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

"Menlo Security RBI's best feature is its threat isolation engine."
"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."
"As a cloud-based service, it is very easily implemented."
"You can close your data protection gaps with Zscaler. You can quickly find all the classified, sensitive data across the cloud."
"The product’s most valuable features are inbound and outbound scanning and API control."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to establish connectivity for remote users and remote endpoints. It offers a high level of granularity compared to typical VPNs, which also encapsulate a lot of I/O."
"It's one of the easier products on the market as far as set-ups and deployments. Even across their whole product suite, they've made it pretty simple."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP provides you with basic DLP features that you get out of the box such as keywords, regular expressions, and data identifiers, for example, your social security numbers, and credit card numbers, with everything built into the product, so you can directly use those features within the policies. You don't need to create it from scratch, and to me, this is the biggest benefit of Zscaler Cloud DLP. You have a lot of templates to choose from in the solution, rather than having to create templates from scratch or reinvent templates."
"The best feature is the ability to establish the connection between your public network and automatically connect to the intranet connection."
 

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."
"The stability could be improved."
"You won't find anything that can help you with the configuration part and other areas related to the product if you search for proper or exact details of Zscaler Cloud DLP online in very easy language."
"There aren't really any missing features that I have witnessed."
"Sometimes applications crash on some machines, and we’d like Zscaler to give us some information as to why that may have happened. We’d like more detailed reports."
"There is some issue while accessing the portal. It takes too long."
"The solution's granularity should be improved because it has limited granular options to control, visible, allow, block, delay, and receive."
"It has a limitation, if you are creating a rule or something for a web application or something, you could only add five users, not more than that. Five or four users are only included in a rule. If you want to create a rule for more than five or four users, you have to go through other methods, not particularly with the application. Working within the application with this method would be quite easy as compared to listing a URL or a normal IP address."
"The connectivity monitoring part should be included in the core license without any extra charges."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Menlo Security RBI can be very costly."
"The pricing is quite high, especially when it comes to the gateway."
"It's an affordable solution"
"The product is a little more expensive than other tools."
"Zscaler Private Access can be an expensive solution, depending on the license type you will purchase."
"There is definitely an ROI."
"Zscaler SASE software is quite expensive compared to other solutions"
"My company is a Zscaler Private Access partner, so the customers pay for the license fees."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP is moderately priced. We pay around 2 million rupees per year."
