Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

Good scalability, but the technical support service needs improvement
We use the solution to monitor and secure our customers' internet access The solution's best feature is the flexibility of use. The stability of the solution's cloud portal needs improvement. Sometimes, it gets timed out.   We have been using the solution since 2017. We need help accessing a…

A VPN alternative that delivers a zero trust model
The primary use cases for the Zscaler include secure channel access for applications, private file service access, and remote connectivity to the active directory. These are the top three essential functionalities provided by Zscaler Previously, we utilized HubSpot, which required connecting to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cloud misconfiguration is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its storyline, which helps trace an event back to its source, like an email or someone clicking on a link."
"There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring."
"PingSafe released a new security graph tool that helps us identify the root issue. Other tools give you a pass/fail type of profile on all misconfigurations, and those will run into the thousands. PingSafe's graphing algorithm connects various components together and tries to identify what is severe and what is not. It can correlate various vulnerabilities and datasets to test them on the back end to pinpoint the real issue."
"PingSafe stands out for its user-friendly interface and intuitive software, making it easy to navigate and use."
"PingSafe's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"PingSafe's integration is smooth. They are highly customer-oriented, and the integration went well for us."
"The tool identifies issues quickly."
"We have gained a deep insight into our Shadow IT usage as well as the different activities involved in Office 365."
"Without Skyhigh, we had zero visibility, but now we are aware of so much more."
"Tokenization."
"What I found most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its stability. The solution also has good KB articles that make it simple for users to do the deployment of Skyhigh Security themselves, without the need for integrators."
"Box API features with DLP capabilities."
"Shadow IT reporting capabilities."
"Overall, the performance is good."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"With SASE, we have a single platform that covers multiple task services with which we need to control access. All the features are equally valuable."
"The policies are very easy to implement."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The tool's scalability is good."
"Zscaler CASB's latency and architecture are excellent."
"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."
"Its impressive scalability allows the combination of multiple dictionaries and using them as one engine, resulting in narrower data loss gaps."
"It has some good data security and WIP features, providing secure Internet access."
 

Cons

"Customized queries should be made easier to improve PingSafe."
"PingSafe is an excellent CSPM tool, but the CWPP features need to improve, and there is a scope for more application security posture management features. There aren't many ASPM solutions on the market, and existing ones are costly. I would like to see PingSafe develop into a single pane of glass for ASPM, CSPM, and CWPP. Another feature I'd like to see is runtime protection."
"A vulnerability alert would appear, and we'd fix it, but then the same alert would return the next day."
"We've found a lot of false positives."
"A two-month grace period for extended searches would be a valuable improvement."
"The recommended actions aren't always specific, so it might suggest recommendations that don't apply to the particular infrastructure code I'm reviewing."
"Scanning capabilities should be added for the dark web."
"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."
"One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps."
"There are no training videos available for the product."
"I think that the User Interface could be improved."
"It would be nice to be able to get more advanced search functions to filter out data and quickly obtain the data that we need."
"The biggest challenge we have with McAfee is their cross-cloud support."
"The only thing we have faced is that sometimes, randomly, the portal becomes too slow."
"The solution is hard to configure, our team does not have specific training requirements for McAfee making it difficult."
"The virtual solution requires improvement."
"The DX layer could be better if it had improved visibility."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of configuration."
"The customers would benefit from more robust documentation and conversations around configurations, as it is slightly complex."
"Price-wise, it is a costly product and it should be reduced."
"Occasionally, there are certain delays in report generation."
"Occasionally, issues arise in the LogStack by a third party, particularly for government websites accessed by numerous users."
"Zscaler CASB should include integrations with other SaaS applications."
"We'd like to have two-factor authentication that is quite simple."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe is affordable."
"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."
"Its pricing was a little less than other providers."
"I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."
"PingSafe is fairly priced."
"PingSafe is cost-effective for the amount of infrastructure we have. It's reasonable for what they offer compared to our previous solution. It's at least 25 percent to 30 percent less."
"It is cheap."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"This is an expensive product, although it is made for larger enterprises and not for small organizations."
"Skyhigh provided a FedRAMP solution, tokenization, a better shadow IT capability, and lower cost."
"Commercially, I find Skyhigh Security a little costlier, compared to other products such as SentinelOne or Cybereason which are really novelty products. I'm not comparing Skyhigh Security with Trend Micro, but with other products, in particular the new, next-generation products. The price for Skyhigh Security is high in terms of value and ROI. I would rate the product price combined with product efficacy a six out of ten."
"Pricing for Skyhigh Security is okay, though there's always a scope for price improvements. Its pricing is okay compared to other products because other products have very expensive licensing costs. Along with the licensing, support is also provided for Skyhigh Security, so pricing is reasonable, but if there's proactive or better support, that will justify the pricing. I haven't interacted with the Skyhigh Security technical support team yet, so I'd give pricing a four out of five rating for now."
"The biggest thing to watch for is the difference in price per monitored user for the different API integrations."
"They definitely charge a huge amount. All the security service providers charge a huge amount."
"Have a risk-based approach towards pricing."
"The tool is not expensive."
"The product is a little more expensive than other tools."
"The technical support is good."
"The price is competitive."
"Zscaler DLP solution is expensive, with a fixed pricing structure that is billed annually and monthly. There are no additional costs for licenses."
"In terms of market positioning, I would describe Zscaler Private Access as offering optimal pricing. Based on our experience, Cato Networks tends to be slightly more expensive."
"It's expensive currently. But when purchasing for a large number of users, there's room to negotiate. It's really up to the procurement team."
"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."
"Zscaler Private Access is extremely expensive."
