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 core of its value lies in obtaining logs remotely and exercising control over what employees can or cannot use."
"One unique feature is drive encryption. We have portable devices, and they have a password vault. If you transfer any data to your device, you can use the password vault to protect it."
"Compared to a lot of the USB management systems out there, Endpoint Protector is the only one that comes with true USB management and the DLP side of it. I'm pretty impressed because I've used several solutions with DLP and USB management, and I've never seen granularity like this solution has."
"The most valuable feature is device control."
"I like the data protection feature. Our users were working on a client's CRM application with a lot of client-related EIA information. We did not want the users to be able to send any of this data outside. I also like its ability to protect against data leaks via emails and social media. I like that you can deploy it quickly, and it requires no training."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to support Linux operating systems."
"The most valuable features are the ability to prevent access to external devices, and also site blocking."
"There are effectively two areas of DLP to look at from a technical perspective. One is how it performs the pickup of information traversing the system and the other is how the policy engine, which analyzes the data, works. On the first aspect, CoSoSys is probably best of breed for macOS because they're reasonably well-integrated into the operating system. They're looking at the file system operations level, not at the execution level."
"Some good features are basically its UAV Analytics engine. And even fingerprinting is really good in Forcepoint."
"We don't require a lot of downtime, but when we do then we are getting proper support with no issue."
"Regardless of the size of your company, this solution can be scaled accurately."
"I did not experience any crashes. The solution has been stable in my usage."
"It was mostly stable."
"We like the ability to customize our requirements and rules, as well as its ease of use and management. It also has a cloud feature and proxy functionality."
"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."
"A very user-friendly predefining feature."
"One of the areas where there is room for improvement is support. It takes time for them to respond. They need to respond on time. Instead of sending an email, I think it would be very helpful to say, 'Let's set up a WebEx to see what's really going on,' instead of the back and forth of email."
"Customization could be a lot better."
"Endpoint Protector would be improved with more DLP templates."
"It would be helpful if they offered discounted pricing for long-term contracts to serve customers who are interested in committing for periods of three years, five years, or longer."
"The only aspect that prevents it from being a perfect solution is the occasional slower response time."
"Sometimes, it should try to focus on one thing rather than multiple things. Endpoint Protector does device control very well, which is why we use that particular function."
"The policy engine could use a bit of work. They're definitely going in the right direction. We've been working with them over the last few weeks to try and optimize that. But it's reasonably clear that they're just not putting as much effort into the policy engine as into other things, like content discovery."
"It needs to improve in terms of policy customization."
"The setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"The product is good, but the biggest issue is needing direct support from Forcepoint."
"The ease of deployment wasn't as flexible as Digital Guardian."
"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 deployment can be difficult."
"With respect to the discovery component, the reports are very hard to interpret because they come out in an illogical format."
"I am not able to get support directly from Forcepoint."
"The price could be reduced to be more cost, effective."
