Efficient technical support with good synchronization features, but it needs better security
We would like to be to secure access to all of the servers for all of the internal workers and engineers. We would like to have tools that provide us with security for our servers. I would like to see an improved repository to better see the users. We have a new project that requires a lot of security we will not continue with SecureLink. The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough.

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:

Cons

"The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough."
"We would like to extend the SASE applications for Zscaler."
"The solution's granularity should be improved because it has limited granular options to control, visible, allow, block, delay, and receive."
"The area that requires improvement is their support. The current support is lacking."
"There could be additional ways to define proximity. Additionally, they should provide some exclusion options for specific policies and an ability to control the DLP engine."
"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."
"The customers would benefit from more robust documentation and conversations around configurations, as it is slightly complex."
"Sometimes, support takes time since the solution has some bugs that need fixing."
"There could be a feature to view the VPN tunnel activities in terms of configuration."
