Overall Satisfaction with Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is used in our organization to protect sensitive data from being sent digitally to other users either inside or outside of our organization from corporate devices. We use this in tandem with the Forcepoint endpoint protection as an all-in-one security suite to protect our users and our devices.

Pros

  • N/A, in our experience, the version of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention we used was bulky, difficult to install, and didn't meet our requirements well enough.

Cons

  • Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention -- customization in what we want to protect
  • In our experience, the client installed on computers is difficult, if not impossible, to fully uninstall
  • Negative -- took an immense amount of work and disruption to uninstall from all endpoints
  • Negative -- much more expensive than competitors for the feature suite you get in return
For us, Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention was difficult to administer, did not work well when it did work, was incredibly expensive for the feature set you get, and was difficult to uninstall when we moved on from the software. Once it was fully set up, it worked occasionally for us.
I think Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention pales in comparison to the feature set you get with M365 (which is likely included in most corporations existing licensing!). We moved on from Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention to implement Microsoft's solution instead.

Do you think Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention's feature set?

No

Did Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention go as expected?

No

Would you buy Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention again?

No

The version of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention that we used internally was inadequate for our purposes. It was expensive, was limited in scope, and when we stopped using the product it was very difficult to fully uninstall from all of our endpoint devices.
