What differentiates Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway from other similar products?

We feel safe under the security umbrella of Forcepoint Secure Web SWG solution because it continuously analyzes web traffic and averts dangers. It aids in preventing shadow IT, blocking rogue websites, monitoring web activity, and creating bypass rules. Additionally, we can filter reports to particular websites, online categories, or personnel using its monitoring interface.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Forcepoint Secure Web SWG solution can be easily integrated with additional security products we use in our organization like analysis tools, and anti-malware software. Additionally, it encompasses cloud and on-premises environments. As a result, we are able to use this solution along with our current security measures. It helps us increase the return on our security investments.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I believe their stuff was good overall. I believe they omitted to provide features. It did not have as many features as comparable products. The lack of features, simply because they hadn't kept up, was, in my opinion, the worst issue. Too often, connections using the proxy just didn't function properly.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Using a Forcepoint Secure Web SWG solution is superior for traffic visualization and control because it has more sophisticated features and advanced flexibility to give you the entire control. It can continuously log events and keep tabs on all network activity. By establishing some restrictions and boundaries throughout the network with Forcepoint, security risks can be avoided.

Reliable but sophisticated platform

What differentiates Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway from other similar products?

Forcepoint is ideal. Its great features and better functionality are its selling strengths. Its improved functionality and strong features are its selling points. The fact that it, like other platforms, does not require human attention to conduct security chores made it ideal. It means that we are not only safe but also free of all time-consuming and difficult security operations, allowing us to focus on the most vital tasks.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

To guarantee that our personal and organizational data is not compromised, or at risk when stretched and scattered in multiple places, its DLP security capabilities always stay active and managed. It comes with very special attributes such as a unified dashboard for central management, extensive data exploration power, cloud, risk-adaptive safety, OCR, and heterogeneous network & endpoint security features that are all my favorite.

What do you dislike most about this product?

When it comes to its simplicity, I believe they accomplished nothing as if only an expert can use and master it; it is not for less-skilled people, as it frees personas from boring skills, but maintaining it and ensuring that it is functioning demands a high degree of competence.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You should consider it as a secure web gateway that will not only give you total security but will also increase your productivity by keeping you away from highly complex security problems and their remediation because everything can be done automatically.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Trustworthy

Sophisticated secure web gateway

8 /10

What differentiates Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway from other similar products?

All of our data loss protection, cloud access security, email security, malware protection, and other techniques may be managed easily from a single central panel which is a great benefit for us. All of these qualities not only make it a comprehensive but also a one-of-a-kind system on the market, and they also relieve users of the stress of difficult maintenance and management.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Because fingerprinting attacks can be identified with great precision, the method can also defend against less obvious threats. Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway also provides a built-in strong DLP system to safeguard our data whenever it is at risk or when we accidentally lose it due to human errors. The user interface is simple to comprehend, use, and handle. It's one of my favorites because it intelligently finds and eliminates threats.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Overall, I believe the product is reliable, powerful, functional, and ready to put in place. They didn't seem to add advanced features, in my opinion. It didn't add as many new features as comparable products. The main issue, in my opinion, was a lack of customization functionality that restricted us to do more with it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Be wary of the add-ons, as well as the many packages available. I'd recommend communicating the needs or scope with Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway so that they are aware of the work features needed to expand for better security.

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
