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."I like that you can quickly create policies and enforce them in a matter of minutes."
"The incident management and fingerprinting have been the most valuable features."
"The integration is great."
"Forcepoint DLP's most valuable feature is that it provides complete end-to-end security."
"One of the most valuable features is being able to see file movement, where files are going. Every week we review the files. It can identify software codes, so we code files and we know where they're going and who's doing what. It gives us visibility."
"The technical support for the solution is very good."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"The initial setup process went well."
"You can close your data protection gaps with Zscaler. You can quickly find all the classified, sensitive data across the cloud."
"On DLP terms, Zscaler Cloud DLP ensures that data doesn't go outside of the organization. So on the network level, Zscaler does a pretty good job."
"The policies are very easy to implement."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Its impressive scalability allows the combination of multiple dictionaries and using them as one engine, resulting in narrower data loss gaps."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP provides you with basic DLP features that you get out of the box such as keywords, regular expressions, and data identifiers, for example, your social security numbers, and credit card numbers, with everything built into the product, so you can directly use those features within the policies. You don't need to create it from scratch, and to me, this is the biggest benefit of Zscaler Cloud DLP. You have a lot of templates to choose from in the solution, rather than having to create templates from scratch or reinvent templates."
"As a cloud-based service, it is very easily implemented."
"The product’s most valuable features are inbound and outbound scanning and API control."
"I'd like the data classification to be better."
"Feature requests do take some time to implement."
"I can't push a report by a certain organizational entity or unit without a lot of work. The reporting could be better."
"This solution has a tendency to provide false-positive results."
"I would like to see improvement in the reporting. We can only get one week's worth of data; we can't get more than that. Also, the reporting console is very slow, making it very frustrating to use."
"The initial setup of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is of medium difficulty level."
"The support could improve Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention."
"An area for improvement for Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is its price. It would be good if they could offer better pricing."
"In the next release, I would like to see RE2 Regex supported."
"They should work on a replica account. There could be alerts and replica files sent to the DLP team during data collection."
"We have issues with the tool's maintenance and networking. It should be able to work in offline mode as well."
"There aren't really any missing features that I have witnessed."
"You won't find anything that can help you with the configuration part and other areas related to the product if you search for proper or exact details of Zscaler Cloud DLP online in very easy language."
"The product must allow users to check logs for an entire year in the local console."
"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."
"Price-wise, it is a costly product and it should be reduced."
