Stable and scalable solution with a great threat isolation engine
Menlo Security RBI is mainly used to do basic cloud migrationary technologies Menlo Security RBI's best feature is its threat isolation engine. Menlo Security RBI could be more cloud-friendly, and its mobility could be improved. In the next release, I'd like Menlo Security RBI to include a…

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

"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."
"Menlo Security RBI's best feature is its threat isolation engine."
"The solution offers a simplified network infrastructure and security functions and it enables secure remote access for the users"
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing."
"The scalability of the solution is great."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The in-line DLP feature is one of the most vital features"
"The best feature is the ability to establish the connection between your public network and automatically connect to the intranet connection."
"Zscaler CASB's latency and architecture are excellent."
 

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."
"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."
"Sometimes, support takes time since the solution has some bugs that need fixing."
"What could be improved in Zscaler Private Access is its notification. For example, if there's a speed issue, there should be a pop-up that alerts the user about it. If there is a network quality issue, for example, it isn't good enough to connect to, or the network quality is bad, there should be a notification from the solution. Zscaler Private Access also needs improvement in terms of its interface and security."
"It would be better if the Zscaler Private Access team made it easier for people to find subscriptions on the portal, mainly information on what my customers subscribed to or the type of licenses purchased."
"It's an expensive solution."
"SCMP support would be one of the biggest improvements in my opinion. More speed improvements are also required."
"The tool must provide IP-blocking features."
"While Zscaler supports client-initiated connections, it does not support server-initiated connections. This is a feature that Zscaler may consider adding in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Menlo Security RBI can be very costly."
"The cost is expensive. It depends on the number of users."
"The technical support is good."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP is moderately priced. We pay around 2 million rupees per year."
"The licensing model for Zscaler Cloud DLP allows you to only buy what you need. You don't need to buy it as a whole, so it's good."
"Zscaler Private Access can be an expensive solution, depending on the license type you will purchase."
"The solution has increased prices this year."
"As per industry leads, Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive."
