"Excellent but Expensive"
What do you like best about Forcepoint ONE Web Security?

This software easily breaks down web browsing to see who has been accessing what, and whether they should have been or not. It's also good because you can set it so that users have to acknowledge they're visiting some sites that may not be work related to everyone, stating that either it is work related or outside of working hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forcepoint ONE Web Security?

The software could offer more information when it comes to why things have been blocked if you haven't specifically blocked them as sometimes it can make it a little difficult to resolve an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wrong direction for a DLP"
What do you like best about Forcepoint ONE Web Security?

I do not care for the Forcepoint product for many reasons, but I do appreciate the list of extensive categories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Forcepoint ONE Web Security?

Forcepoint is a security application that uses an agent installation and a cloud proxy server to monitor, and prevent unauthorized access to web categories. The website is slow, and clunky. The design is not user friendly for help desk staff, and there ARE NO LISTS OF WHAT WEBSITES ARE BEING AFFECTED BY WHAT CATEGORIES whatsoever. This makes troubleshooting very difficult when attempting to locate why a domain is being blocked. We had to create an extensive whitelist to make the product work, as unblocking a category would allow domains we DID not want access to, although a legitimate domain may be included in a blocked category. The Forcepoint agent has to be deployed to all systems that need to be monitored or restricted, when uninstalling, additional steps need to be followed in order to allow access back to the internet. You will need to deploy a certificate with your certificates GPO to allow HTTPS access. To me, the product feels very amateur, and one does not simply bust through the phone tree for support. I would recommend finding similar products that have a very mature feel for working in the modern day IT organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Websense/Forcepoint"

Creating exceptions is fairly straight forward. Using the reports to troubleshoot commonly reveals the cause of issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SSL.decryption causes a lot of issues with random sites. Support said it was a known issue years ago that was being looked into but it's never improved.
