We performed a comparison between CoSoSys Endpoint Protector and Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention 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.
"The most valuable feature is device control."
"The software is easy to use and the dashboard is intuitive."
"The console is friendly and it supports Mac."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to support Linux operating systems."
"There are a lot of features, but the main feature is that I can use a device serial number to unlock any particular machine or for all machines. If I have a phone, like a Samsung phone, I can whitelist that specific phone for full access wherever it is plugged into any of our devices. This is the same with a USB, because most USBs come in bulk and have the same serial number. I can then whitelist that particular USB to be read-write with full access."
"The role-based access features for the teams that administer it is good."
"It is fantastic in terms of the granularity of the policies. It has many built-in policies, and we can add or create more policies as well. It is perfect, and it gives us more options. We have some users who go outside and then come inside. With EPP, we can even control those users who are outside. If they need to access the media that we are using right now, we can provide OTP messages so that they can access the media even when they are outside of their organization. With our previous solution, we were facing some issues in doing this."
"The device control is a big deal for us because we can actually lock out removable drives and different types of hardware. It allows us to have better control over what end-users plug into their computers, and we can have deny lists and tighten our security posture."
"The initial setup process went well."
"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."
"Some good features are basically its UAV Analytics engine. And even fingerprinting is really good in Forcepoint."
"It's fast and it prepares loss reports."
"Forcepoint DLP's most valuable feature is that it provides complete end-to-end security."
"Stable and scalable solution for data protection. It offers good technical support, and has no major installation issues."
"The most valuable feature of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is the OCR."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it captures where the data is being moved."
"Endpoint Protector, in particular, had some features to be desired for the Mac operating system."
"There are times when the server needs to be updated, and it would help if I got a notification for when the newest version comes out, because at the moment, I'm going in every now and then and checking. Sometimes it comes out and I didn't know it had come out."
"We are using it to only apply media restrictions. When we are installing a new agent, we have to install EPP manually on a device. It would be great if the installations can be done from the server instead of me going to each PC or device to implement EPP or using a policy. They should have some sort of system so that a domain admin can install EPP on all PCs from a central manager."
"They have many predefined classifiers in terms of data identifiers, and they should improve this."
"This product provides zero-day protection for macOS, although I'm currently dealing with an issue on the most recent rollout of the Endpoint client that doesn't seem to be fully functioning."
"The only aspect that prevents it from being a perfect solution is the occasional slower response time."
"The reports and analysis could be improved. There could be a little more data, and the logs could be a little more granular, but it's nothing major. It does what it needs to do, and it's fine."
"Because it is only an Endpoint Protector at this point in time, it does not have a network DLP component. There's only an endpoint DLP component. In the future, it would be good if a network DLP component could be embedded and extended to have network DLP capabilities."
"The ease of deployment wasn't as flexible as Digital Guardian."
"When you automatically try to upgrade the agent it causes problems."
"Lacks the ability to control the USB port devices so that content coming out of the port is blocked."
"The initial setup is a bit complex. You will need help from the peer support team in the configuration."
"Usually for the biome of a small company, like 50 users, setup takes more than one week."
"You have to monitor the solution all the time."
"My opinion is that the dashboard could be improved and made more user-friendly. They do not enable a wide range of proper inquiries and we need to identify much of what we need on our own, like incident severity."
"The product is good, but the biggest issue is needing direct support from Forcepoint."
