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."I like the SaaS solution they're offering now a little bit more. It's a new product but it's easy to install and configure."
"The Forcepoint tool is well developed. It is ranked in many evaluations at the top when it comes to enterprise DLP solutions. It has good artificial intelligence that enables our customers to focus on specific incidents, instead of having a complicated list of uncategorized incidents."
"Another valuable feature is that it provides integration to things like Cloud Access Security Broker, which provides security around cloud applications."
"Technical support has been helpful."
"Some good features are basically its UAV Analytics engine. And even fingerprinting is really good in Forcepoint."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"Forcepoint DLP's most valuable feature is that it provides complete end-to-end security."
"It was mostly stable."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"What we find most valuable in Micro Focus Data Protector is that it provides Japanese data protection, for example, it protects information such as the full Japanese name, address, etc."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"It's a good product that's pretty easy to use."
"The tool's most valuable aspect is its ease of management. It was not complex. In terms of features, I can mention a couple of things. For example, if you need to restore a VM, you can do it with multiple streams in OpenText Data Protector, which is an advantage over Commvault, from what I've noticed, having worked with multiple tools. Another thing is the Oracle backups; configuring Oracle backups is much easier in OpenText Data Protector."
"I would like to see the product extended into the cloud as a single solution."
"Usually for the biome of a small company, like 50 users, setup takes more than one week."
"I am not able to get support directly from Forcepoint."
"An area for improvement for Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is its price. It would be good if they could offer better pricing."
"The deployment can be difficult."
"The post-optical character recognization feature could be improved because it only really works on documents with some length (at least three paragraphs)."
"The initial setup of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is of medium difficulty level."
"The solution's interface is still not user-friendly for some customers. So, its interface can be better."
"In general, you can say that Micro Focus Data Protector is behind in capabilities when compared with other backup solutions, such as Commvault, Symantec, NetBackup, but it is very strong for certain use cases such as array integration. We are using it in production even now. There should be some kind of cloud integration and archiving solutions. I think this is the area they need to focus on."
"The GUI could be updated. The GUI hasn't changed since version 6. It's on version 10 now. The reporting could also be better. Also, while Data Protector is excellent for backing up physical hardware, it needs more features for backing up VM images because many environments use hypervisor."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"Micro Focus are improving Data Protector with every new version and since we began undergoing training with the latest version we have not faced any real challenges yet. However, their support does need to be improved, in my opinion. In certain critical cases that we've had, they did not provide a satisfactory level of support."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"Virtualization."
"This solution is not scalable."
"We're not satisfied with the robustness and stability of the software since Micro Focus took it in-house. The GUI is one thing they could improve. It's still a bit archaic. Data Protector needs a more functional, user-friendly GUI."
