Forcepoint
It is appropriate for medium to large-scale enterprises, especially the ones that have remote employees. The live-monitoring feature is extremely useful in this case. However, the implementation and initial processing are headache-inducing so you definitely need a dedicated IT team. Be warned though, that not only is their interface quite complex, their customer service is also extremely unhelpful so you won't be able to implement this or tackle any issues without a skilled team. But if that isn't an issue, this is definitely worth a try!

Finding specific Cloud Vendor specific Cloud resource configuration, tags, network information and etc. is fairly easy to do. Cloud alert capabilities are pretty good and with proper knowledge top notch alerts can be created. Only downside I can think of is ease of use.

  • Real-time supports would be much appreciated. At the moment they have a third-party ticketing support tool, which can be replaced with real-time support, which can be provided to the user at the time of the issue.
  • The user should be provided with all the learning material by the Palo Alto team at the time of license purchase. This would save a lot of users' time, which is taken up by research and finding the correct documents from the website.
  • Themes can be introduced in the feature set, which would help the user customize the software as per their needs.

The platform is really good but needs a lot of customization and effort. Need to build an AI platform that will help in customizations.

The interface of both the softwares is complex, but Forcepoint is certainly more complicated. But once you get past that, it is quite smooth and offers a lot of amazing features. It is one of the best options for remote security, although I would love to see more features - like encryption. The one place where it truly lacks is customer service, and since it has such an intricate implementation procedure, this one carries a lot of weight and needs to be improved to make this software even more accessible.

Return on Investment
Forcepoint
  • We are working on strategies to understand what to do with the information that CASB gave to us, it would be good if Forcepoint gives us a few key points but they haven't.
