They have provided us with a reliable and complete cloud-based secure web gateway solution that has many powerful features such as data loss prevention, cloud access safety, better and advanced threat detective and preventive capability, as well as email security as an added feature. Its best aspect is its AMD function that uses cloud sandboxing to separate bad code to secure our network from malware.
What do you dislike most about this product?
In terms of usefulness and simplicity, the freshly released edition of this product falls short of our expectations. One of the most serious issues of this product was that it had become sluggish, but it now just works well and does not produce the flaws that it did previously. Diagnosing issues was a huge burden for us.
