We performed a comparison between Check Point Web Gateway and Zscaler Internet Access based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Secure Web Gateways (SWG) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The solution is stable."
"The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The product covers all the security needs of roaming users."
"Application control gives IT teams an opportunity to set suitable policies that can be used by all teams when coding."
"It can also be used as a reverse proxy through the checkpoint."
"Application control allows the administrator to create granular policies based on users to allow, block, or limit access."
"You don't have to wander around the tool since it is very simple. You can grab and get a hold of the tool very quickly."
"The implementation of this tool was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature that I see in the application is the filtering of the URLs."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to drop packets."
"The users are at different locations, and Zscaler helps us to put the organization's central security controls on these roaming users."
"Zscaler Web Security protects our users in remote locations from internet threats - even if they are not connected to our network."
"The protection is most valuable."
"All internet access flows through the Zscaler proxy, regardless of whether people are in office or remote. I have greater control site access and I minimize the number of compromises that we experience to almost none."
"The solution is scalable and stable."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The initial setup was straightforward. The biggest thing for us was to build our own policies. The deployment itself was only a few hours."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"It is not user-friendly."
"The documentation must be improved."
"Check Point Web Gateway could improve the user interface. It could be made more modern."
"Most of the time, we are struggling when it comes to getting support."
"I would like to be able to see an integration with centralized management services."
"For the most modern versions, there currently is no documentation, or it is more difficult to find it."
"I would like to see improvement in the tool's availability."
"There should be an improvement in interface integration."
"There are some performance issues when we add on additional controls."
"Sometimes, support isn't available."
"The price of the solution could be improved."
"In terms of usage, here in the GCC, it's still growing a growing market, so the combination of DLP, data leak prevention, to a certain extent is fine. But what it requires is user-based access or role-based access. The solution needs to grow into that, which definitely takes time. There's not an easy way to integrate it, when you have a cloud-based solution."
"The main issue with Zscaler Internet Access is proxy IP detection, which sometimes makes sites inaccessible."
"In terms of user experience, it could be better."
"Zscaler Internet Access could improve by adding a VPN feature."
"Zscaler Internet Access needs to integrate more ISPs. It is good to have more than three ISPs."
