Overall Satisfaction with Forcepoint Web Security

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Forcepoint Web Security to protect our users and devices while they are on-campus. To extend that protection and simplify management, we are currently in the process of switching to the cloud variant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Powerful
Feature rich

Cons

Complex Management
Knowledge Base is hard to search

Return on Investment

Cheaper than replacing compromised devices
Saves time

Alternatives Considered

Forcepoint TRITON (Discontinued) and Forcepoint Email Security

Forcepoint Web Security is a much more robust web protection suite than TRITON, and much easier to manage once it is implemented.

Likelihood to Recommend

The cloud variant of Forcepoint Web Security can help you protect your end users and devices from malicious web content no matter where they are in a simplified manner. The on-prem variant can do this as well, but additional environment configuration is required. This product shouldn't replace endpoint protection as it doesn't take USB sticks or local files into account.
