What differentiates Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway from other similar products?

Forcepoint Secure Web is a perfect choice for our company because it has made us able to quickly and simply deploy a safe web gateway for our company, shielding our vital assets and personnel from online dangers. This system is very simple to configure and manage. I suggest that users must implement this best-in-class secure online gateway for their company today to stop web-based threats.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Forcepoint Secure Web SWG has blown me away with its capabilities when I used it for regulating conformity and hostile actions with privacy standards to prevent human mistakes. Forcepoint Secure Web SWG is also drastically helped to guarantee that each employee only visits areas that are approved for use in connection with work.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I was aware that web sockets needed to be handled in some fashion because there was nothing we could do to avoid it. This had several layers, and our clients found it quite difficult to pinpoint those issues. No method existed for effectively troubleshooting connections without making the user put in a lot of effort.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Forcepoint Secure Web SWG enables you to better manage and safeguard your network. Additionally, SWG will also be helpful for you if you have a distributed workforce with workers and contractors operating from any location in the world because you may deploy it there and provide your team with a virtual and safe setting.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Trustworthy
  • Inspires Innovation

Best-in-class secure online gateway

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway from other similar products?

We feel safe under the security umbrella of Forcepoint Secure Web SWG solution because it continuously analyzes web traffic and averts dangers. It aids in preventing shadow IT, blocking rogue websites, monitoring web activity, and creating bypass rules. Additionally, we can filter reports to particular websites, online categories, or personnel using its monitoring interface.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Forcepoint Secure Web SWG solution can be easily integrated with additional security products we use in our organization like analysis tools, and anti-malware software. Additionally, it encompasses cloud and on-premises environments. As a result, we are able to use this solution along with our current security measures. It helps us increase the return on our security investments.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I believe their stuff was good overall. I believe they omitted to provide features. It did not have as many features as comparable products. The lack of features, simply because they hadn't kept up, was, in my opinion, the worst issue. Too often, connections using the proxy just didn't function properly.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Using a Forcepoint Secure Web SWG solution is superior for traffic visualization and control because it has more sophisticated features and advanced flexibility to give you the entire control. It can continuously log events and keep tabs on all network activity. By establishing some restrictions and boundaries throughout the network with Forcepoint, security risks can be avoided.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Effective Service
  • Inspires Innovation
  • Saves Time

Reliable but sophisticated platform

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway from other similar products?

Forcepoint is ideal. Its great features and better functionality are its selling strengths. Its improved functionality and strong features are its selling points. The fact that it, like other platforms, does not require human attention to conduct security chores made it ideal. It means that we are not only safe but also free of all time-consuming and difficult security operations, allowing us to focus on the most vital tasks.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

To guarantee that our personal and organizational data is not compromised, or at risk when stretched and scattered in multiple places, its DLP security capabilities always stay active and managed. It comes with very special attributes such as a unified dashboard for central management, extensive data exploration power, cloud, risk-adaptive safety, OCR, and heterogeneous network & endpoint security features that are all my favorite.

What do you dislike most about this product?

When it comes to its simplicity, I believe they accomplished nothing as if only an expert can use and master it; it is not for less-skilled people, as it frees personas from boring skills, but maintaining it and ensuring that it is functioning demands a high degree of competence.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You should consider it as a secure web gateway that will not only give you total security but will also increase your productivity by keeping you away from highly complex security problems and their remediation because everything can be done automatically.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Trustworthy
