Overall Satisfaction with Forcepoint Web Security

Forcepoint Web Security is being used company-wide for its web filtering gateway and security protection. It provides security protection and blocking against malicious and non-productive websites while enhancing network performance. It addresses social engineering, high bandwidth consumption, and third-party application download and installation.
  • Blocking malicious websites.
  • Manageable rules and policies.
  • Difficulty troubleshooting from alerts.
  • Poor search capabilities in reports.
  • It incorporated well in new business acquisitions. Users are adopting and accepting websites blockings.
  • It acts as the first layer of defense to protect our users.
I have used Bluecoat as a web security product. It's a robust tool with great features and manageable policies at a higher price. Forcepoint has compatible features but is more reasonable than Bluecoat.
I have used Bluecoat prior to Forcepoint Web Security. Bluecoat has a very easily manageable console and rich features. But it costs many times over Forcepoint. Forcepoint is suitable for a medium-size company with its reasonable cost and software application without the requirement of a hardware appliance. It provides a dependable gateway security web protection against social engineering websites.
