Cloud gateway has strengthened remote web security and now needs better Mac and ISP support

The problem our organization had is that iboss failed for the Mac devices. It is not able to give a successful agent for the Mac agents. That is where in 2025, we had to migrate to the Palo Alto-based platform. If your use case is for just Windows laptops,you can consider this platform as an option One issue is the data center resiliency part. In India especially, they are not tied up with the Tier 1 ISPs like Tata or Airtel; they were having Tier 2 ISPs and encountered many issues reaching few major sites that my organization depends on, and they were having problems that they could not fix quickly. They also lack a mechanism to route that traffic within their data center; rather, they ask customers to make a pac file change to route it to Singapore explicitly. It would be better if they route from their backend , i mean even if I send it to India DC, they should be able to route it internally to make that work; however, they fail to do that and ask the customer to route it in the pac file. Another suggestion is that in China, they do not have the proper setup; they used to have numerous problems with slowness and lack of premium circuits in China as well. That leads to multiple sites working slowly with latency-related issues. So the main issue is the ISP-related problems that need to be solved.

Centralized cloud access has strengthened identity control and simplified keyless logins

The best feature of CyberArk Secure Cloud Access is that private keys can be configured once and users can log in using CyberArk credentials. Instead of providing the private key every time into the system, it is not needed. With CyberArk, we do not require it and can directly use CyberArk credentials to access the virtual machines or run the pipelines. Using CyberArk credentials instead of private keys has made things easier for our team because previously every user had to remember the private key and store it somewhere else and insert it whenever they attempted to log into the server. This was cumbersome. Instead, organizations use CyberArk to configure the private keys, which helps because it is no longer required for users to store it on their system or somewhere else to maintain security. This additionally prevents users without access to the server from logging in. This feature of CyberArk Secure Cloud Access also reduces time and dependency on other people. Once a user is given access, they can be tracked anytime and anywhere. Access is revocable whenever people leave the organization. CyberArk Secure Cloud Access has positively impacted our organization because we have observed many changes. One significant impact is that since implementing it, the dependency on people has drastically been reduced. Additionally, we do not need to log in or store the private keys every time as they can be automatically configured.

Centralized access control has strengthened least privilege and streamlined audit compliance

The best features Veza offers in my experience are access visibility to see who can access what and which parts, relationship mapping of a user to roles, policies and resources, and risk detection such as over-permission and unused permission privileges. I can perform audit compliance using those features and the platform supports multiple platforms. Out of those features, I find risk detection to be the most valuable in my day-to-day work because I can check who has over-permission or unused permissions and understand relationship mapping and access visibility. Veza has positively impacted my organization by improving access for our users, allowing us to check the user and perform auditing for our system or organization. We are now able to implement least privilege practices, which has made our organization and system more secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is pretty sharp and very responsive."

"Our primary use case for this product is DLP,"

"iboss is among the few products providing inline filtering where no application is needed on the device. It operates on the network side and is not device-based. This feature was one of the main reasons why we stayed with them for so long."

"As I mentioned, the return on investment is significant, as it saved our office locations' bandwidth because when you are working remotely at home, your internet traffic routes directly to iboss and will not go to your office building, saving bandwidth bottlenecks and ensuring that issues with our building internet circuits will not impact your internet connectivity because you are directly going to the iboss data center."

"Because of iboss, I did not have to assign web filtering tasks to my techs on a daily basis."

"From a corporate perspective, I understand that it's important to keep the company data safe."

"Granular setup, which was able to set different levels of filters using the OUs in the AD."

"The security aspect of the solution, particularly the malware behind it, is excellent. That's something that really helped us out. It's not just a simple proxy that just blocks the insights of potential threats that come on behind it. They do malware detection and that helps us a lot."

More iboss pros

"We have reduced approximately 70 to 75 percent of our time when accessing resources through CyberArk Secure Cloud Access, and the productivity has significantly increased with respect to CyberArk Secure Cloud Access."

"The use of dynamic role-based access controls enhances our organization's cloud security as it is part of the controls that we require to meet our TFL obligations."

"We were partners and a Tier 1 partner with CyberArk Secure Cloud Access, so the support was very high."

"CyberArk Secure Cloud Access is a good product that is well positioned in the market as an enhancement that provides new possibilities beyond the classical PAM solution, for which CyberArk is most recognizable with its classical on-premises PAM."

"In CyberArk Secure Cloud Access, I find the central point where it is easy to access and easy to configure most valuable."

"CyberArk Secure Cloud Access offers unmatched security features, essential for critical sectors like finance and banking."

"CyberArk Secure Cloud Access has positively impacted my organization by reducing attack surfaces and improving compliance; it has helped us with ISO, SOC 2, and PCI DSS requirements."

"Access control has improved by more than 20% with CyberArk Secure Cloud Access, and with over 1,100 users utilizing this solution, I have eliminated the need for RDP access, ensuring that users can only access servers with the proper multi-factor authentication and manager approval, achieving complete coverage and reducing the risk of breaches."

More Idira Secure Cloud Access pros

"It's the only current GRC vendor with licensing rights for HITRUST 11.3 framework, and I've avoided expensive HITRUST licensing costs through a custom control framework."

"Veza has positively impacted my organization by improving access for our users, allowing us to check the user and perform auditing for our system or organization, and we are now able to implement least privilege practices, which has made our organization and system more secure."

Cons

"One thing I would like to see differently with their Zero Trust platform is that some of the AI aspects related to high-risk activities have more false positives."

"The reporting feature needs improvement."

"It is stable, but due to growth, it can sometimes be less stable than wanted."

"The problem our organization had is that iboss failed for the Mac devices; it is not able to give a successful agent for the Mac agents, and that is where in 2025 we had to migrate to the Palo Alto-based platform."

"Sometimes the agent stops working in iboss, and we have to reinstall the agent."

"To scale up, a new iboss Node Blade Chassis must be purchased."

"Sometimes, obviously, there are bugs."

"The reporting feature needs improvement. It doesn't give you the expected results. It is quite difficult to get the specific reports needed, and it is not as intuitive as the rest of the platform."

More iboss cons

"In South Africa, everything is expensive, so there is always going to be environments where this is seen as a luxury product instead of an enabler."

"The efficacy of the solution is more or less specific to particular use cases rather than generic use cases."

"I find the pricing definitely expensive, and it is something that we are debating as to whether we will continue longer term with CyberArk, but at the moment, it is the platform that is there and it is being rolled out to meet our TFL obligations, so it will continue, but there is significant discussion around the cost of the licenses."

"CyberArk Secure Cloud Access involves substantial effort when performing on-premises deployments."

"The customization of CyberArk Secure Cloud Access could be improved because I found scenarios where I could not provide the correct configuration due to insufficient options available."

"CyberArk Secure Cloud Access has limitations in support for on-premise teams. When issues arise with the VPN portal or the frontend, the admin team must directly engage the vendor, which can be time-consuming."

"CyberArk Secure Cloud Access can be improved as there is initial complexity and it is somewhat expensive."

"One small thing I think could be made better or easier to use in CyberArk Secure Cloud Access is that it is continuously evolving."

More Idira Secure Cloud Access cons

"Veza can be improved as it is currently not suitable for small projects due to its high cost, complex setup, and requirement for more integration with multiple systems."

"The support experience could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive compared to one of its competitors."

"We had the cost of purchasing a new appliance along with the implementation and licensing costs. However, the following year, the cost of just licensing was similar to what was paid the previous year for a new appliance along with the implementation and licensing costs."

"It is probably in line with other solutions, but I do not deal with the financial side."

"It is not expensive, and it is also not cheap. iboss is priced right in the sweet spot for the number of features it offers."

"We have not priced the solution recently, but they were competitive with other vendors in the past."

"The overall pricing for iboss is very competitive and transparent."
