What do you like best about Forcepoint Web Security?

It provides complete web protection for on-premise and roaming users through cloud proxy, Management, and reporting from a single console.

Policy creation and controlling cloud apps are good. Forcepoint SWG gives flexible deployment like virtual, software, hardware, and cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forcepoint Web Security?

Policy enforcement from the cloud takes time to replicate. Forcepoint web security on-premise required multiple servers like windows servers, DB servers and Linux. The administrator should be aware of all these infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective prevention and accurate reporter with Websense"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Forcepoint Web Security?

The product has 2 features that I like most. The first and best part of these is the management and reporting feature. The Management and Reporting console is smooth and intuitive. In this way, we can see user behavior and traffic in detail. The second feature I like is that it can easily monitor traffic and patterns to find infected computers on the network that need fixing. It also helps us a lot in preventing problematic and network abuse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forcepoint Web Security?

The configuration and setup of the product was a bit complicated for me. While this alone isn't a bad feature, it's hard to find what you're looking for on knowledge base sites. It also has multiple instruction sheets for all the different versions of the available software. You can switch to different software versions one way or another, but it may take some time to find what you want. However, despite this, the product has contributed greatly to filtering and reporting our company's web traffic in general. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It has been helping us to increase our security in a more practical way"
4/5
What do you like best about Forcepoint Web Security?

It turns out to be a fairly practical tool when it comes to having to improve the security of our company in a much simpler and more practical way, not to mention the fact that its ease of use is something that stands out at all times, something else quite interesting It turns out to be the simplicity of its interface, which allows it to be used without any type of problem, the fact that it has a statistics and administration panel turns out to be quite practical, especially to be able to evaluate the security levels in a general way in the company, its customer service team is quite quick when responding to any questions or concerns that may arise, being extremely helpful when responding quickly and immediately to any problem that may arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forcepoint Web Security?

To be honest I do not have any problem or inconvenience about using this application, in short I have found it to be quite practical and efficient, which is very helpful in my work due to security failure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Prevent malware and web attacks with Forcepoint"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Forcepoint Web Security?

In my opinion, the best part of the product is that we can categorize access to sites. With this feature, we can give users access by category rather than the content of a website. Also, the product is very good at blocking Phishing Links and Malicious content. Thanks to the product's threat detection, it detects and quickly prevents these attacks without the intervention of the security expert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forcepoint Web Security?

Overall, the performance of the product is satisfactory. However, the software upgrades of the product are really challenging for us. I think Forcepoint should make this even easier. Also, when there is a problem with the product's Hybrid client, sometimes all of our web access can go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complete Web Protection with Forcepoint Web Security"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Forcepoint Web Security?

It is very stable and you can forget that it is there to maintain it. It takes care of itself and you can use your other to do other demanding tasks in your job. Everything is taken of. Forcepoint has a robust Web Security Intelligence to block emerging web threats every minute, every day, every year. Support is quick and very robust. The Engineers are well trained and problems are solved rather quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forcepoint Web Security?

You have to learn that the appliance has other "virtual machines" running on it. The CLI can be quite intimidating at first as it is a hardened proprietary Linux appliance. You have to do some learning on troubleshooting using the CLI as the GUI troubleshooting tools are limited, like I said it is intimidating at first but the system is very stable and troubleshooting is not an everyday thing. There are also some web sites or web applications which don't work well with the Content Management Gateway (another "VM" in the appliance) and have to "tunnel" them or bypass SSL decryption for them to work for your users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
