Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway Previous Solutions
I am also now starting to work on the McAfee Web Gateway and we are also working with Cisco. I am not particularly dealing with it. Forcepoint has still proven to be the best for me.

We are using multiple products. For an antivirus, we are using Symantec solution as well as Trend Micro. For our deep security, we are using IBM Deep Security. For our SIM product, we are using IBM Suite, as well as, for all other things, Cell Core for data DLP and DLK solutions. Predominantly, that's it. We are also using Forcepoint and a few other cloud-based web solutions.
However, we used something called CrowdStrike only as a validation solution for a very short period. Then immediately, we started migrating to Forcepoint.
CrowdStrike predominantly behaves like a sensor; it's not giving all the features of a proper web application firewall. We have to configure a bunch of things as a part of the CrowdStrike.

Cisco Web Security. The AD integration was lacking. The speed was also lacking.

I can't remember, but I think we used Blue Coat. We switched because at the time, most of the technology modules were embedded into one appliance in Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway, which is how you can reduce the number of boxes you would have in your server, which is really good. In terms of cost also, it was working out better for us.

We recently stopped using this product and migrated to Zscaler.

We used to use Blue Coat solutions but in the past couple of years, our business has turned to Forcepoint. Blue Coat Web Security is very easy to implement and configure, more so than Forcepoint.
I have also tried the cloud-based deployment of Forcepoint and it works well. It is very functional and very fine. However, we haven't sold any cloud-based subscriptions because our customers have all wanted on-premises solutions.

I am a reseller for many different types of security solutions, and I have a preference in favor of Forcepoint. There are downsides to other solutions that I have not encountered with Forcepoint, and moreover, the support in my region is massive.

The solution was used as a replacement to Microsoft TMG as well as meeting compliance requirements.
