    It is very much suited for organizations that have a great consideration of protecting their data/assets. It is an expensive solution. Hence SMB segments require to find out something which can be similar to achive this. However, there are very few players in the market who has single pane configuration pane, which is one of the key benefits of Forcepoint ONE.

    GoGuardian is excellent for any district with a 1:1 Chromebook program. Our program would not be nearly as successful without it. GoGuardian does work with other devices (Windows, iPads) but I believe some features do not work as well in those setups. We haven't tried using it for anything other than Chromebooks and I am not aware of anyone using it for iPad/Windows or Macs.

    Pros
    Forcepoint
    • Forcepoint ONE is particularly effective at identifying and blocking sophisticated threats, including those that attempt to evade detection by traditional security solutions.
    • The platform uses a combination of advanced analytics and human expertise to constantly monitor activity on networks and identify anomalies that may indicate an attempted attack that is why Forcepoint ONE can quickly block threats and prevent them from causing damage.

    • With the new Minnesota state laws regarding student data privacy - it made it somewhat challenging for us to continue utilizing GoGuardian Admin. However, they provided some updates to their software to address these issues.
    • GoGuardian Admin recently put out an option to checkbox COPPA/CIPA compliance verifications for web filtering. It seems that this still needs some work, as several educational websites we utilize are coming up as "uncategorized" - and then are being falsely flagged and declining access.

    Ease of use Microsoft Defender was a great product, but it looked like it is too risky to have only one vendor for all our needs. Fortinet has a lot of improvements to make to consider in the enterprise segment.

    GoGuardian Admin has been leading the way in content filtering for both on and off site with an easy-to-use interface. At the time, it was one of the first to offer cloud-based off-site filtering for Chromebooks. They continue to grow and provide new features every year with great tutorials and updates.
