Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway Stability
Sometimes we do face issues with hiccups in latency. There could be hiccups in, for example, the user setup or the user education part, however, after that, it's okay. It’s not very often we have any issues.
The product has been working fine for the previous seven to eight months, but before that, my company suffered a lot because of the downtime and performance issues in the tool.
The tool is stable and flexible. The stability depends completely on the administrator who manages and deploys the policy. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

The stability is okay. The performance is also very good. The threat handling is almost near real-time, and even notifications and reporting happen fast so that we can take corrective actions. Overall, the experience was good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

With stability, the only thing is that that policy synchronization is sometimes delayed, but not much of a delay.
Generally with Forcepoint documentation, whenever we want to change anything on the policy level on the cloud console, it can take 10 to 15 minutes to update the endpoint machine, but generally, it will be updated in one or two minutes.
That is not a challenge, but sometimes it's taking more than 15 minutes.
Forcepoint is also performing some back-end activity to update the Cloud Security console, and they are experiencing some downtime. It will be a total of 12-hours to make some changes to the cloud environment that they also pushed the mail to his customer, whoever is using the Cloud Web Security component. So, they're going to upgrade the solution for the specific region. Region-wise, they mentioned for example the India region or any other region. With this specific region, the server going to update, which might be impacted.
They will have a 12-hour downtime, and after that, the stability will be resolved.

It has good architecture. It has an architecture where I have the policy brokers, policy severs, and content creation, as well as an integrated reporting module with a reporting database. I have a team building products with me, including OEM software. When it comes to Forcepoint, it's a very reliable solution.

My organization had some issues with Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway, where sometimes it behaves differently, though it could be version related. The solution has some stability issues, though not very severe so I would rate its stability as seven out of ten. It had minor issues that didn't cause a massive breakdown.

There is one issue with Forcepoint that you can't communicate directly with the update. You must have something called the management center to communicate. For Cisco you can communicate directly. With Forcepoint you cannot communicate directly

The solution is stable with hybrid as it provides high availability. For example, if your on-premises gateways and your data centers have disconnectivity of power, the cloud gateway still enforces web traffic if you have a hybrid version.

It is stable. That said, at times we do get complaints from customers. Some of the government and banking sites not being accessible via cloud proxy. At times it is required to bypass them or route it through different data centers. Though Forcepoint has no say in some websites restricting the access if they can out with a solution to detect and bypass or redirect the traffic through a working data center it will add further value.

If you are testing any firewalls, there is no downtime with Forcepoint Web Security. We can directly upgrade our firewalls and we can remove the old plans. We can apply newer plans without any downtime.

Right now, Forcepoint is stable. Before, when it was on-prem, it wasn't stable at all. We needed to restart it and reload it many times.

Forcepoint is stable but not 100%. This solution is Websense-based and because of structure, there is some instability. In general, if it is implemented properly then it will be stable.
