Vanta seems excellent for startups, but I expect that they would be even more useful at bigger companies. I think it really helps people that haven't done SOC2 before. I also think it would help in monitoring compliance across teams with many users. If the budget is extremely tight, I think it would be possible to save money by not using it.

• The Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention Endpoint module is applied to secure data being used at endpoints, like from Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft capabilities, also other functions like email and FTP, Active Sync, etc. It secures the data in use at the endpoint.
• The Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention Network Module is applied for the traffic being used in network capabilities like email, FTP, and web. It also secures the data on the move in the network.
• Forcepoint Data Discover--the capability to discover the data which is sensitive for the organization and lies across the network; with the discovery tool, we can define the data, which is important based on regulatory and compliance risk.
• OCR (optical character recognition) capabilities also come with the Data Discover Module, by which we can see the embedded text inside the image and that helps to prevent sensitive data theft.

• Integrations with source control and infrastructure providers.
• Guidance around what makes a company's policy secure.

• Remote filtering is not as advanced as we would like.
• Support time is not as quick as needed in most cases.
• Upgrades of appliances and software is not as easy as other solutions.
• HTTPS inspection needs to hand a valid cert and doesnt work correctly with all vendors.

• Alerts and employee onboarding and offboarding were not entirely complete when we started using the product.
• It would be nice if we could assign policies to specific people in the Vanta app.
• Sometimes, refreshing the tests when you make the changes to pass takes a little more time than desired.

We have been fairly happy with the product and how it has worked. We have looked at other vendors for url filter and such and have not found one that meets our needs or does what we have been doing with Websense. The product has been fairly stable and we have only had a few issues in the past. We have all seen that it was one of the highest leaders from the Gartner Group Magic Quadrant for Web Gateways.

Great to maintain for our SOC2 compliance and further compliance evolutions

For us, Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention was difficult to administer, did not work well when it did work, was incredibly expensive for the feature set you get, and was difficult to uninstall when we moved on from the software. Once it was fully set up, it worked occasionally for us.

In my experience, the sheer volume of tasks and to do items is a bit inundating.

Support from Forcepoint has been lacking. When calling in with a high priority issue we rarely are able to work with a technician immediately. The queue waits are very long and when you get through there are no support engineers available and we need to wait for a call back for hours it seems.

User friendly solution that makes it easy to deploy and manage. Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention very effective to protecting our valuable data on endpoints and where data lives like in the Cloud, server and on-premises disk drives and its valuable to just set policies once and start utilizing Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention solution.

Osano and Vanta both meet our requirements at a comparable rate. When comparing quality of ongoing product support, we felt that Vanta is the preferred option. For feature updates and roadmaps, we preferred the direction of Osano over Vanta.

• The capability of this tool to update in real time has saved a lot of time and even saved a lot of energy for researching.
• The exchange of financial information related to customers builds up an extreme risk of data loss, which can be damaging to the customer.

• In my experience, they aren't really helpful after all. They ended causing more problems when documents went missing on our trust page. They caused us some embarrassment when we referred people to a mostly empty page.
• They are now attempting to, in my opinion, force us to renew service.
