Addressed complex learning curve yet has improved automated routing and cloud security visibility
Cloud Security Connector for Zscaler offers multiple features, but the major feature I love specifically is automated Zscaler node detection, which helps detect any kind of problem first. Additionally, it is available all the time, providing high availability routing for seamless failover, which is one of my favorite features. It also provides Layer 4 routed bypass for TCP, UDP, and ICMP traffic, enabling granular traffic control that streamlines our services working with Zscaler. It has provided complete visibility of internal IPs on the Zscaler console, allowing us to monitor and troubleshoot whenever there is a problem, making things transparent and easy for us to monitor. The integration with SIEM or syslog enhances centralized log management for our organization.

Flexible website and LMS have accelerated launches but performance has needed constant tuning
While Wordpress is all good, one of the main key issues I see is performance. Wordpress is not actually suited for some tasks, especially with our LMS, as admin-side tasks such as adding new courses or changing course content used to take a lot of time, sometimes taking two or three minutes to reload or save simple content. Those kinds of performance lags are things we do not really appreciate. Adding to needed improvements, Wordpress is not a system that is entirely optimized for some of the things that people use it for. Wordpress was meant to be a blogging system, but later optimizations were added, allowing it to be used for anything. The JavaScripts you run on top of Wordpress are causing performance issues. For our website, we had an issue where it would take five to ten seconds to load a very simple page, which is not good when it comes to performance. Performance is actually the number one complaint I have regarding Wordpress, along with the hidden errors that require effort to find.
