We performed a comparison between Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention and Zscaler DLP 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 has been the leader in the space for many years and they, are very well established, and mature."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support has been helpful."
"Regardless of the size of your company, this solution can be scaled accurately."
"The technical support for the solution is very good."
"This solution has a great encryption feature."
"The most valuable aspect of Zscaler Cloud DLP is its automatic DLP feature."
"On DLP terms, Zscaler Cloud DLP ensures that data doesn't go outside of the organization. So on the network level, Zscaler does a pretty good job."
"The product’s most valuable features are data discovery, activity control, and zero trust exchange."
"The solution is the best for storage."
"The policies are very easy to implement."
"It's one of the easier products on the market as far as set-ups and deployments. Even across their whole product suite, they've made it pretty simple."
"Its impressive scalability allows the combination of multiple dictionaries and using them as one engine, resulting in narrower data loss gaps."
"The UI is easy to use."
"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."
"There is no support for the Bangla (Bengali) language, so we cannot use the Forcepoint technology for Bangla documents."
"It should integrate better with email."
"The deployment and troubleshooting aspects of Forcepoint need improving."
"One area that could be improved is the support. The current support is not very good. Because they don't come on time when a customer really needs it, they take a lot of time to troubleshoot anything."
"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."
"I'd like the data classification to be better."
"Price-wise, it is a costly product and it should be reduced."
"There could be additional ways to define proximity. Additionally, they should provide some exclusion options for specific policies and an ability to control the DLP engine."
"The only issue with Zscaler Cloud DLP is that it only gives you DLP protection from web traffic, which is flowing out, while a full-blown DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec gives you DLP coverage for multiple channels. Zscaler Cloud DLP doesn't give you coverage for email, fax, and USB channels, and this is the only challenge or room for improvement in the solution. It's just an extension on top of what you're buying on the proxy, so it's just an added layer, and it doesn't cover DLP on a very broad level. I'm unsure if Zcaler is in the business of competing with a full-blown DLP solution, and if there's a plan to expand the features of Zscaler Cloud DLP beyond the web channel because you'll have to deploy a full-blown agent for it. I'm unsure if this is on the cards because the solution is just an added layer that you get with your proxy. I've asked the Zcaler team whether there's a plan to go full DLP in the future, but I didn't get a positive response. There isn't any feature I'd like added to Zscaler Cloud DLP currently, because anything you could think of that should be in cloud or SaaS solutions is already there, except for machine learning, as it's the only functionality that seems to be lacking in the solution. Machine learning is an additional policy available in other DLP solutions in the market, but my team didn't find it in Zscaler Cloud DLP."
"We have issues with the tool's maintenance and networking. It should be able to work in offline mode as well."
"In the next release, I would like to see RE2 Regex supported."
"The tool must provide IP-blocking features."
"The product must allow users to check logs for an entire year in the local console."
"There aren't really any missing features that I have witnessed."
