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.

Prisma Access browser enhances user security with isolation but demands improvements in customer support
The best feature of the Prisma Access Browser is browser isolation. Isolation makes the user experience very good and real-time, while the container is in a different zone. This is a great feature because if phishing or something happens, it doesn't impact the user's system. The same capability is provided by Zscaler with RBI and Netskope as well. Real-time threat monitoring for the Prisma Access Browser is good. It provides good data, and the customer was very happy. As part of the feedback, Palo Alto and I collected responses from them. They haven't faced any problems or false positives. The false positive scenario is less than 1% in Palo Alto.
