What differentiates Zscaler Secure Web Security from other similar products?

ZScaler offers software that differs from others because it has a fairly simple implementation thanks to its being based on the cloud, its protection is in real time so it tends to recognize threats quickly and prevents users from being exposed to threats from malicious sites , provides high visibility of web traffic in a way that makes it possible to prevent the same employees of the company from accessing sites that put the company at risk, allows to configure unique policies for different locations.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

What I like the most about this ZScaler software is how it provides high visibility of web traffic so that it makes it possible to prevent the same employees of the company from accessing sites that put the company at risk, which automatically blocks viruses , malware, spyware and even the creation of scripts between sites, phishing sites and P2P applications that can be vectors of infection, such as BitTorrent, in addition to the fact that it has a high flexibility to let the user set their own policies security or decide to stay with the default ones.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes there is a delay in Internet access since the service inspects the content in a relatively distant data center, however it is not something that happens often, also its initial configuration can be somewhat complex, especially for beginners in the management of these software.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Be clear about the level of protection you want to provide to your company, since the software offers levels according to the amount of protection and customization you want for your company, as well as the number of users.
