What differentiates Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention from other similar products?

This Forcepoint endpoint DLP has Granular Data Fingerprinting, Customizable DLP Policies, Data Discovery Across Cloud Services, Detection of Hidden Data and Integration with Forcepoint Security Fabric to achieve hybrid workforce as well.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of this products are customizable DLP policies and the data discovery. that too will only initiate the scan when the system is idle and will not initiate the scan if the CPU utilization goes 50 above. The Forensics are very clear and accurate with the original attachment in place.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Their on-premises DLP architecture is distributed, whereas other vendors offer a single granular platform. However, Forcepoint's endpoint DLP modules, such as the endpoint server, crawler, and OCR, require dedicated servers for deployment. Additionally, to achieve data security for roaming users, it is necessary to deploy an additional server called the Supplement server.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Evaluate your needs and consider the advantage ,most importantly explore the needs

Pros
