User Testimonials
	Symantec Email Threat Detection and Response	Forcepoint Email Security
Likelihood to Recommend	Broadcom From a price point Symantec cannot be beat in EDU. However, for better EDR a more robust, fully featured solution is desirable. I am not sure if Broadcom is continuing to develop the product either after purchasing it. Incentivized LP Liz Parthemore Director of Technology Read full review	Forcepoint Forcepoint Email Security is perfect for set and forget. Very little do I need to get in and that's to tailor a policy there are minimal issues I have encountered since using the product. Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer Read full review
Pros	Broadcom Excellent integration with other Symantec products E-mail notification in case of an incident Excellent customer support Incentivized UG usha G Consultant Read full review	Forcepoint URL sandbox File sandbox Spam filter Incentivized Guy Fridman Head of IT - Landa Digital Printing Read full review
Cons	Broadcom Adding malicious sources taking time Reporting function is very basic Symantec ATP has no integration with Symantec ETDAD. Incentivized UG usha G Consultant Read full review	Forcepoint Speed is not the best but its email not instant chat Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer Read full review
Support Rating	Broadcom No answers on this topic	Forcepoint The support could be better, but the good thing is rarely having to call them. Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Sr. Network Security Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Broadcom We are making a migration from Symantec to SentinelOne in the near future for easier deployment, better EDR and management functionality. Incentivized LP Liz Parthemore Director of Technology Read full review	Forcepoint Since Forcepoint is used widely in our organization, the integration between DLP web and Mail is amazing, and I didn’t find a good reason to split services between vendors if I have all the package in one place Incentivized Guy Fridman Head of IT - Landa Digital Printing Read full review
Return on Investment	Broadcom It has been a good solution for the time we have used it. Incentivized LP Liz Parthemore Director of Technology Read full review	Forcepoint Even though Forcepoint solution is targeted high in terms of price, the added value it provides to an organization by securing their system in web and mail is tremendous Incentivized Guy Fridman Head of IT - Landa Digital Printing Read full review
