    Forcepoint
    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.

    Wiz is well-suited if you want to run real-time scans against resources that were recently patched or configured. It is good to keep track of vulnerabilities found and what can be done to resolve the issues without having to open up multiple tabs. Overall, it is good to keep an eye on how well cloud teams or cloud security teams are doing.

    Pros
    Forcepoint
    • It prevents users from accessing websites that may have recently been created for the purpose of distributing malware.
    • It prevents users from accidentally or intentionally accessing websites that are considered inappropriate for a work environment.
    • It allows us to create different policies for different teams in our organization.

    • Multi-cloud: Ability of Wiz to integrate with all of our cloud platforms makes it easy to deploy and centralizes our insights into all environments
    • UI/UX: Wiz's UI is one of, if not -- the best UI I have ever used in a security application. Wiz is able to make it easy to follow and use the application to simplify the normally overcomplicated process of parsing through security information and tools.
    • Marketing: Hosting meetups such as Wizdom has demonstrated Wiz's investment into its customers by providing us with more encouragement to use the app. The merch, ads, and presentation are above and beyond many companies in the tech industry.
    • Threat Intel: We rely on Wiz for the latest finds in vulnerabilities across all platforms, and since it is incorporated into the application, it makes this easy and fast to push out necessary steps without going through multiple layers of communication between vendors, cyber governance, security analysts, and developers.

    Cons
    Forcepoint
    • 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.

    Wiz.io
    • I would like to see the modification of the issue status to be wrapped in some form of a permission
    • I would like to be able to show filtered queries on the Identity Entitlements screen also on the security graph.
    • I wish I didn't have to create an automation rule (when the rule does just about the same thing in each) for each project (in Wiz).

    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.

    Usability
    Forcepoint
    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 UI is very user-friendly, with documentation available on every page of the application. New users can learn about the product features as they navigate through several different pages, using the instructions at the top of each page, making it quite easy to use.

    Forcepoint
    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

    We previously used Lacework but transitioned to Wiz as part of our effort to improve cloud security visibility and streamline risk management. While Lacework provided useful insights, we found that Wiz offered a clearer, more intuitive interface and better collaboration features, making it easier for both Security and Engineering teams to work together.
    The Security Graph and automated risk analysis in Wiz have been especially valuable, helping us quickly understand exposures and prioritise fixes. Overall, the transition to Wiz has improved how we manage security risks across our cloud environment.

    Return on Investment
    Forcepoint
    • 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.

    • Wiz has saved us a lot of money and headaches. It finds problems we didn't even know we had, like weak passwords and open ports. This helps us fix things before hackers can find them. It's like having a team of security experts working 24/7.
    • Plus, Wiz can fix some problems itself, saving us time and money. It's a great investment for our business.
    • Wiz has made our cloud much safer. It helps us find and fix problems quickly, which means we can focus on our core business. It's like having an extra layer of protection for our data and systems.
