Both versatile and robust Firewall

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall from other similar products?

Clearly, our systems now feel safer than they did before the implementation of the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall application. I can continue to be protected by this firewall while working remotely. Forcepoint is incredibly quick compared to other security systems I've used and makes sure we are absolutely safe in every situation, whether we are working from our office or home.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is both versatile and robust. Additionally, they offer excellent services. It takes only a few minutes to set up a new device. Both the content review and the speedy classification changes for new sites are excellent. With Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall technology, I feel that my security requirements are being satisfied, and it is really smart.

What do you dislike most about this product?

When contrasted to other firewalls, its UI is complicated. Our team members who have less knowledge always complain that the management interface is not clean and intuitive, and we have to assist them in using it. It requires a short period of time before becoming simple to use or manage.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I advise users to test it; undoubtedly you'll like this one. These firewalls perform all necessary functions and then some. This system is clearly the finest choice for any demanding environment, and it excels at streamlining processes and automating security inspections. ForcePoint is surprisingly quick at identifying and resolving security problems.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Efficient Service

One of my top picks

10 /10

What differentiates Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall from other similar products?

Because it was ideally built to meet all of my security needs and, above all, because it allows me to alter its features and settings in the way that best suits my requirements, Forcepoint Next-Generation Firewall has become my choice and one of my top picks. Its straightforward and inexpensive pricing plan sets it apart from its competitors.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

With Forcepoint Next-Generation Firewall technology we were able to automate manual evaluations performed by us and the IT risk management team manually. Aside from that, it gives us the ability to swiftly react to any unusual behavior as well as also support us in the timely rectification of detected issues. Another area where we have been able to bring value is by assisting corporate security with thorough investigations through powerful data analysis.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The UI was a little clumsy, and the automation possibilities were restricted. The central controller appears to be riddled with flaws but in the most recent version, all of these issues have been removed. The inclusion of the SMC WebUI in its release took far too long. It's finally available, and I'm excited to upgrade to this version.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

As I previously said, it is one of my top picks, I have complete faith in its security. My recommendation is that you implement it, as it will provide unbreakable security for your company. And there is no need to employ an expert during setup because it has opened its heart to help you fix and set up things that best suit your needs and organization's architecture.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Unique Features

Wisely built to meet all of my security needs

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall from other similar products?

We can now use its sophisticated analytics across our entire organization to provide value to our various divisions. I loved having an impregnable security system in our company that allowed us to create detailed risk studies that were more thorough than purposive selection and ensured total security without a single or minor flaw.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Overall security, IT risk management, security operations, and organizational data security, have all been transformed thanks to this more advanced Forcepoint Next-Generation Firewall technology. I also like this Platform because it not only helps us in endpoint and data transmission protection but also supports an examination of anomalous transactions, enabling data extraction, and improving reporting and audit rule definitions.

What do you dislike most about this product?

When the firewall loses connectivity, we must restore the initial settings, which takes time that could be spent on something more important. And their support personnel, who helped us when we were implementing, are less skilled and have a knowledge gap since they are not fully aware of their product specs.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall is a great and reliable security system that will astound you with its performance, capabilities, and ease with which you can create rules that meet your needs. Installing this Security Management console is really simple. And it also gives you the ability to combine a log server and a management server into a single panel to fully simplify your work.

Pros

  • Performance Enhancing
  • Efficient Service
  • Client Friendly Policies
  • Altruistic
