Sophisticated secure web gateway
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway from other similar products?
All of our data loss protection, cloud access security, email security, malware protection, and other techniques may be managed easily from a single central panel which is a great benefit for us. All of these qualities not only make it a comprehensive but also a one-of-a-kind system on the market, and they also relieve users of the stress of difficult maintenance and management.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Because fingerprinting attacks can be identified with great precision, the method can also defend against less obvious threats. Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway also provides a built-in strong DLP system to safeguard our data whenever it is at risk or when we accidentally lose it due to human errors. The user interface is simple to comprehend, use, and handle. It's one of my favorites because it intelligently finds and eliminates threats.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Overall, I believe the product is reliable, powerful, functional, and ready to put in place. They didn't seem to add advanced features, in my opinion. It didn't add as many new features as comparable products. The main issue, in my opinion, was a lack of customization functionality that restricted us to do more with it.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Be wary of the add-ons, as well as the many packages available. I'd recommend communicating the needs or scope with Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway so that they are aware of the work features needed to expand for better security.

What differentiates Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway from other similar products?
We no longer need to be concerned about our security because Forcepoint Secure web gateway not only supplies DLP capabilities, advanced malware protection, and real-time threat defense to stop most sophisticated threats but also total cloud access security, allowing us to focus solely on the tasks that will propel our revenues to new heights.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Its cloud access security features are superb and unparalleled; its Private access capabilities eliminate the necessity of VPNs for remote users to access cloud apps while also delivering better connections with higher performance and no dangers. I really appreciate its strong correction and remediation as well as automated policy enforcement capabilities.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Organizations should face some setup, alignment, and deployment issues if they do not have a tech-savvy workforce. Although support specialists are highly skilled and are fully aware of their product and are capable of resolving your concerns, their slow response may irritate you and lead you to waste time.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is a one-stop shop for end-to-end security. Deep cognitive analytics, database versatility, risk-based and automated policy enforcement, cloud apps, cohesive policy enforcement, and classified environment suitability are all combined into a single solution. It also offers the defensive strategies you need to defend against modern threats, such as real-time threat analysis and extensive reporting on web gateways.

- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Trustworthy

One-of-a-kind security system on the market
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway from other similar products?
With URL filtering, data loss prevention, and sophisticated malware protection features, Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway allows us to be entirely secure with the adoption of a single integrated solution. It is also tightly integrated with other security systems to allow us to adjust and use it in our own ways.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
They have provided us with a reliable and complete cloud-based secure web gateway solution that has many powerful features such as data loss prevention, cloud access safety, better and advanced threat detective and preventive capability, as well as email security as an added feature. Its best aspect is its AMD function that uses cloud sandboxing to separate bad code to secure our network from malware.
What do you dislike most about this product?
In terms of usefulness and simplicity, the freshly released edition of this product falls short of our expectations. One of the most serious issues of this product was that it had become sluggish, but it now just works well and does not produce the flaws that it did previously. Diagnosing issues was a huge burden for us.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The majority of customers are content with its offers, but some customers with more sophisticated demands desire a more secure system and believe it isn't a suitable fit for them. However, you can modify it to your specific needs and it may be a good fit for your company. You just give it a try.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Trustworthy
- Unique Features
- Inspires Innovation
