Considered Both Products

Chose Forcepoint Data Security Cloud
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.
Chose Forcepoint Data Security Cloud
There are a few key reasons why we selected Forcepoint ONE over the other options:

Chose Forcepoint Data Security Cloud
Forcepoint One provides protection from advanced threats on all three foundational gateways (SWG, ZTNA, CASB) from a single platform, single console, and single agent. Forcepoint one provides its native IDP for the applications with SSO, and also it can be integrated by …
Netskope CASB
Chose Netskope CASB
Basically we tested some of them, as they're direct competitors. Although they offer very similar funcions, all of them claim to be the best and to do it on the most efficient way. At the very end, it just becomes a balance between functions, price and well know product/partner …
Chose Netskope CASB
I find that Netskope CASB provides a larger catalog of SaaS applications and provides additional security controls for each app, allowing granularity to what actions end users can perform on the sites. This goes beyond simple block download/block upload, making it highly …
Chose Netskope CASB
We felt that Netskope provided a more holistic view in the CASB space from a user and usage perspective. In addition, the cost structure for Menlo was a bit higher and was a bit more complicated in the installation and maintenance perspectives
Chose Netskope CASB
We are thinking about moving to PaloAlto Solution of URL filtering and Prisma access as it is in much more locations and it looks to be working more stable for users. SO far this is in the test phase so it is hard to say if we go this path but as we have this solution already …
Chose Netskope CASB
Looked at SkyHigh as well as Cloudlock and felt SkyHigh was the only other leader in the space that was worth serious consideration. Netskope was able to pull out ahead just based on some subjective decisions.

One scenario where Forcepoint ONE is well suited is when my organization wants to protect against data breaches and advanced threats. This solution can help my organization to quickly identify and respond to threats, as well as prevent sensitive data from leaving the organization. A less ideal scenario for Forcepoint ONE would be if an organization is primarily concerned with compliance and regulatory requirements. While Forcepoint ONE can help with some compliance tasks, it is not designed to be a comprehensive compliance solution.

Cons
  • One area where Forcepoint ONE could improve is in its user interface. The interface is not particularly user-friendly, and can be confusing for users who are not familiar with it.
  • there are some features that are hard to use, or that are missing altogether. For example, there is no way to easily search for files or emails, and the interface for managing users and groups is not particularly intuitive.
  • It would be nice if Forcepoint ONE had better integration with other applications and services.

Netskope's CASB can be challenging to deploy. If it is being implemented for the first time and staff do not have prior experience with deployments, then professional services should be utilized. Once configured and deployed, the product provides an easy-to-navigate User Interface and can be managed effectively with training.

There have been some struggles with their infrastructure keeping pace with demand and load. Support can only do so much and has to defer to known problems being escalated.

This goes beyond simple block download/block upload, making it highly effective at enforcing the actions outlined in corporate policies.
