Forcepoint Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines security service edge (SSE) as an offering that secures access to the web, cloud services and private applications regardless of the location of the user, the device they are using or where that application is hosted. SSE protects users from malicious and inappropriate content on the web and provides enhanced security and visibility for the SaaS and private applications accessed by end users.
Security service edge provides a primarily cloud-delivered solution to control access from end users and devices to applications, as well as websites and the internet. It provides a range of security capabilities, including adaptive access based on identity and context, malware protection, data security and threat prevention, as well as the associated analytics and visibility. It enables more direct connectivity for hybrid users by reducing latency and providing the potential for improved user experience. Capabilities that are integrated across multiple traffic types and destinations allow a more seamless experience for both users and administrators while maintaining a consistent security stance.

The Forcepoint ONE product is just an average overall experience, though it is a strong product in terms of the SSE area.  

Using this Forcepoint One SSE from last 1 year in my current organization, overall experience with this product is positive, specially in terms of cloud security posture, creating policy and enforcement of policy is very easy. SSE from Forcepoint contains SWG, CASB and ZTNA Solution.
