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."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 most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"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."
"It has an excellent threat prevention mechanism."
"The implementation of this tool was straightforward."
"It can also be used as a reverse proxy through the checkpoint."
"It's easy to deploy this tool."
"One of its rather outstanding capabilities is its ability to add an extra layer of protection to our company's internal network."
"I think this solution is very helpful to our customers because its cloud-based security can be deployed quickly and maintained easily."
"It offers good security and we use it when we want to implement the best security in an organization due to the fact that it gives us broader visibility."
"The product covers all the security needs of roaming users."
"After a proper implementation, the maintenance is very low."
"Tech support is good."
"Overall, we're very happy with our product."
"We enjoy all of the proxy capabilities and the capability to integrate into the SIEM/SOC solution."
"The most valuable features I found in Zscaler Internet Access are the restriction of users for a particular URL, the security feature related to stopping DDoS, and the VPN."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to drop packets."
"The most valuable feature of Zscaler Internet Access is that it is a consolidated solution, it comes with many features, such as DLP."
"In terms of management and visibility, there is a single panel where you can configure the policies for your entire organisation worldwide."
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"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."
"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 solution should improve integration."
"The learning curve is complex for new users."
"Check Point Web Gateway could improve the user interface. It could be made more modern."
"Check Point Web Gateway could add an end point access function."
"I would like to be able to see an integration with centralized management services."
"It is expensive. Its price should be better."
"The tool's response time can be improved since sometimes it lags, but not always...The tool's UI should be made more dynamic."
"Perhaps the latency in the administrative part of the portal would be a point of improvement."
"If they can also integrate with the multi-factor authentication to prompt users to do another, second-factor authentication, that would be ideal."
"Zscaler should provide adjacent services, which would be complementary to their current offering that could to be more pragmatic for a customer. For example, if you take Akamai, you get multiple sets of services, all depending on the customer and the strategy and the complexity and the problems. In some areas, they are more varied in terms of coverage."
"I would like to see the ability to choose a pool of IPs for my company, set up rules based on them, and know that those IPs are not used by other companies."
"Zscaler Internet Access can improve by adding traffic filtering based on the DNS."
"The solution can be improved by advancing some of the newer technologies such as the DLP feature, and adding email security."
"The tool should improve the predefined dictionaries."
"Zscaler Internet Access needs to integrate more ISPs. It is good to have more than three ISPs."
"I would like to see more training and video documentation."
