"Forcepoint is a little difficult to configure compared to its competitors."
"Its management center should be easier to use. The management interface of Forcepoint is unique and a little bit different from some of the firewall solutions on which people might have worked before. Sometimes, the customers say that it is not very friendly, and we help them with how to use this management interface. It just takes a little bit of time, and after some time, it gets easy to manage or use. It is quite similar to Palo Alto, Fortinet, and legacy Juniper solutions. Their support should be faster. We have received complaints that they are not responding fast, which is not good for the vendor and us."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."
"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."
