    Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
    As the customer already had Microsoft Office 365 E5 license, it made sense to implement Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention instead of other products.

    -Where companies need to secure their attachment, which goes outside, means from their company to outside -Where companies need to ensure their client's personal information -Where companies need DLP. They need to look for Forcepoint only, as they have the upper hand over the rest of their competitors.

    I would highly recommend Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention for companies that are utilizing Microsoft technologies based on the strong integrations. If a company is using other technologies (e.g Google Workspace), then Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention would not be a good fit and would be difficult to implement/manage.

    Pros
    Forcepoint
    • It has predominantly protected us from unauthorized parties and has provided us with better visibility and control over our data.
    • This software has also successfully prevented us from both malicious and accidental tasks, which are quite flexible actions when it comes to the violation of data loss prevention policies.
    • This product has been successful in improving compliance and even mitigating compliance violations, which further facilitated IT security.
    • I think there is room for improvement, as the user interface is slightly rough and difficult to adopt in the beginning. The software also hangs up at a few instances, which leads to some wasting of time and annoyance, but other than that, this software is good. The technical staff should work on the complexities for a better user experience.

    • Automatic labeling, once we've trained the naming conventions and things like that and we get the labels placed on things. One of the biggest problems that our clients face is the fact that they don't particularly know every single time exactly the data that they're trying to protect, how to identify it when it comes into the system or when they create it, right? So we're using Purview and we're using the abilities that Purview has to auto-label things based off of either taxonomy that you have produced or created or that have been automatically populated through AI. That makes it a lot easier and kind of thwarts possible user error that causes problems for organizations.

    Cons
    Forcepoint
    • Forcepoint technical support--specially for users who go with essential support--is challenging to get support on time. You need the ticket to be raised long beforehand to get support from TAC. However, in the case of enterprise support, its is not like this technical person will come on a priority basis.
    • However it comes with higher prices, especially for SMB, it is allowed to pay that amount for support only.

    • Overall, Microsoft DLP is not my number one choice because there's not much flexibility. There's a lot of restrictions and the way they set up rules a lot really restrictive. Thus it takes a lot more time for my team to build the rules and establish the controls as needed. So it's very clunky in that way and they have not improved it over the years, but I know they're trying to get a better, however it takes time because Microsoft, as we all knows, not a really security centric company.

    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.

    Usability
    Forcepoint
    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.

    Support Rating
    Forcepoint
    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.

    There are much more comprehensive and granular DLP solutions out there like Trellix and Sophos but ultimately they are expensive and require significant administrative oversight for implementation and deployment. For a company of our size, they are just not economically feasible. We purchased out 365 E5 tenant with Purview DLP integration from a reseller at a price that we couldn't compete with vs a standalone enterprise product.

    Return on Investment
    Forcepoint
    • The exchange of financial documents with customers creates extreme risk as data loss could result in financial and reputation damage to the customer. The cost of deploying Forcepoint is fractions of pennies compared to the potential financial impact of data loss.
    • There is some administrative overhead associated as false positives are inevitable, requiring a manual review and a potential loss of productivity.

    • It has helped us to prevent data breaches and protect them from data loss.
    • It has strong visibility on the activities related to data copy to and from removable devices.
    • It can easily enforce the policies on group of users and also exclude some in the exclusions
