Provides real-time alerts and efficient data governance with easy integration
The best features of Amazon Macie include sensitive data identification, particularly for PII, which is pre-built and helpful because we don't have to define it ourselves. Those features are already embedded, which was beneficial. Additionally, some insights and alerts were coming up that were also pre-configured. It's not difficult to do that, but it's more of a build versus buy decision. These features were of great help to us. My experience with Amazon Macie's ability to provide alerts for suspicious activity in real-time has been good. We utilized the alerts for threat detection. Customizable features of Amazon Macie have helped significantly in maintaining fine-grained control over access and usage of sensitive information, offering a good combination of personalized options and out-of-the-box solutions.

Cloud-based platform simplifies device and data center management
I find it to be good. The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing. We are less dependent on data centers and device management, which reduces our efforts significantly. It improves our device management, data center management, and updating devices. We need fewer engineers for this management, and it reduces time and efforts for data center management, device upgrades, and IT support.

Cons

"Amazon Macie is expensive."
"They should work on a replica account. There could be alerts and replica files sent to the DLP team during data collection."
"To enhance their offering, it is advisable for them to focus on strengthening the foundation of their architecture. Additionally, they should consider integrating a broader range of services that go beyond what managed service providers typically offer independently."

"There aren't really any missing features that I have witnessed."
"We have issues with the tool's maintenance and networking. It should be able to work in offline mode as well."
"More on-prem infrastructure is required when Zscaler Private Access is to be implemented as a single point of entry."
"It would be better if the Zscaler Private Access team made it easier for people to find subscriptions on the portal, mainly information on what my customers subscribed to or the type of licenses purchased."

"The pricing is expensive and on the higher end. Honestly, in my opinion, it is not worth the price."

"In the long run, cloud services are not inherently costly."
"Zscaler Private Access is extremely expensive."
"Zscaler Private Access can be an expensive solution, depending on the license type you will purchase."
