A scalable product that offers an easy-to-use interface
Some of the product users feel that the solution's storage part should be increased, especially when compared to products like Yahoo, which is an old tool in the market that offers unlimited storage to users. Other platforms offer more storage sizes than Google. The storage part of the solution, especially the storage capability offered by Google Drive, needs to be increased. There are certain shortcomings with the product's stability where improvements are required.

Needs to be easier to configure and to display logs more simply
We use only it for scanning files for viruses. That's the only feature we use in this product It needs to be easier to configure, it should be something that's working well with other sources. It should be something that allows me to see the logs simply. One to three years. Sometimes it doesn't…

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a stable platform."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of the Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy are file storage, a collaborative environment, and easy access."
"We only use what we need to put in the application to create a server, and we do not need to maintain the hardware."
"The tool is really good, especially for ease of implementation and having many options. We can build complex data pipelines and AI models, like web-based AI assistants or chatbots."
"I am impressed with the product's security."
"As with AWS, the solution is easy to install."
"It is a stable solution."
"From a technical point of view, products are stable and scalable, and we do appreciate the personal touch the sales engineers (SE) support and development bring, as well as the personal touch of the sales support, the free online, and web-based training."
"Safe-T is very good for users because it has a plug-in for Outlook."
"If you want a very flexible system that you can easily integrate, and develop interfaces for it or plug-ins to other application environments, it's probably the most flexible"
"It's easy to use over the web. A user who is not in the office can use it and securely insert files."
"This product allows us to actually send it straight from our email to the other person's email in a safe way, where we can meet all our regulations and still keep the data in our control."
"You can easily integrate it and fit the system to your organization's needs, and that's a very huge advantage."
"Safe-T SDA has allowed my organization to secure my office applications and makes it harder for hackers to be able to hack into my internal office web applications."
"We use only it for scanning files for viruses."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more reasonably priced. We find it to be a bit expensive right now."
"The solution is a bit complex and could be made easier to use."
"The solution's security should be improved."
"The setup could be more user-friendly."
"The solution should have better integration."
"The storage capacity of the product is an area that can be improved if it is made possible to increase it whenever you want."
"The cost of licenses could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing."
"Better UI. A better UI for the people that manage all the processes of Safe-T. Some of the UI is not as intuitive as you would like it to be."
"I'm not sure what advice I would give others about this product because I don't like Safe-T."
"When we have something that we want improved, it takes a little bit of time until it can be fixed."
"In terms of improvement, they need to be much more strict regarding the roadmap, about timelines and when new features will be up in production."
"The cloud solution is not that great especially with Swiss customers."
"Setting up Safe-T SDE is very complex. It is not straightforward, and it requires much understanding on the concepts of the product."
"One important thing that we haven't found in this product is the ability to provide a read-only view for documents. Also, the ability for the customer to add annotations to these documents."
"The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs. It is an expensive and premium solution."
"Compared to Oracle Cloud, especially with networking options (like VPN creation for free), Oracle Cloud offered better pricing."
"I think the price of Google Cloud Platform is reasonable. However, Microsoft is the most cost-effective solution for us because of Azure's integration. And we already have licenses for Windows Server and the databases, so the price is attractive."
"There is a need to make payments towards the license in charges attached to the product on a yearly basis."
"The customer purchases an annually sponsored license."
"The monthly payments made towards the licensing cost of the solution are not expensive."
"Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is an expensive solution."
"The solution's price is normal."
