Find out in this report how the two Application Control solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to be able to do dynamic rate limiting on specific applications has been a valuable feature."
"It ensures that the health of each application can handle the set tasks and projects without any challenges."
"We can control bandwidth and high-risk application access from our network using application control."
"It does not require a lot of work to be activated and used."
"It improved the performance outcome for all our verticals due to more automation in system security, which helped in the identification and blockage of malware-affected applications and widgets."
"It has many important features that have greatly helped the company and the IT department."
"Its initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"The central management system provides a reliable platform for application control and URL filtering."
"Has a good zero trust feature."
"Overall, the solution does a pretty good job at web filtering."
"The tool's scalability is good."
"It has been helpful in maintaining our infrastructure. The granular level control it offers allows us to set application policies per application for each user."
"The most valuable features of Zscaler CASB are API integration and DLP."
"Zscaler CASB's latency and architecture are excellent."
"SD-WAN functionality can be added."
"Malware threats can advance attacks when there are no timely measures to curb online phishing attacks."
"The one feature that could be improved would be the ability to see implicit rules that are defaulted on the policy."
"I think that the pricing for the Check Point products should be reconsidered - we found it to be quite expensive to purchase and to maintain (the licenses and the support services need to be prolonged regularly), or create some additional bundles of the software blades with significant discounts in addition to the current Next Generation Threat Prevention & SandBlast (NGTX) and Next Generation Threat Prevention (NGTP) offers."
"At the moment I don't see the need to add new features. That said, you always have to be one step ahead."
"The whitelisting approach should only be on very specific applications. In which only a server should access a certain application and nothing else. If you miss something, you will have to always be investigating why it doesn't have access or why an application is not working."
"If you want to use Application Control over your whole environment you have to license it for all gateways. Otherwise, you can only work with a subset of it. Therefore, pricing can be quite an issue."
"It would be nice if there was a platform and small application owners could come and send their own applications' name and IP information from there."
"The solution's granularity should be improved because it has limited granular options to control, visible, allow, block, delay, and receive."
"User management can be improved."
"Zscaler CASB should include integrations with other SaaS applications."
"The pre-defined dictionaries could be improved."
"Zscaler CASB breaks down at times."
"It needs to offer SSO, single sign-on, and items of that nature."
