Considered Both Products	Barracuda Content Shield (discontinued) Thomas Baker, CFE, MBA Risk Advisory Senior Manager Chose Barracuda Content Shield (discontinued) Barracuda Content Shield was compared to this product and in our opinion was more robust and cost effective for our growing firm.

We want to be compliant and not lose any sensitive information. Incentivized Helpful?	Forcepoint DLP Verified User Anonymous Chose Forcepoint DLP I think Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention pales in comparison to the feature set you get with M365 (which is likely included in most corporations existing licensing!).

Brandon Smith Business Consultant Chose Forcepoint DLP I find Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention to be a superior product compared to the other two alternatives mentioned.

Tribett Requena Gerente de Proyectos Chose Forcepoint DLP Because it allows the creation of reports and statistics, risk assessment, real-time monitoring, fingerprints, machine learning, [and] a dictionary function--so good and useful. Incentivized Helpful? Bhuwan Chandra Business Development Manager Chose Forcepoint DLP I have evaluated CoSoSys but the reporting part did not hit the mark. Also, a high number of false positives was a concern for me. I need a predefined report which needs to be compatible with my compliance requirement, which was missing in CoSoSys.

HL Henry Luk Senior Information Security Analyst Chose Forcepoint DLP The products listed are currently being evaluated. Incentivized Helpful? John Keenan Director of Information Security Chose Forcepoint DLP Netskope, Digital Guardian. We've stuck with Forcepoint to limit the number of major architectural changes in a given year.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Forcepoint DLP We have tried out Office 365 and Trend Micro DLP but those solutions have not worked out as we hoped.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Forcepoint DLP Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Proofpoint has proven to be a superior product.

Incentivized Helpful? MH Mark Horste Director Information Services Chose Forcepoint DLP We selected Forcepoint DLP as we already were using their Web and Email filtering products.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Forcepoint DLP Websense has similar features to other DLP solutions. We selected Websense based upon other organizations' experiences. I cannot compare the negatives to Websense as we did not deploy any other vendor DLP solutions in the same scale. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Forcepoint DLP Websense, at the time, was the only content filtering solution to offer a hybrid option of on-prem and cloud services. We are up for renewal soon and will likely compare them to other vendors. Incentivized Helpful? Bill Rieger Network Engineer Chose Forcepoint DLP Websense gave us the best flexibility for our enterprise configuration and setup. It all does not take up anything on our computers when we use Websense one armed off our firewalls and routers. We found this very easy to set up and transparent to our users and network. The … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Forcepoint DLP We've been using Websense for as long as I've been at Heitman. I had a talk with Mimecast about email filtering but it's hard to find someone that does web, email, and DLP together; it doesn't make sense to have 3 different vendors. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Barracuda Content Shield (discontinued)	Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
Likelihood to Recommend	We are a healthcare organization so it is very important that we are HIPPA compliant with our data via email/web based. For non-medical related issues sometimes we get items we do need blocked by the program. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	-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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Easy to use Layout of program looks like an email so its easy to read and identify Helped many suspicious senders from getting into our system Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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.

Cons	Increased policy customization Filtering policy preferences Increased manual settings Incentivized Thomas Baker, CFE, MBA Risk Advisory Senior Manager Read full review	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Bill Rieger Network Engineer Read full review
Usability	I think the program is easy to use, I think there are more functions it can have or better ability to customize the layout so it doesn't look so plain Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	I have only had to call twice for access issues but it has been overall a normal experience. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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.

Return on Investment	Increased Reporting Times Threat Training time increase Policy enforcement increased time Incentivized Thomas Baker, CFE, MBA Risk Advisory Senior Manager Read full review	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.
