Forcepoint Data Guard vs. Trend Micro Smart Protection Suite, with XGen

Scenarios where this solution suits well - 1) Zero Trust Network - wherever client wants a perfect ZTN enabled network + Compliant with standards like NIST 2) Huge Data / VIDEO transfer with cloud/AWS solutions like CDN and CloudFront - Able to connect easily 3) Hybrid networks - connect with various security policies 4) Secure data transfer which has UDP needs for traffic like syslog/UDP VoIP ports need

The best [way] for Trend Micro [Smart Protection Suite, with XGen] to stand out, would be to install it throughout the network, both computers and servers[.] I recommend this solution for both small companies and very large companies since currently the security of our data is very critical and many times the costs that they lead to when suffering from an attack are too high. [A] system like this is worth investing in.

• Integrates extremely well with client's SIEM environment
• Secure Data transfer / bidirectional
• Syslog capabilities which helps us to parse the logs well enough
• Less time / Fast

Incentivized

• Real time threat intelligence using updates from global threat intelligence network.
• Advanced built-in threat detection and response capabilities.
• Ability to detect advanced malware, behavior and communications.
• Flexibility to deploy with on-premise or cloud or hybrid.
• Single management console to manage all layers of security.

Incentivized

• I wonder if we can think of integrating it with Firewall Rule Management solutions like Tufin, not sure if API supports or not.
• Custom Reporting capabilities tailored for CISO/GISO level client folks
• Automation /ease of custom scripting - assistance from Forcepoint support for the same

Incentivized

• Documentation is something that can be improved here.
• Licensing is overly complex and needs to be improved for different features/variations.
• Install is difficult.

I have only had to contact technical support once, which in itself shows what a good product this is, and I received spot-on advice from the person I contacted.

Incentivized

1) Good satisfactory overall support 2) Relatively straight forward installation 3) Data Security 4) Cloud support which is big plus / multi cloud as well. Most of the clients are also very intelligent since they refer Gartner and other reports for statistical data. They do their homework well in advance hence we have to make sure we know the product well

Everything I've used and installed before and since has been easier to implement and support. TM had attractive pricing, however, that was negated by the overall experience.

• Since we are from cyber security, we are engaged in a multi-year relationship with clients that are interested in deploying ForcePoint.
• We have been strong pipeline in our current PoVs for European clients that are interested in this solution. They just want extended support to deploy it end-to-end
• Less costly training mandates, good training material available on the net

Incentivized

• We have stopped multiple infections of ransomware from spreading.
• Lost some productivity when database crashed
• Updates tend to slow system down
