcepoint DLP tool does not support linux operating systems like CentOS, Ubuntu, or USB access control, among other device controls.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Our email servers as well as all internal operations have had this product delivered via endpoints. This tool has excellent functionality and captures DLP incidents with very few false positives. The interface is simple to use, and we can install regulations quickly. Identifying incidents and escalating them is simple with Forcepoint DLP.
