What differentiates Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention from other similar products?

In certain of our departments, Forcepoint DLP has been in use for a while. It gives a solitary management platform that imposes control and safeguards all of our critical data and cloud apps. Using Forcepoint was fantastic. Its user interface is robust and straightforward to use. We can maintain rules and identify incidents with ease. An API-based system for third-party integrations would be helpful. Also, the ability to extend reporting capabilities to regulatory compliance requirements such as GDPR and HIPAA is needed.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

DLP tools may all find sensitive data such as SSNs, credit card numbers, and financial account numbers. But what about sensitive data that doesn't fit the cliché template? Forcepoint DLP offers the capacity to locate sensitive material that is quickly user-defined by keywords and in a particular context, for example. Finding this capability is challenging because the only effective alternative product costs roughly three times as much.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don't find the terminal GUI to be as user-friendly as I would want, and using policy or policy exceptions as an example, there are a couple of double negative notions that are challenging to grasp. The rules are inconsistent in their effectiveness. For images, I am useless. OCR functionality is absent.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

One of the industry's forerunners, Forcepoint offers organizations a comprehensive view of their data security while reducing their risk exposure. Secure the data throughout its full lifecycle, including the data that is at rest and in use by file servers and endpoint devices that use Microsoft Excel and Word, among other formats.
