Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway Reviews

• SSL Inspection
• Ability to send decrypted traffic to other security solutions for inspection.

It allowed us to analyze the decrypted SSL web traffic for malware.

Security of browsing.

Seven years.

Yes. When we first began working with it, the product was not mature and we had performance issues.

Now, the product is quite stable.

No.

Good, because we have a MCS (mission critical support) level.

Good, especially for the second line.

No.

It was complex with a lot of technical issues.

We implemented it with a skilled vendor team.

Not applicable.

It is quite expensive.

Yes, Blue Coat and McAfee.

Primary use is as web proxies for a government agency.

This product improved the security of web traffic in our environment.

Most valuable features were content filtering and monitoring. As a government agency, it is highly important that the internet is being used for appropriate reasons and we need to track inappropriate behavior.

There were 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.

Web Proxy deployment in transparent mode with data loss prevention (DLP) and protocol based filtering.

• Transparent mode implementation
• Detect threats on SSL traffic
• Multiple customization options to allow or block a specific content within the web pages has allowed us to simplify the user experience without loss of productivity.
• 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.

• FTP access via transparent proxy
• SSL Certificate updates
• Detailed guidelines to deploy the transparent proxy to Firefox users.

One of the main features I have found the solution to be efficient.

I have been using the solution for approxmately five years.

We have not had any big issues installing the solution.

The solution is priced a little high compare to similar solutions.

When evaluating this solution to others it is one of the best.

I rate Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway a seven out of ten.

None.

Queries can be slow on multiple terabyte databases.

There is room for improvement.

Their lead technical engineers are excellent.

I have used SurfControl and Websense. I have also tried Zscaler.

It went as planned.

In-house.

Not documented.

Do your homework and base it on facts.

Looked at open tender for all products and evaluated all current products at the time.

It was the best solution available when selecting a product.

• It has improved our services.
• It has protected clients against cyberattacks.
• It has created more and better end user experiences.

• Protection against ransomware.
• Giving visibility to people's actions in the network, while keeping attackers out: across data centers, offices, branches, and the cloud.

Ease of use could be improved.

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