Many organizations that use Office 365 are exposed to security risks that they are unaware of. As they extend SharePoint to meet their business needs, they build applications using technologies that range from end-user Microsoft Flow to developer-focused SharePoint Framework. Unfortunately, all of these custom applications are capable of circumventing the security measures organizations have in place exposing the organization and its data to security…N/A

Forcepoint DLP
Chose Forcepoint DLP
Nobody can compete with Forcepoint DLP.
Chose Forcepoint DLP
I think Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention pales in comparison to the feature set you get with M365 (which is likely included in most corporations existing licensing!). We moved on from Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention to implement Microsoft's solution instead.
Chose Forcepoint DLP
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 …
Chose Forcepoint DLP
We tested and evaluated Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention and this solution suited the best for our requirement. We optimized it to suit our requirement of 250 to 300 users in our head office. We will be adding a few more users under this solution which are having Windows and MAC …
Chose Forcepoint DLP
I find Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention to be a superior product compared to the other two alternatives mentioned. It is improving, though, at a slower pace but I have seen it upgrading to its best level. There is more value associated with this tool than the other two. …
Chose Forcepoint DLP
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 DLP
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 …
Chose Forcepoint DLP
We have not done a ton of testing with alternatives at this point.
Chose Forcepoint DLP
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 …
Chose Forcepoint DLP
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 DLP
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 DLP
Haven't used other product.
Chose Forcepoint DLP
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.
Chose Forcepoint DLP
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 DLP
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 …
Chose Forcepoint DLP
Easier to user and cheaper
Chose Forcepoint DLP
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 DLP
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 DLP
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 DLP
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 DLP
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 DLP
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 …
Rencore Code (SPCAF)
Chose Rencore Code (SPCAF)
There are no other products like this directly, although one could use combinations of settings with SonarQube, etc. to achieve similar results. There will still be a gap that will require manual effort.
Chose Rencore Code (SPCAF)
I'm not aware of products that do the same as the Rencore offering. I think they'd be hard to beat.
Chose Rencore Code (SPCAF)
I have found no other product that is able to do a similar analysis.
Chose Rencore Code (SPCAF)
For code analysis and code transformation there are no alternatives. Other cloud governance vendors mainly focus on security and permissions, whereas Rencore main focus is customizations.
Chose Rencore Code (SPCAF)
I don't know of any products that compete in the space and if there were any, they would not stand a chance against Rencore.
Behind any good product is a team of highly skilled individuals, who all have the same goal, who are passionate what they do and lastly, are in it for …

Chose Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)
I wasn't here at the time when the company compared different vulnerability management platforms so I'm not sure on the reasoning and difference between the 2. It could be that the team went through different choices and found Vulcan to be the best fit. It's hard for me to say …
Chose Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)
My role is not in charge of selecting more services or products like Vulcan. I just use them as part of my daily responsibilities. Maybe other roles can give more feedback about this.
Chose Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)
Nucleus Security was missing some connectors and was more focused on risk prioritization than ticketing automation.

Seemplicity had a different billing method that may have ended up being more expensive. Also a younger app.
Chose Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)
Vulcan Cyber has a more mature platform catered for enterprise customers compared to Nucleus. The very close support and attention to detail of the Vulcan sales and technical team also helped in answering any possible question we had about the platform or take note of our …
Chose Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)
The competitors were either more complex to implement or higher cost for similar capabilities.
Chose Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)
Vulcan was easier to implement with our existing Security environment. The UX and UI were more intuitive and user-friendly. While SOAR is a super solid product, for our business Vulcan made more sense. It was more of a natural fit for a rapidly-expanding company in a …

Pros
  • The Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention Endpoint module is applied to secure data being used at endpoints, like from Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft capabilities, also other functions like email and FTP, Active Sync, etc. It secures the data in use at the endpoint.
  • The Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention Network Module is applied for the traffic being used in network capabilities like email, FTP, and web. It also secures the data on the move in the network.
  • Forcepoint Data Discover--the capability to discover the data which is sensitive for the organization and lies across the network; with the discovery tool, we can define the data, which is important based on regulatory and compliance risk.
  • OCR (optical character recognition) capabilities also come with the Data Discover Module, by which we can see the embedded text inside the image and that helps to prevent sensitive data theft.

Cons
  • Remote filtering is not as advanced as we would like.
  • Support time is not as quick as needed in most cases.
  • Upgrades of appliances and software is not as easy as other solutions.
  • HTTPS inspection needs to hand a valid cert and doesnt work correctly with all vendors.

  • Rencore's product line is of course still a bit of a niche: SharePoint code quality is not something every organization on the planet is concerned with - although Rencore does much more than that.
  • We feel Rencore's marketing efforts are mainly targeted at technologists. There's a lot of other potential, especially for their platform governance product.

  • Deduping of assets could be better.
  • The weighting of vulnerabilities is hard to describe to non technical executives.
  • The Business Groups and Tagging needs improvement. Or at least allow tags to be removed if not needed. Now they are static from the API feed.

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.

Usability
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.

Vulcan was easier to implement with our existing Security environment. The UX and UI were more intuitive and user-friendly. While SOAR is a super solid product, for our business Vulcan made more sense. It was more of a natural fit for a rapidly-expanding company in a hyper-growth phase using Edge technology.

Return on Investment
  • The capability of this tool to update in real time has saved a lot of time and even saved a lot of energy for researching.
  • The exchange of financial information related to customers builds up an extreme risk of data loss, which can be damaging to the customer.

  • Valuable insights into large existing SharePoint customizations that would otherwise would have taken weeks to analyze and assess on quality.
  • Without Rencore's tooling, it would be impossible to track changes to client-side code. For example, we can tell exactly who changed which JavaScript in which webpart in the environment.
  • Transformation tools helped developers migrate their existing code bases to the cloud, while already providing an automatically translated code base to start from.

  • Allows much better prioritizing of which assets are most vulnerable
  • Allow a better understanding of what assets are actually under real threat vs. what is assumed to be vulnerable, but the real world fact is the system would be hard to reach internally, so it's not as vulnerable.

Rencore Code (SPCAF) Screenshots

Screenshot of Using third party libraries allows you to build your SharePoint and Office 365 applications faster and focus on functionality specific for your organization. But regularly, security vulnerabilities are discovered in these external dependencies. If left unpatched, they become a security risk for your organization and its data. Rencore automatically warns you when any of the third-party libraries used in your applications has known vulnerabilities that could be exploited to hack your environment.Screenshot of Third-party libraries are regularly updated to improve performance and stability. Many organizations however don’t know when a new version of the library they use in their SharePoint and Office 365 applications is released and they keep using the old versions which exposes them not only to bugs but also to security risks. Rencore automatically warns you when a new version of a library that you use is available allowing you to verify the contents and the impact of the upgrade.Screenshot of Without proper tooling, it’s impossible to successfully enforce an application governance plan in SharePoint and Office 365. The number of ways in which users could possibly extend SharePoint combined with the thousands of pages and hundreds of settings that can be configured, make it impossible to continuously monitor for alignment with the organizational policies. 

Rencore helps you understand the configuration of your tenant as well as discover the different SharePoint and Office 365 applications used in your organization. With Rencore you will easily understand how these applications are built, which dependencies they have and which possible risks they expose your organization to.Screenshot of Your organization tailors SharePoint and Office 365 to its specific needs to get more value of its investment in the platform. But each organization has different needs and is subject to different laws and regulations. 

Rencore allows you to configure what policies you want to enforce in your tenant. Each violation gets reported so that you can take corrective action and successfully enforce your organization’s application governance plan.Screenshot of As you start discovering issues in your SharePoint and Office 365 environment, you will be taking corrective actions to mitigate the risks. Rencore helps you track these issues and the related tasks so that you can easily follow up on the status of each issue and control that your organization is improving over time.Screenshot of It’s not enough to have your SharePoint and Office 365 applications verified for compliancy with your organization’s policies before using them in production. As your applications evolve, they will require changes and each change exposes you to a number of risks. Rencore helps you track how your applications change over time, even if these applications don’t follow centralized deployment and are managed by power-users. Each change is assessed for potential risks that it could expose your organization to.
