Enhances web security with a single pane of glass and flexible deployment
I don't see any need for improvement; one of the really good things about iboss as a company is that they listen to customer feedback. I have suggested enhancements, and they are responsive, making changes for the better, and they do a lot of testing. To improve iboss, although we haven't used it, we considered the VPN solution that comes with the highest tier licensing, which includes DLP and various other add-ons. We prefer using another product which automatically logs you back onto your network when turning on your PC. With iboss, the connection is manual, which doesn't meet our needs. Additionally, sizing can be tricky because, although the initial recommendations may seem adequate, actual usage may require more gateways than anticipated.

Remote work has become simpler and cost-saving but reliability still needs consistent improvement
CloudConnexa can be improved, particularly because they have many features, but they do have stability issues. I see many times where the stability is not good, and I have seen a few outages with a huge ETA for those outages. It takes a while for them to give a proper ETA, and they often come up with workarounds that I need to run for a long time to address stability. For the log stream, they have a facility to forward logs, but they do not have a good dashboard to filter those logs in their dashboard itself, which for troubleshooting often contains meaningless information. The support is good, and they respond immediately, but the stability issues and the engineering work need to be improved. Stability and logging are the main areas that need improvement.

Google Cloud Platform works better with Google Workspace, stable product but a bit complicated, especially the networking
We used Google Workspace, so all my employees have Google Workspace accounts. I initially wanted to use Google Cloud Platform for subscription compatibility. Google Cloud Platform works better with Google Workspace, but unfortunately, it's a bit complicated, especially the networking. Oracle Cloud's virtual network system is much easier and more flexible. Also, Oracle was cheaper. That's the main reason we chose Oracle Cloud.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Content filtering is the most useful feature of iboss."
"From a use-case scenario, what I like the most is the plug-in. I like the fact that we can do the filtering of these devices offsite independent of the network they are connected to, and we do not have to have traffic coming back inside our network."
"From a corporate perspective, I understand that it's important to keep the company data safe."
"Granular setup, which was able to set different levels of filters using the OUs in the AD."
"Valuable features: Within the filter: Controls (Web categories, applications, and Allow/Block list) and Network (local Subnets). Within the reporter: Logs (Event Log) and Reports."
"First of all, the security policies are essential. I do not have to rely solely on Active Directory for our users."
"The iboss solution gives me the ability to scan the traffic through all the ports, through all the 131,000 PCP and UDP ports, and with this ability, we have the granularity also for consults over social media and applications on mobile, and this is an advantage that the customers are looking for right now."
"iboss is pretty scalable. They provide good support. The case managers you work with to coordinate what you need are pretty good."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is very positive. The pricing is straightforward; it is the most affordable solution available."
"We do not need to maintain the hardware."
"I like the GCP so much because it's flexible."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"It is a stable solution."
"I find the GCS Portal to be particularly valuable. It is more user-friendly and easier to navigate compared to other cloud providers, such as AWS. I particularly appreciate the user interface of GCS."
"This is an awesome product."
"It is totally awesome in terms of scalability."
"It is easy to integrate, especially if I consider the fact that it gives me a single dashboard where I have all the applications or apps displayed."
 

Cons

"The dashboards for local use could be better."
"The solution could be stronger on the integration side and offer more cloud applications like G Suite or Oracle."
"For zero trust implementation, we encountered complexity issues, especially with a large infrastructure company ExxonMobil."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"Its pricing could be better."
"The solution could be stronger on the integration side and offer more cloud applications like G Suite or Oracle."
"It is stable, but due to growth, it can sometimes be less stable than wanted."
"One thing I would like to see differently with their Zero Trust platform is that some of the AI aspects related to high-risk activities have more false positives."
"CloudConnexa can be improved, particularly because they have many features, but they do have stability issues."
"People who don't have experience in IT may find the tool challenging. It needs to improve its pricing."
"The integration of the solution for patching, updating, and installing the updates could be better."
"It is an expensive solution, so I would like its price to be improved."
"the documentation could be a bit better in terms of what is presented on the screen versus what actually happens."
"The product’s migration process could be easier to understand."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing."
"Google Cloud Platform is not a product that is very flexible for end-users, especially owing to the fact that there is not much documentation available for the product."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The overall pricing for iboss is very competitive and transparent."
"We have not priced the solution recently, but they were competitive with other vendors in the past."
"It is not expensive, and it is also not cheap. iboss is priced right in the sweet spot for the number of features it offers."
"We had the cost of purchasing a new appliance along with the implementation and licensing costs. However, the following year, the cost of just licensing was similar to what was paid the previous year for a new appliance along with the implementation and licensing costs."
"It is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
"It is probably in line with other solutions, but I do not deal with the financial side."
Information not available
"Google Cloud Platform is cheaper than Microsoft Exchange."
"The price of the product falls on the cheaper side of the spectrum."
"Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is an expensive solution."
"The licensing costs us $100,000 so pricing could be better."
"There is a need to make yearly payments toward the solution's licensing."
"There is a need to make payments towards the license in charges attached to the product on a yearly basis."
"I think that the cost is metered based on the data, but I don't have the details."
"It is expensive to scale up the solution."
