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."
"The Live Logs are a cool feature. We can directly identify issues and divert user traffic."
"The user interface of Zscaler Private Access is excellent. With proper knowledge and expertise, one can efficiently handle intricate enterprise environments without feeling overwhelmed. This leads to exceptional productivity for managed service providers. The user experience is remarkably streamlined, enabling the management of even the most complex enterprise setups without any excessive complications."
"Overall, the solution does a pretty good job at web filtering."
"Sandboxing, DLP, and SSL inspection engine are the most valuable features of Zscaler SASE."
"As a cloud-based service, it is very easily implemented."
"The tool's scalability is good."
"The solution offers a simplified network infrastructure and security functions and it enables secure remote access for the users"
"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."
 

Cons

"Menlo Security RBI could be more cloud-friendly, and its mobility could be improved."
"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."
"There are latency issues with the solution. They are small, however, they are there when you compare it to other vendors."
"Users report application access or latency issues with Zscaler Private Access."
"They should work on a replica account. There could be alerts and replica files sent to the DLP team during data collection."
"The connectivity monitoring part should be included in the core license without any extra charges."
"We often face performance and latency issues with Zscaler SASE."
"SCMP support would be one of the biggest improvements in my opinion. More speed improvements are also required."
"The stability could be improved."
"Zscaler CASB should include integrations with other SaaS applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Menlo Security RBI can be very costly."
"Zscaler Private Access is extremely expensive."
"The technical support is good."
"It has been relatively reasonable for what it does. Some of the additional license costs based on the advanced next-generation firewall functions are quite high, and they should have certain features ready and available as a baseline rather than having to purchase additional licenses for it. Overall, the cost seems reasonable."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product is a little more expensive than other tools."
"Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
"Zscaler DLP solution is expensive, with a fixed pricing structure that is billed annually and monthly. There are no additional costs for licenses."
