"Because it's on cloud, it doesn't allow application of extra settings."
"Zscaler Cloud Firewall should have a better understanding of all dynamic cloud applications."

"Pricing is a challenge."
"The product could improve its integration with some legacy systems."
"It would be better if they improved their policy, package visibility, and flexibility while we're creating rules for inspection.
