Digital workflows have replaced paper on the shop floor and speed up regulated manufacturing
Definitely, AI in a regulated industry is something that is a concern of the clients. However, Tulip can stick to 21 CFR Part 11 strictly when it comes to Tulip's AI capabilities. Tulip has already started to look forward to compliance-related things. For example, Tulip's AI widget offers data reading throughout the site. It does not allow any AI to interact with external systems when we apply firewalls on it. In this regard, if Tulip continues in that way, they can definitely stick to the governance and security. As of now, I didn't face any issue related to their AI capabilities. It is working fine but not accurate, which is a red flag in a GXP regulated system. This is my feedback on their AI capabilities. This has been introduced into the latest LTS version and needs more hands-on experience. Before that, I cannot give a direct justification or feedback on their AI capabilities being reliable and accurate. However, at the extent that I have used them, they are accurate and reliable as of now. Tulip is an emerging platform and being a cloud-native MES, it has a lot to improve. According to me, traditional MES like FactoryTalk PharmaSuite has more complex features and user-oriented use cases and complexities that the application itself handles. However, when it comes to Tulip, all the things that matter are in the hands of a developer. That is something that Tulip can improve on. Tulip can switch to a traditional way of delivering in the pharmaceutical industry while keeping the cloud-native impact intact. One improvement that I can give an example of is that Tulip has application templates. Instead of templates, they can offer concrete applications to their pharmaceutical or any specific industrial client for their specific needs, such as a recipe designer and production management for a pharmaceutical client. Then production or material tracking or BOM tracking for a discrete client. In that way, I can see an improvement where Tulip can perform well.

Zero trust security has provided flexible protection and inspects real-time traffic effectively
From my perspective, I think about Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only], not much could be improved. It is working very well. The only thing is about the POP presence, where you hook into a continent or country. In some countries, South America has some coverage, but not as much as for instance North America or Europe. If you talk with large enterprises or multinationals that are everywhere in the world present, they might need something in Africa. Africa is also a continent where you have more and more enterprises having their subsidiaries there. Africa is not covered very thoroughly, in my opinion. It only has South Africa with points of presence and then Egypt. It is either very up north or very down south. If you are in the middle of Africa, which is an extremely large continent, then you have delays and latencies. That is not very nice. However, that is not only counting for Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only]; this is also for all competitors. I am working with Cato Networks now for more than a year and the same story applies to them. I also know other competitors of Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] which have even less coverage. It is not something that I think everyone is keen on to expand in Africa because they do not see much traffic. However, if you have multinationals that are operating in Africa, then you cannot offer very good quality service because you have large latency if they are in the middle of Africa. Not even in the middle of Africa; if you talk about under Morocco, then you either connect to Cairo or you connect to Spain. Spain is closest, but if you always have redundancy, and if Spain falls out for whatever reason, even though that is not happening much because the data centers are very stable, then you have an enormous latency going to Cairo. Coming with this to more North Africa, if you talk about Angola and Mozambique in the middle of Africa, then you do not have much choice. You always have a lot of latency there. That is unfortunate. On the technical terms, that is where I stand. I mentioned this before, and it is still the same. I think I talked with you a few years back about this; I think three or four years ago. I mentioned exactly this topic then, and it is still the same. The other thing is, I think in terms of software, they are doing their best. They are buying in firms and buying in solutions, so they are expanding, and that is fine. I would rather say to Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] to have better customer service because Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only], even with large enterprises and huge companies that I work for, they notice that Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] service management is different. They are very big and they have less attention to client matters. If that would improve, it would be the best for Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] to have better customer success managers, but more attention to clients and more direct interface to the deep core of the company for client matters if they have questions or specific things that they do not currently have. If I have something with the client, I have sometimes to escalate to the vice president that I know because I worked with him before, and that is unfortunate. That should not be necessary to go that route. You should have things arranged directly with an account manager or customer success manager of your client if you have problems, or at least have responses saying, this is impossible, we cannot do that because of this, this, this, whatever. At least you should have an answer. I think in the future, everyone in the branch is focusing on AI and quantum computing as a mix. I think on that end, everyone in the domain is working hard to find the best solutions against those two challenges. I think Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] is doing their best as well there. That is the challenge for the upcoming years, to get the best answers to it. Eventually, they will compete with the same; fight it back with the same power. That means also with quantum computing or specially designed AI to attack back when attackers are attacking. I am not the genius saying that there will be a sort of war game coming up in the future in this domain. However, they are working on it, as all the others are doing, and I think that is absolutely the focus for the coming years because that is where everyone has concern about.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Tulip is a pre-configured tool where all fields and options are readily available on the Tulip platform, which impressed me when I evaluated it from a CSV perspective and development perspective."
"Tulip has changed my life, as I started using it just for making some inventory, and now I'm moving forward to digitalize 100% of the facility."
"The best features Tulip offers include the fact that it is fairly easy to set up and allows you to connect things."
"For projects that would take two to three days in other applications, Tulip allows us to complete them in one day."
"Since using Tulip, my organization has positively transitioned from a lot of manual documentation for GMP compliance to digital, significantly reducing paperwork and now maintaining data retention within Tulip instead of manually."
"Tulip is really about empowering people to build applications, and those people who build the applications are not necessarily only technical experts or developers."
"We have achieved significant profit in our organization, building around one hundred apps in the last three years using Tulip that are all in production and running successfully, with huge accolades and appreciations from clients."
"Before, we needed many resources to monitor the production control area, but now, with Tulip, we can fulfill requirements and accomplish business objectives with a minimal amount of resources."
"Zscaler Software is very beneficial for my clients, reducing time by at least more than 50%, improving specific metrics through encrypted threat detection, increasing productivity, and reducing the workload of the analyst so they can respond faster."
"I use Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only]'s real-time traffic inspection feature and find it helpful."
"Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] itself, I think it is pretty good and I only get compliments from clients that are using it after the implementation; they like it."
 

Cons

"However, if you want a much larger version with better scalability and more UI features, you can consider other products."
"Tulip can be improved to have a lower entry point."
"Regarding Tulip's AI capabilities, I perceive that it is not yet mature and is still in the testing phase, with several features rolled out for end users."
"For complex applications, Tulip is not equipped well as of now."
"Tulip can improve by providing additional features developers can use in the application."
"Tulip can improve with better or closer support in developing the applications, especially when we as a pharmaceutical company would have our specific requirements and needs that are mandatory for our industry."
"One way Tulip can be improved is that the biggest challenge is if you already know programming. Tulip is extremely hard to set up because it doesn't follow standard programming rules."
"One area Tulip can be improved is addressing the issue that arises when multiple users use the same data tables for Tulip applications."
"I would rather say to Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] to have better customer service because Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only], even with large enterprises and huge companies that I work for, they notice that Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only] service management is different."
"Regarding Zscaler Software [Private Offer Only], to be honest, we do not like it."
