    Identity Protection is well suited for organizations that need to be monitor AD/Entra for suspicious activity. During a Penetration Test our MDR didn't alert on some odd protocol implementations, but ITDR did. It is also simple to setup for MFA on RDP as well. There are other solutions for it, but found I got more out of ITDR than I did from Duo. ITDR is less suited for smaller organizations since it has a 250-seat minimum. They should lower it to at least 100.

    -Where companies need to secure their attachment, which goes outside, means from their company to outside -Where companies need to ensure their client's personal information -Where companies need DLP. They need to look for Forcepoint only, as they have the upper hand over the rest of their competitors.

    Pros
    CrowdStrike
    • The MFA component has worked great when it comes to privileged accounts accessing RDP.
    • We wanted to stop lateral movement between endpoints and with CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection we were able to do that.
    • Identity has done a great job at supplementing our MDR service with telemetry.

    • It has predominantly protected us from unauthorized parties and has provided us with better visibility and control over our data.
    • This software has also successfully prevented us from both malicious and accidental tasks, which are quite flexible actions when it comes to the violation of data loss prevention policies.
    • This product has been successful in improving compliance and even mitigating compliance violations, which further facilitated IT security.
    • I think there is room for improvement, as the user interface is slightly rough and difficult to adopt in the beginning. The software also hangs up at a few instances, which leads to some wasting of time and annoyance, but other than that, this software is good. The technical staff should work on the complexities for a better user experience.

    Cons
    CrowdStrike
    • It's not really a fault of the product, but unless you have Falcon installed on all your endpoints your visibility is limited.
    • I've yet to get MFA working on CIFS and Powershell traffic.
    • The interface could be streamlined a little. CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection keeps changing where things are.

    • Forcepoint technical support--specially for users who go with essential support--is challenging to get support on time. You need the ticket to be raised long beforehand to get support from TAC. However, in the case of enterprise support, its is not like this technical person will come on a priority basis.
    • However it comes with higher prices, especially for SMB, it is allowed to pay that amount for support only.

    We have been fairly happy with the product and how it has worked. We have looked at other vendors for url filter and such and have not found one that meets our needs or does what we have been doing with Websense. The product has been fairly stable and we have only had a few issues in the past. We have all seen that it was one of the highest leaders from the Gartner Group Magic Quadrant for Web Gateways.

    While the product is solid, I do find there are an excessive number of sections you can navigate to. It takes some time getting used to, but it is a very powerful product. It's not something you'll master right off the bat.

    For us, Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention was difficult to administer, did not work well when it did work, was incredibly expensive for the feature set you get, and was difficult to uninstall when we moved on from the software. Once it was fully set up, it worked occasionally for us.

    Support from Forcepoint has been lacking. When calling in with a high priority issue we rarely are able to work with a technician immediately. The queue waits are very long and when you get through there are no support engineers available and we need to wait for a call back for hours it seems.

    When comparing to Cisco Duo, I felt like the product offered more than just MFA on RDP. When comparing to Silverfort, it came down to pricing. Silverfort was double the cost and I didn't like how Silverfort had separate SKUs. If you wanted MFA on everything the cost increased dramatically.

    User friendly solution that makes it easy to deploy and manage. Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention very effective to protecting our valuable data on endpoints and where data lives like in the Cloud, server and on-premises disk drives and its valuable to just set policies once and start utilizing Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention solution.

    Return on Investment
    CrowdStrike
    • Being able to see right away during a Penetration Test that the product detected anomalies, but our MDR service didn't. It allowed us to go back to the MDR service to show them the results and fix the issue from slipping through the cracks.
    • By satisfying the requirements from our insurance provider, our premiums didn't go up (MFA on RDP).

    • The exchange of financial documents with customers creates extreme risk as data loss could result in financial and reputation damage to the customer. The cost of deploying Forcepoint is fractions of pennies compared to the potential financial impact of data loss.
    • There is some administrative overhead associated as false positives are inevitable, requiring a manual review and a potential loss of productivity.
