Because it allows the creation of reports and statistics, risk assessment, real-time monitoring, fingerprints, machine learning, [and] a dictionary function--so good and useful.
Chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
I have evaluated CoSoSys but the reporting part did not hit the mark. Also, a high number of false positives was a concern for me. I need a predefined report which needs to be compatible with my compliance requirement, which was missing in CoSoSys. However CoSoSys is good for …

Netskope, Digital Guardian. We've stuck with Forcepoint to limit the number of major architectural changes in a given year. If we achieved diminishing marginal returns on its ROI, then we'd change because the prevention is good, but the headache has to be less than the …

We have tried out Office 365 and Trend Micro DLP but those solutions have not worked out as we hoped. That said, when we looked at Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention, there were only minor issues we came across that did not have any negative impact and overall, the solution was …
Chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Proofpoint has proven to be a superior product. In our experience Proofpoint has fewer false positives and more out-of-the-box pattern detections requiring less customization. However, there is still a value in having more than one DLP …

Chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
We didn't evaluate any other solutions at the time of purchase. Forcepoint was the leader on the Gartner report and we went with their recommendation.

We selected Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention because it meets the size of our organization's needs and the ease of implementation compared to other solutions.
Chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
We selected Forcepoint DLP as we already were using their Web and Email filtering products. The integration among their products is very strong and we did not want to introduce too many additional products into our environment. We have limited security resources so a high level …

Easier to user and cheaper
Chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
We are currently in the evaluation phase to compare overall cost and functionality. Blue Coat runs in a very similar way that Forcepoint does. Check Point runs at the same gateway layer that the firewall does so its policy can be run on the same hardware of existing environments.
Chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
Forcepoint stacks up pretty well against its competitors. It has more functionality then Cisco and is comparable to McAfee. McAfee is one of the few I would feel at ease with replacing our currently solution with.
Chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
Overall it was the best we had, SSL decryption worked better than Bluecoat and Cisco traffic had a lot of certificate issues. Websense was the quickest to get up and running and their sales engineering team is superb.
Chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
Websense has similar features to other DLP solutions. We selected Websense based upon other organizations' experiences. I cannot compare the negatives to Websense as we did not deploy any other vendor DLP solutions in the same scale.
Chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
Websense, at the time, was the only content filtering solution to offer a hybrid option of on-prem and cloud services. We are up for renewal soon and will likely compare them to other vendors.
Chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
I would strongly recommend looking into Blue Coat as an alternative. Also if you run Checkpoint or Palo Alto firewalls they now have decent Web Security/Filtering the eliminates the need for additional hardware. Rather than deal with proxying traffic you can handle it all at …
Chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
Websense gave us the best flexibility for our enterprise configuration and setup. It all does not take up anything on our computers when we use Websense one armed off our firewalls and routers. We found this very easy to set up and transparent to our users and network. The …
Chose Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
We've been using Websense for as long as I've been at Heitman. I had a talk with Mimecast about email filtering but it's hard to find someone that does web, email, and DLP together; it doesn't make sense to have 3 different vendors.

Forcepoint
It's very user friendly and easy to use. Rules can be managed on user-friendly interface web site console. For-example, violation can be release via management module. It provide prevention sensitive data against accidental data loss and compromised. Rule set sometimes work, sometimes does not work. There is no OCR feature. Forcepoint DLP tool does not have any AI feature that can learn user behavior or data and produces alarm.

Pros
Forcepoint
  • 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
Forcepoint
  • 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.

Support Rating
Forcepoint
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.

Return on Investment
Forcepoint
  • 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.
