Cons
"The solution could improve by being more secure and have better integration.""The solution could include more integrations."

More Change Tracker Gen7 R2 Cons →

"They should provide more details on potential cyber threats.""It's a complicated firewall. Until you come to know the firewall inducers, most people don't like the firewall because the components for the firewall are a little bit complex. User-friendliness is a little bit tough. It needs to be user-friendly when creating policies, and pushing policies. Committing takes more time compared to Palo Alto.""Making this solution easier to use would be an improvement.""If I want to allow access to Facebook, yet not allow the user to access videos, then I am not able to do it with this product.""The security features need to be improved.""My team is looking for more throughput and better integration with our security framework.""The initial setup of the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall has areas that are difficult.""The solution needs to build upon its network functionality. It needs to be a bit smarter."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is a license required for this solution."
  • More Change Tracker Gen7 R2 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The big advantage of this solution is that we can select the right model for our requirements, which is not too expensive."
  • "I believe the licensing fee is for one year, three years, and five years, or something like that. If you wants to increase the support level from a simpler level to platinum, I think that there's a cost. There are differences between every kind of support, but I don't know the numbers."
  • "We would love to take other solution from Forcepoint, but unfortunately the price is too high. That's why we are not considering using Forcepoing for our proxy and DLB. They have a very good DLB, but the matter in the end is the cost."
  • "Forcepoint is very expensive but it's really secure."
  • "It is expensive."
  • "The training that they offer to their end-customers. It's quite expensive, I believe it costs roughly $11,000"
  • "Everything in Forcepoint comes with an individual license, which is kind of a problem. In our last meeting, they said that it may change at the beginning of 2021, and they will try to merge some licenses together. Customers will get more features than what they got previously. We will wait and see."
  • "We have found the price could be reduced. It is a little expensive."

    Overview

    Change Tracker Gen7R2 solves IT Security and the problems that plague all organizations – the overwhelming noise of change control and ensuring the integrity of IT systems. Completely redesigned with both security and IT operations in mind, Change Tracker Gen7 R2 is the only solution designed to reduce change noise and the complexity of integrity monitoring and policy management all while allowing for unprecedented scalability and management that meets the most demanding enterprise environments.

    Gen7R2 enables organizations to:

    - Define the systems that need protection

    - Ensure those systems are secured, compliant and fit for purpose at all times

    - Provide intelligent change control to ensure systems remain in a ‘known secure and compliant state’

    - Enable organizations to move projects securely from Development to Operations

    Gen7 R2 integrates with leading Service desks and Change Management solutions to reconcile the changes that are actually occurring within your environment with those that were expected and part of an approved Request for Change. Security and IT Service Management (ITSM) have traditionally observed and managed change in two very different ways. By linking the changes approved and expected within the ITSM world with those that are actually happening from a security perspective, SecureOps is delivered and underpins effective, ongoing security and operational availability.

    With Gen7R2 you have the ability to reduce change noise by more than 90%, leaving only changes that are unknown, unwanted, unexpected or potentially malicious in nature for further investigation.

    Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is a versatile and comprehensive solution for perimeter security, offering features such as SD-WAN, IPS, VPN, and cloud or on-premises subscription keys.

    The product is praised for its simplicity, flexibility, complete feature set, scalability, and central management capabilities. Other valuable features include IPS, firewall, sandbox, application control, filtering, security management center, connectivity, and integration capabilities.
