"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"WildFire has been instrumental in blocking a number of new threats, before common desktop anti-virus tools were able to detect them."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"The solution’s customer service is good."
"Zscaler excels in security protection and the cloud is always up-to-date. It does not matter if you are a small or big organisation, you will receive the same security quality."
"For our needs, the cloud-native proxy architecture is a very good solution. We are moving away from on-prem appliances and moving more toward cloud-based solutions. Zscaler is a good fit for our strategy. This architecture helps with cyber threats because we inspect most of the traffic and we can see that a lot of threats are stopped directly in the secure web gateway."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is SWG traffic."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to drop packets."
"The URL filtering has been the most valuable feature."
"Tech support is good."
"The data loss prevention feature is the most valuable. It stops our users from inadvertently leaking our customers' data to the Internet or anywhere else it shouldn't go."
"Our main concern is that everything has to be synced with the WildFire Cloud and has to be checked through the subscription."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"They should make their user interface a little more user-friendly."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"Zscaler Internet Access needs to integrate more ISPs. It is good to have more than three ISPs."
"There are a few features that are not compatible with the Azure cloud."
"I don't know whether it's Zscaler or not, however, sometimes I can't access my time management. I need to wait and try again a few hours later. Typically, if I let some time pass, I can access it again."
"Zscaler needs to add client-to-client communication. It's always client-to-server communication. The cloud and branch connectors could be improved because we're still dependent on traditional firewalls. They should eliminate this. They should also provide WAN devices should to compete with the SD-WAN solutions also."
"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 does not provide dedicated IPs to each customer. Hence, they share a pool of IPs provided by Zscaler. There is a chance of blacklisting these IPs. I also do not like the multi-management portal."
"An improvement would be if they could provide an out-of-the-box experience, like 20 to 30 features all ready to go. In comparison, LogRhythm offers out-of-the-box features. With Zscaler Internet Access, there is firewall IPS, multiple security services, filtering, DLP, and CASB browser isolation. These are things that all users are going to be using. However, when an administrator or architect would start building this, I would definitely need to engage professional services to help clients do it."
