Forcepoint Web Security Reviews & Product Details

The feature I like the most about the product is its Content Filtering feature. In this way, by analyzing the content of the website that users enter, it can be understood whether it is malicious or not, and blocking can be made accordingly. In this way, we can prevent malicious web traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you want to get a summary report on user activity, you will see that there is no such feature in the product. I think this is a feature that needs improvement. Also, we often need to scan logs one by one to find the actual site user visited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What Forcepoint WS does best is that different access privileges can be given according to user groups. In this way, the site types that can be accessed by users can be filtered according to the authority of each user group. This increases flexibility and our working performance.

In my opinion, it is an important deficiency that the users are not able to request temporary access to access the blocked site. Apart from that, we need to give a lot of details about the content to be blocked. This is another negative side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In our company, sometimes our managers want to access some websites without restriction. There may be times when a user or group of users may only need to access websites temporarily.

It lacks some reporting options that allow us to see instant activity with a user in the cloud-based version of the product. I think the absence of this feature is an important deficiency.

The two best features of the product are "Internet Filtering and Protection" and "Web Security Protection" features.
