We performed a comparison between Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention and OpenText Data Protector based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Forcepoint offers many policies that conform to global DLP best practices, including requirements specific to regions like the Middle East, Europe, etc. They have a policy database in their product. That feature is unique to Forcepoint. Their AI and fingerprinting are incredibly effective and robust. We have tested it multiple times. It always catches the correct data being leaked."
"The technical support for the solution is very good."
"With OCR and Risk Analysis, we are able to determine if anything sensitive is been shared. OCR helps us to safeguard those things and with risk ranking, we can determine which user is trying to violate policies multiple times even though they have been blocked to him or her."
"It was mostly stable."
"This solution has a great encryption feature."
"The ease of configuration was probably one of its biggest selling points."
"A very user-friendly predefining feature."
"One of the most valuable features is the set of built-in policies that Forcepoint has for PCI compliance. We just need to activate them and start working. Without them, it would be a big task to do a data transformation."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"Data Protector's granular recovery features make it easy for us to create and restore backups in an understandable and user-friendly manner. With granular recovery, any database or even just a database table can be restored at will."
"It's a good product that's pretty easy to use."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"I am not able to get support directly from Forcepoint."
"This solution has a tendency to provide false-positive results."
"It should integrate better with email."
"I would like to see the product extended into the cloud as a single solution."
"There's zero Forcepoint presence in West Africa. Customers typically like having these things close to them. It would help if they had a presence here. Right now, Forcepoint West Africa has been administered from South Africa. Because of this, customers can't access premium support in our region."
"I can't push a report by a certain organizational entity or unit without a lot of work. The reporting could be better."
"Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention can improve by having an uninstall option for the client or restart of a client agent can be controlled from the server. This feature is missing which is available with other solutions."
"You have to monitor the solution all the time."
"In SAP restoration, we faced issues with changing the SIDs and changing the path for every backup object. It is quite a lengthy process to do that."
"If you compare the solution with the same specific features and enhancements on another solution, Data Protector is expensive. This is especially true when compared to, for example, Veeam."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"We have so many specific technological cracks in Micro Focus, but we are not getting the features, facilities, or coordination between the global delivery centers and the R&D team that we need to express our ideas."
"The technical support was very slow."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"It has a lot of undeveloped functions like window searching and patent searching, and within the main backup processes like VMware and Microsoft Exchange. It's completely not user-friendly, and it has no built-in antivirus software. In my opinion, Micro Focus Data Protector is not an enterprise level solution."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say integrations with MongoDB. We use MongoDB and we need to go to scripts to do backups. We need more integrations."
