Seamlessly customize security features but need improved deployment speed
I find Fortinet FortiCASB easily customizable. It allows me to leverage features that cover almost eighty percent of use cases required by my clients. The compliance management feature supports GDPR and HIPAA compliance, effectively meeting those use cases. The hybrid model of Fortinet offers seamless deployment on cloud or hybrid best suited for customers, making it adaptable in various scenarios.

User-friendly console integrates robust security features for seamless traffic management
Netskope serves as a single web console carrying out multiple functionalities: Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Web DLP, and firewall services. I can toggle between these features on a single platform, enhancing ease of use. In comparison, Zscaler requires multiple consoles for managing similar features. Having these functionalities integrated into one dashboard makes Netskope efficient and user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find Fortinet FortiCASB easily customizable."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"It allows the use of cloud since we can control risks vs. just blocking access."
"Amazing reporting and tracking mechanisms."
"The most valuable feature of Netskope is protection."
"Its deployment is very easy and quick. Their technical support is also very good."
"Their ease of use, the training materials that they got, and what the solution actually covers are all very good."
"The most helpful features in Netskope are the data loss prevention module, the anti-malware module, and the integration that it has with Information Rights Management from Microsoft."
"The automation offered by the product is pretty solid."
 

Cons

"The turnaround time to deploy Fortinet FortiCASB could be improved. The learning curve for deploying, configuring use cases, and rules can be better."
"Technical support and the user interface could be improved."
"I deduced two points: one for their feature modification and one for the feature maturity of the solution."
"A bit of latency is observed in some of the applications."
"Deployment and policy tweaking were two areas where improvement needs to be made."
"Their partner piece could be a little bit stronger than what it is right now."
"Compatibility with other proxy polars would be helpful."
"There could be better integration with other solutions."
"There should be some granular custom roles that are not available. However, this is on the road map. There are many devices that do not have the Zero Trust feature and other enhancements available which they should have."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I recall that the price was considerably cheaper than that of Zscaler. It was around 60,000 AUD for 1,000 users per year and included some training and some premier support offerings. If we wanted to take advantage of the CASB capabilities, then there was an additional subscription fee, for which we didn't have the budget. On price, I would give Netskope a three or four out of five because it's quite expensive, but it offers a lot of value."
"There is a license required for this solution and there are many licensing models available. For example, what applications are covered as part of the license."
"The tool's pricing is not too cheap or expensive. However, it can be costly for a small business."
"Netskope's pricing is reasonable compared to Microsoft."
"The pricing is very flexible."
"Pricing is a little expensive but it is affordable."
"The price of the solution is fair but it depends on your use case."
"The product's price is average."
