Read full review Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is ideal for a 365 E5 enterprise organization where Azure directory is your 'source of truth' for user management and security policies. It is suited for using OneDrive as personal file management and SharePoint as collaborative files storage. Allows delineation of scanning various assets based on job function and department (as defined by Azure groups etc.). No additional cost if you are already invested in an E5 enterprise environment (for most functions, MS has additional DLP product enhancements)
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Adaptive Protection is one of the coolest capabilities in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention especially from the aspect of DLP. Over time, it starts analyzing risky documents and/or contents in the M365 (or O365) environment and starts securing them automatically based on the current available settings. The wide variety of options while creating policies helps in covering number of different scenarios and thus offers more secure and broader coverage of content. Activity explorer (specifically Analytics) provides a very helpful and informative bird's eye view of all the activities happening around while ensuring a provision of being notified in real time about any suspicious activity. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review The Data Loss Prevention tools don't seem to integrate well with other DLP tools Microsoft provides, like those built into Exchange Online. Data is missed when it should be blocked from being sent. The way Purview contributes to the overall Microsoft Security Score can be a bit difficult to tell, it's not clear what is being applied to improve the score and other management windows need to be accessed to address suggestions.

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.

Read full review Support Rating 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.

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.

Read full review Return on Investment 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.
