Websense DSS

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Websense Data Security Suite was used to monitor users to detect transmission of company confidential documents. The DSS solution was fairly successful in this effort and helped us to detect many violations of our corporate policies. The cautions for this product are scalability and reliability. The DSS product seems to have issues scaling above 8000 to 10000 nodes.

Pros

  • Keyword matching is very good.
  • Large list of applications that can be monitored.
  • Reporting is very user friendly.

Cons

  • We had issues scaling the management environment to over 10,000 nodes.
  • We had many false positives with the fingerprinting technology.
  • The agent can be a large drag on endpoints.

Likelihood to Recommend

The product seems to be more suited to mid size and small businesses than to large enterprises.
