Cloud-based platform simplifies device and data center management
I find it to be good. The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing. We are less dependent on data centers and device management, which reduces our efforts significantly. It improves our device management, data center management, and updating devices. We need fewer engineers for this management, and it reduces time and efforts for data center management, device upgrades, and IT support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I can't say that there is one specific feature that is most valuable. It's the overall platform that is well-suited to our needs. It's something that is different from a lot of other products or platforms in the marketplace."
"Menlo Security RBI's best feature is its threat isolation engine."
"Zscaler Private Access is a platform that eliminates the complexity of VPN configuration."
"The policies are very easy to implement."
"The Live Logs are a cool feature. We can directly identify issues and divert user traffic."
"We don't need to connect anymore. It is automatically connected when you log on in Windows."
"Zscaler CASB's latency and architecture are excellent."
"The most valuable features of Zscaler SASE include web filtering, application control, and the private access configuration."
"What I find most valuable in Zscaler Private Access is that it's a VPN. Its connectivity as a VPN is its most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is easy."
 

Cons

"There are several features, such as supporting web technologies, that the company is working on implementing in the platform. There are a lot of backend web technologies in use on various websites, for example, two-way audio/video and WebGL, for which support may not be fully implemented in the product."
"Menlo Security RBI could be more cloud-friendly, and its mobility could be improved."
"It's an expensive solution."
"There aren't really any missing features that I have witnessed."
"Zscaler CASB breaks down at times."
"There could be a feature to view the VPN tunnel activities in terms of configuration."
"It would be better if the Zscaler Private Access team made it easier for people to find subscriptions on the portal, mainly information on what my customers subscribed to or the type of licenses purchased."
"The customers would benefit from more robust documentation and conversations around configurations, as it is slightly complex."
"There could be more DLP-related features. Additionally, there needs to be flexibility for integrating ISP features."
"To enhance their offering, it is advisable for them to focus on strengthening the foundation of their architecture. Additionally, they should consider integrating a broader range of services that go beyond what managed service providers typically offer independently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Menlo Security RBI can be very costly."
"The pricing is expensive and on the higher end. Honestly, in my opinion, it is not worth the price."
"In the long run, cloud services are not inherently costly."
"Zscaler Private Access is extremely expensive."
"My company is a Zscaler Private Access partner, so the customers pay for the license fees."
