Forcepoint Data Security Cloud vs. OpenText Network Node Manager i (NNMi) vs. SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset

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.

Well-suited for large-scale deployment without needing more servers. Linux installation is quite stable, and Polling of a large number of devices is well managed. Less suited to Network Observability scenarios or cloud network monitoring.

I have found the toolset especially useful for scanning subnets to discover devices, and for setting up temporary real-time monitors when we are troubleshooting or setting up new connections. The most useful aspect has been the ability to apply the tools to help troubleshoot and pinpoint intermittent issues. More general tools like Orion often do not have the granularity to detect issues like intermittent packet loss which are especially impactful to applications like Voice. The toolset gives us another level of capability to dig into issues.

• 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.

• There is no need for improvement in the solution. The solution is built with all the required features and capabilities that are required for a security service edge solution.

• More out of the box monitoring parameters features
• Improved GUI
• Independent reporting functionality within NNMi

• The unifying component that is intended to be the initial interface to the tools seems clunky. I prefer to start the tools individually rather than using it.
• The port scanner could use some improvements to make it easier to use.

NNMi's user interface is described as well-designed and intuitive, making it easy for users to navigate and perform tasks quickly, thereby enhancing the overall user experience. The system offers a powerful network discovery mechanism that maps out your network's physical and virtual topology, enabling you to visualize connections between devices and identify potential issues. Fault monitoring is at its best. NNMi provides a unified environment for viewing faults, availability, and performance data, consolidating essential information into a single platform.

Very easy to use and intuitive. Just be careful with the WAN Killer...it does what it says.

Support is long and arduous and often are unable to help resolve the issue. We often have to do escalations or duty manager to get things moved. Even with a technical account manager, we do not see much improvement from a support point of view. This is an area where Micro Focus has a lot of improvement to do.

Our organization uses it regularly. It is reliable, and we keep finding new uses for it

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.

Even though there are many products in the market such as from Solarwinds, CA Spectrum (no DX Spectrum), PRTG that offers similar or even with more flexibility the fault and performance monitoring still Micro Focus is a very nice tool when it comes to Scalability and Stability with all necessary monitoring coverage. There is no external database required and hence less issues with integration.

I haven't compared any tools similar to SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset. This might be because I'm pretty biased when it comes to monitoring, and reporting solutions. I've found that SolarWinds provides the biggest bang for the buck in my opinion. I'm sure there are other solutions on the market that compete, but I haven't tried any of them because I've been very satisfied with SolarWinds.

• There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the impact of Forcepoint ONE on a business's overall objectives will vary depending on the specific goals and objectives of that particular business.
• However, in general, businesses that have implemented Forcepoint ONE have seen a positive impact on their overall objectives, with many reporting increased productivity, improved security, and reduced costs.
