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 the endpoint DLP. It's specific to copying to the USB or copying to the internal storage in our office."
"The ease of configuration was probably one of its biggest selling points."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"Regardless of the size of your company, this solution can be scaled accurately."
"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."
"This solution has a great encryption feature."
"The scalability is fantastic. One of the things that I like about Forcepoint is that I can customize the solution to suit my objectives."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"Regarding scalability, it's unlimited with Data Protector. You can link multiple installations and let them work together. They can share backup devices. You have many possibilities with Data Protector. It's very proficient."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"Micro Focus Data Protector's most valuable feature is its interaction with the fiber share. It is easy to use, we use it to back up without any problem to VTLs, and can use the Fiber Channel that is still the TCP."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"The tool needs to integrate data classification."
"In terms of display, the support and the Mac platform requires a lot of improvement."
"An area for improvement in Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is the complex UI and policy deployment. You have to find the policies, and then designing the policies is also tricky."
"The solution's interface is still not user-friendly for some customers. So, its interface can be better."
"Everything takes a long time, as it does in every software company, especially since COVID. That is something I notice with every product I use."
"Usually for the biome of a small company, like 50 users, setup takes more than one week."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex. You will need help from the peer support team in the configuration."
"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."
"Virtualization."
"The solution is not intuitive enough. I think they should work on the user experience and the graphical interface. These can be a lot better."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"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."
"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."
"Many of our users complain about the GUI. You still need to rely on the command line interface. Because it originated as a Unix system, Data Protector is still a command line-driven solution, which makes it seem rather dated compared to systems that are built around a GUI from day one. It doesn't affect the functionality, but some people don't find it user-friendly."
