Net-new buyers without existing Forcepoint stack (Netskope or Microsoft cleaner choices), Microsoft 365 E5-anchored shops, or buyers wanting transparent published pricing.
Existing Forcepoint multi-product customers (NGFW + DLP + CASB + web) maintaining current investment, or federal / regulated buyers leveraging Forcepoint ONE FedRAMP authorization.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Forcepoint CASB’s product card in our Top 10 Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) Software for 2026:
- ! Legacy CASB SKU effectively in maintenance mode; sales motion steered to Forcepoint ONE
- ! Post-Francisco Partners acquisition executive churn 2022-2023
- ! Customer-support quality reported as inconsistent post-acquisition
- ! Pricing opaque and channel-driven (no published rates)
- ! Dual-CASB-SKU situation (legacy + Forcepoint ONE / Bitglass) confuses buyers
- ! Net-new sales win rate against Netskope and Microsoft reported as weak
If Forcepoint CASB is wrong for you, consider these instead
