We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There are several valuable features, like advanced security protections, especially the DLP (Data Loss Protection), and there's also browser and web filtering, or content filtering for our users to protect them when accessing certain links or websites, ensuring their security and permission.""In the firewall, we don't have a user-based policies list, and we can't create them. Netskope helps us to create user-based policies. For example, if there are specific teams like HR or more than nine teams, and we want logs from access over particular URLs, and we don't want to allow that specific URL for certain users, we can create these policies in Netskope. It's handy, easy to use for new users, and has a cool GUI interface. We can create multiple policies, and as for the proxy, it's a leading solution.""It is a stable solution.""The most valuable feature is being able to see who is accessing the application, whether it is a managed device or a bring-your-own-device published by Netskope.""Even without extensive training, if you're a proficient IT professional, you can easily configure it.""The initial setup of Netskope Private Access is pretty simple and straightforward.""The base features have been fantastic. The ability to be able to granularly assign application access to end-users has been really good.""With private access or next-gen VPN, they are able to keep you secure, but they are invisible in terms of how they do it. Anybody working from home and trying to bring up VPN quickly can pretty much get VPN up and running in a matter of minutes because this doesn't require any VPN technology on-prem. All the VPN technologies that you're using to access applications on-premise can be eliminated by using their software. If you're accessing Microsoft 365 or salesforce.com, you can go straight out from your home office or home internet to that application rather than having to come through a VPN. It still has all the policies enforced, and it mitigates any business risks in terms of how that user is accessing that application and what they're doing inside of it. VPN piece is really critical, especially at this time of Covid, and your latency also goes down. Your latency gets better by using the platform because they're intercepting your traffic, routing it through their local data center, and then sending it to whichever SaaS service or whatever you're going to. It does it better, faster, and quicker with all your governance policies enforced, rather than you having to go through your data center. So, all the traffic gets hauls there, and then that traffic has got to route somewhere else, and then it has got to go up to the cloud. Your latency actually goes down. They can guarantee 15 milliseconds or less pretty much across anywhere on the planet for about 95% or 90% of it."

"Perimeter 81 provides a very secure and non-disruptive experience.""The ease of use not only translates to quick adoption rates - it also ensures that our employees remain compliant with our cybersecurity protocols, enhancing the overall security posture of our organization.""Their split tunneling feature has been very valuable to our company since implementing the Perimeter 81 solution.""SD-WAN is one of the primary solutions offered by Perimeter 81.""Our operators can work from home without any problems.""Perimeter 81 has increased my security and privacy while maintaining solid internet performance.""Perimeter 81 is very pretty.""The setup is really easy...I rate the support team a ten out of ten."

Cons
"Netskope Private Access only supports TCP and UDP ports and does not support ICMP or ping.""The solution needs to develop faster features. Its interoperability feature is not working. It takes six months to one year for any product to implement the improvements. However, the process should be faster to implement the changes quickly.""Netskope Private Access allows mapping only one DNS server. If a user uses a secondary DNS on-premises, Netskope fails to disconnect them. This is an issue that needs to be addressed.""The ability to provide more security around agentless access has room for improvement.""Netskope detects certain data or contents, but there are some limitations on how we can customize those policies for DLP.""The product is not easy to use.""We faced certain issues with China users as it can be rather challenging for them due to the presence of Great Firewall.""The main challenge we are facing across various Trust Network Access (TNA) technologies, including Netskope, is their inability to support broadcast applications or those relying on broadcasting protocols."

More Netskope Private Access Cons →

"If I were to be nitpicky, I would ask that Perimeter 81 offer the option for us to change the color of the graphical user interface, like maybe pink or green or so on.""It would be nice to have a notification sound when Perimeter81 disconnects, as I sometimes don't notice when the icon shows that it's disconnected, and I end up wasting time waiting for my browser to load a page that shows an error, usually error 404.""Perimeter 81 could enhance its reporting and analytics capabilities to provide more detailed insights into network activity.""One of our challenges is ensuring the security of our cloud-based operations.""One of the more negative experiences using Perimeter 81 is the fact that I am logged off after a pre-determined amount of time which cuts off access to some of my company's resources.""Its initial setup process is complex for a hybrid environment.""The platform still lacks relevant dashboards and the ability to customize them based on our needs.""A Google Chrome extension would be handy instead of logging into the app."
