Why these ratings?
Cyberse perspective
Summary by Cyberse
Microsoft Sentinel may be considered a good fit for you due to its powerful capabilities.
Here’s a few tips on how to maximize its capabilities:
We use the following criteria to rate this product’s functionality:
Cost considerations
Peer reviews note Forcepoint DLP is more expensive than most DLP products and often requires extra licenses for endpoint, web or cloud modules, raising total spend. Large enterprises can justify the outlay, but midsize firms question the return and label the pricing too high. The high base cost plus add-on fees and uncertain ROI place its cost profile in the premium tier rather than the market average.
Functionality
Forcepoint DLP automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data and applies contextual controls across endpoints, networks and popular cloud services. The product layers user-risk scoring, behavior analytics and policy-driven encryption, yet full customer key lifecycle management is handled through integrations rather than native tooling. These capabilities warrant a functionality rating of 4 out of 5 compared with other data security products.
Compatibility
Forcepoint DLP connects directly to Oracle, SQL Server and other on-prem databases. The product also has native API links to Microsoft 365, AWS S3 and many other cloud apps through Forcepoint ONE and sends logs to Splunk, QRadar and ArcSight by syslog or CEF. A published REST API lets developers pull incidents without custom scripting
User experience
Forcepoint DLP provides a clear web console that customers find usable after setup, but first-time administrators face a complex menu structure and policy tuning takes effort. Dashboards support daily monitoring, yet searches can be slow and some tasks need multiple clicks, which lengthens the learning curve. This places the user experience squarely in the middle of the field.
Customer support
User feedback shows Forcepoint DLP’s support team often responds promptly and knowledgeable engineers solve issues effectively. Forcepoint publishes support programs that include 24×7 phone help for critical incidents and a searchable online knowledge base. Some customers still report slower follow-ups unless they pay for higher tiers, placing overall support above average but not top-tier.
