Pros | |
The most valuable feature of Forcepoint Web Security is creating the easy to install further policies that are deployed through the Forcepoint security manual at some stage. Just drag and drop and the policies are there. It has protected clients against cyberattacks. Giving visibility to people's actions in the network, while keeping attackers out: across data centers, offices, branches, and the cloud. Most valuable features are content filtering and monitoring. Ease of updating the latest hotfixes and patches on the appliance. Transparent Mode: Since we have multiple sites and roaming users, it has helped us in deploying the proxy to users without having to push any configurations to end users. Ability to send decrypted traffic to other security solutions for inspection. Real-time analytics. | With the model we have, we are able to scale very easily if we need to. The most important features for us are preventing DDOS DNS attacks. |
Cons | |
The firewall doesn't have any features because some customers are requesting they will install the firewall without licensing. At this time we cannot go further without licensing. Licensing is a must with Forcepoint Web Security firewalls. Ease of use could be improved. There are several issues with the product. Version 8.4 can only be managed with a CLI, they removed the nice GUI interface from version 8.1. The load-balancing needs massive improvements. The incident lists don’t sync between appliances, they need to be manually edited for each one. Improve detailed guidelines to deploy the transparent proxy to Firefox users. Security of browsing. The reporting could be improved. Database synchronization failures Allow for faster exemption of websites or the ability to reclassify websites. | The dashboard and reporting features need improvement. The user needs more informative dashboards so they can get to the results directly without getting deep in the report to get to the information. Endpoint solutions need to improved. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
