Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Enables me to work from two locations.""It's the endpoint exposition. We don't need to expose our VPN server to the internet and need a zero-test solution. I can apply some conditional access to the endpoint that's connecting to our network to check their security policies or the security condition of their workstation. Once the workstation is trying to connect to my internal network, then I would like to check the discrete condition of these endpoints that are trying to access my internal network. We created some conditional access. We have CrowdStrike, to check if the CrowdStrike is installed, to check if it's updated, and to check for Windows updates. We created some conditional policies to check it.""Cloudflare, in my opinion, was easy to implement.""The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good.""For Cloudflare Access, I am using the free plan...The most valuable feature is their protection."

More Cloudflare Access Pros →

"One of the valuable features of the solution is that everything is on the cloud. It has no on-premise hardware to deal with.""The solution offers good security functionality.""Prevents data leakage and protects data.""We can connect cloud apps and monitor them.""It is for secure web trafficking, and it is doing what it needs to do. It allows customers to consolidate and eliminate multiple technologies onto Netskope and just kind of turn the dial and use more features, such as CASB, VPN. SWG is another feature. You can monitor and govern all the traffic.""There are a lot of features, but the groups that are created for the policy groups available with Netskope are already relevant to any industry. So grouping the policies is the easiest part and a valuable feature.""We've found the solution to be quite stable.""Web filtering and DLP are good features."

Cons
"They don't have a person to provide support for customers using the solution under their free plan.""When there are any dynamic changes in complex applications, the tool takes a lot of time, making its analytics-related area a major matter of concern where improvements are needed.""For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions.""The pricing is an area that can be improved. Pricing, as far as I recall, was the source of our problems."

More Cloudflare Access Cons →

"Netskope Next Gen Secure Web Gateway needs to integrate IoT, which can help to control devices.""The solution could improve the features for Zero Trust Network Access. They should add more security components to that module.""Since they have the Netskope client, adding some functionality in the endpoint would be good.""The initial setup is a bit complex in that it takes a lot of time. In order to get the product to work as you need it to, there is a lot of configuration required.""They should work on marketing material to put out their work with a little more effort.""Improvement in the solution is required in certain areas where the product does not provide access to its direct end users, who use the portal as an administrator.""The accuracy could be improved.""There is room for improvement in streamlining policies. So what happens is that when you apply a specific Netskope policy, you never know the kind of content it will automatically block, or it will allow."
