We performed a comparison between Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention and Zscaler DLP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of this solution is that it captures where the data is being moved."
"A very user-friendly predefining feature."
"The ease of configuration was probably one of its biggest selling points."
"Forcepoint has been the leader in the space for many years and they, are very well established, and mature."
"We receive a lot of insights from this product."
"We don't require a lot of downtime, but when we do then we are getting proper support with no issue."
"The scalability is fantastic. One of the things that I like about Forcepoint is that I can customize the solution to suit my objectives."
"I did not experience any crashes. The solution has been stable in my usage."
"The product’s most valuable features are inbound and outbound scanning and API control."
"The customer service and support are very good."
"As a cloud-based service, it is very easily implemented."
"You can close your data protection gaps with Zscaler. You can quickly find all the classified, sensitive data across the cloud."
"The UI is easy to use."
"It's one of the easier products on the market as far as set-ups and deployments. Even across their whole product suite, they've made it pretty simple."
"The solution is the best for storage."
"The policies are very easy to implement."
"Everything can be improved and maybe there is a way to improve the user experience through the interface."
"The initial setup of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is of medium difficulty level."
"They need to improve their reporting feature as well as the incident response."
"Lacks the ability to control the USB port devices so that content coming out of the port is blocked."
"The initial setup is a bit complex. You will need help from the peer support team in the configuration."
"There is no support for the Bangla (Bengali) language, so we cannot use the Forcepoint technology for Bangla documents."
"The solution lacks sufficient customization."
"One area that could be improved is the support. The current support is not very good. Because they don't come on time when a customer really needs it, they take a lot of time to troubleshoot anything."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP needs to improve its compatibility with other security tools."
"Price-wise, it is a costly product and it should be reduced."
"The tool must provide IP-blocking features."
"They should work on a replica account. There could be alerts and replica files sent to the DLP team during data collection."
"The customers would benefit from more robust documentation and conversations around configurations, as it is slightly complex."
"The only issue with Zscaler Cloud DLP is that it only gives you DLP protection from web traffic, which is flowing out, while a full-blown DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec gives you DLP coverage for multiple channels. Zscaler Cloud DLP doesn't give you coverage for email, fax, and USB channels, and this is the only challenge or room for improvement in the solution. It's just an extension on top of what you're buying on the proxy, so it's just an added layer, and it doesn't cover DLP on a very broad level. I'm unsure if Zcaler is in the business of competing with a full-blown DLP solution, and if there's a plan to expand the features of Zscaler Cloud DLP beyond the web channel because you'll have to deploy a full-blown agent for it. I'm unsure if this is on the cards because the solution is just an added layer that you get with your proxy. I've asked the Zcaler team whether there's a plan to go full DLP in the future, but I didn't get a positive response. There isn't any feature I'd like added to Zscaler Cloud DLP currently, because anything you could think of that should be in cloud or SaaS solutions is already there, except for machine learning, as it's the only functionality that seems to be lacking in the solution. Machine learning is an additional policy available in other DLP solutions in the market, but my team didn't find it in Zscaler Cloud DLP."
"The product must allow users to check logs for an entire year in the local console."
"Another area of improvement is implementation through non-client connectors. The solution can be implemented in two ways. One uses the back file; the other one uses client connectors. So the client connector is pretty fast, but when it comes to non-client connectors and procedures, it's kind of delayed and slow."
