Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway vs. Kaspersky Security Awareness

Over the years, [in our experience], the maintenance of the Forcepoint Web Security solution proved to be more cumbersome and troublesome with each version upgrade. In addition, it did not transition well to support the large increase of remote workers. We also experienced weird incompatibilities with the client. We have since replaced this solution with Zscaler Internet Access, a cloud-based secure web gateway solution with a client that behaves as expected, is more flexible, and requires significantly less administration.

Kaspersky Security Awareness is recommended for companies that need to provide cybersecurity training to many users. It is easy to manage and the features are intuitive to users.I think it is suitable for most scenarios, as new features are implemented every six months and they have a portal where customers can suggest new features.

• The user access logs contain a lot of useless information. I understand this is very hard to tackle as I've seen this across any product that logs web activity.
• I would like to see more customization options of website block pages.

• I wish we could attach a custom file to the phishing
• I wish there was a way to edit the return screen when a user clicks on the phishing.
• I would like there to be an integration with Google Workspace, to add a feature to Gmail, for the user to report as phishing, like there is for 365.

It is very stable, the organisation has "locked in" the product and has no plans to change or try another product. We have already renewed our 2019-2020 licenses. It is user friendly and people catch on easily when they first use it. The only downtime is when we install Microsoft updates! It has excellent reporting which help in determining how the organisation's Internet is used and also during both internal and external IT audits.

Despite the intimidating Linux CLI when you use the appliance for troubleshooting, the web security usability compensates as most of the Administration of the system is done there. It is GUI based and has an easy to use UI where one can navigate around rather easily like getting reports, checking alerts, looking the whole setup under deployment to check if all services are running in one place though there are other parts to the system.

The platform gains new features and its UI is always being updated, the user's training and phishing history is a differentiator. Filters make it much easier to search for users, and we can add new fields to include different sectors and business units.

The is a quick first response to acknowledge your issue and the Engineers never take more than two hours to fix an issue and we hardly get issues looking at the fact that the system is pretty stable. There is also a robust Knowledge Base in the site for known problems.

To be honest, once using Forcepoint for our Web Security, I have not wanted to look anywhere else. The dashboard gives me quick insight of threats, productivity, and bandwidth usage. Again, this is a layer in my security and it fills many holes. I feel safe and I do like I can just let it do its thing

Its perfomance is way better than other competitors. I can not compar in terms of price. Platform includes various training courses to protect employees from
cybercrime. Topics include e-mail and phishing, web surfing, passwords,
social networks, confidential and personal data. With the awareness platform employees train at their own pace and level,
with the aim of achieving the desired learning level that matches their
risk profile.

• Being a non-profit the cost is a bit higher than some competitors so our ROI takes a bit longer to recoup. I would really like to see better non-profit pricing.
• The ease of doing a report on someone cuts down on the IT man-hours to do website tracking for managers as we can do it from a central point whereas in the past (prior to Forcepoint/Websense) we would have to ghost their machine to look for activity as well as their local servers.

• I can not rate the ROI
• For workers is pretty useful
• I assume they wil get statistics on how it's been used, so I assume it has good perfomance
