Cloud gateway has strengthened remote web security and now needs better Mac and ISP support
The problem our organization had is that iboss failed for the Mac devices. It is not able to give a successful agent for the Mac agents. That is where in 2025, we had to migrate to the Palo Alto-based platform. If your use case is for just Windows laptops,you can consider this platform as an option One issue is the data center resiliency part. In India especially, they are not tied up with the Tier 1 ISPs like Tata or Airtel; they were having Tier 2 ISPs and encountered many issues reaching few major sites that my organization depends on, and they were having problems that they could not fix quickly. They also lack a mechanism to route that traffic within their data center; rather, they ask customers to make a pac file change to route it to Singapore explicitly. It would be better if they route from their backend , i mean even if I send it to India DC, they should be able to route it internally to make that work; however, they fail to do that and ask the customer to route it in the pac file. Another suggestion is that in China, they do not have the proper setup; they used to have numerous problems with slowness and lack of premium circuits in China as well. That leads to multiple sites working slowly with latency-related issues. So the main issue is the ISP-related problems that need to be solved.

Unified directory and device management has streamlined remote workforce security and onboarding
JumpCloud can be improved in several areas. Some users feel the initial configuration can be complex, especially for larger organizations, and better guided onboarding could be helpful. Additionally, while its reporting and integrations are strong, more granular and customizable metrics and real-time alerts would be beneficial for advanced use cases. From my team's perspective, there is often a desire for even more intuitive administrative controls, particularly when managing complex policy sets. Enhanced integrations with specific industry-specific applications could provide even greater efficiency. It is about refining the user experience and expanding compatibility. Another area for potential enhancement could be customer support and resources. While generally good, faster response times and more comprehensive or specialized documentation could further improve the user experience, especially during complex deployments.

Identity governance has become automated and gives full visibility into all human and agent access
The best features Linx Security offers include an access graph that shows every employee, every agent, every non-human identity, and what connects to them. They don't stop only on showing visibility but also take action. They have workflow automation which works perfectly. On top of that, they just released their autopilot, which is basically an identity agent running in your environment and can take action on your behalf. On top of that, they have their MCP gateway that can control agents accessing anywhere in the enterprise. The workflow automation has made my daily work easier by replacing a lot of manual work we've been doing. For example, you have an agent, the autopilot, that runs and provisions and de-provisions automatically every admin request. It looks for the context of who asked for it, gives a security risk score, reduces the time that we're spending on it, and frees up time to do other things. We manage contractors and created a just-in-time environment. People that leave the company have workflows running to make sure our posture and governance are how they're supposed to be.
