The most valuable feature is the categorization, where you can allow general access to an application but limit specific features.

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 got a really good URL categorization database. It is simple to set up. It is also easy to use and quite intuitive. It has got a nice utility for troubleshooting.

Stability needs some improvement, we have on occasion experienced some delay when it is synchronized.

It's the support that's the problem because that's a different question from the product itself — it's the Achilles heel.

The Sandbox solution should be integrated with the NIST to handle whatever new vulnerabilities or new sites are identified as potential threats.

The deployment is a bit complex and it requires expertise to deploy, which is something that should be improved and made easier to do.

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.

We have had latency issues.

We are using a V10000 G3 appliance. It is just a proxy. It is just HTTP, FTP, and HTTPS. Now, as our website has developed and we are using rich time-connectivity protocols, the proxy doesn't have the ability to work with these protocols. It would be nice if the UDP feature was there for it to filter UDP traffic. It needs firewall capabilities for UDP filtering. Its upgrades can be quite complex, and they don't always go as per the plan. Its reporting could be a bit more granular.

The solution should be better able to support itself and operate faster. Sometimes the technical support team takes too long to respond.

I'd like to see the solution improve the banded optimization to offer more bandwidth control, similar to what is on offer with Blue Coat.

The performance issues in the product are an area of concern where improvements are required.
