Overall Satisfaction with Forcepoint Web Security

We have used Forcepoint (starting with Websense and Triton) for numerous years for URL filtering and web security across the organization to control and protect URL/Internet access across the organization. This product has met our needs. We are currently migrating to the cloud and investigating DLP.
  • Internet Filtering and Protection
  • Web Security Protection
  • Reporting ease of use
  • Development of stronger documentation to assist in reporting
  • Immediate reduction in liability
  • Reduced inappropriate bandwidth utilization
We have not reviewed other products within the past few years but we did look at Microsoft. Forcepoint has historically been a leader in its market space. They became stagnant for a while due to transitions, which caused us to start looking, but they have now come back with a stronger and more aggressive portfolio and are reemerging again as a leading force.
Forcepoint is well suited for the specific tasks that it performs, e.g. web and content filtering as well as web security. We are evaluating the other aspects of the Forcepoint toolsets to see how they enhance our portfolio. It is appropriate for all of our current scenarios.
