Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Zero trust access has transformed remote connectivity and now simplifies secure app usage

Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform, especially Zscaler Private Access, is very strong, though there are a few areas where improvements can be made. One challenge observed is around initial troubleshooting and visibility. While Zscaler Private Access provides logs, it can sometimes take time to pinpoint the exact cause of access issues, especially in complex environments with multiple policies and identity integration. Another area is the dependency on identity and connector health. Since Zscaler Private Access is heavily reliant on app connectors and identity providers, any issues with these components can impact user access, making proper monitoring critical. During the initial setup, policy configuration and application onboarding require careful planning, especially for larger environments with many applications. These challenges are manageable with proper design and monitoring. Overall, the platform delivers strong security and user experience. I would recommend a few improvements, especially around user interface, reporting, and troubleshooting experience. From a user interface perspective, while the platform is powerful, the policy configuration and navigation can feel complex, especially for new users. A more simplified and intuitive layout for policy mapping and application access would help reduce the learning curve. In terms of reporting, Zscaler Private Access provides logs, but having more built-in customizable dashboards and analytics would be very helpful. Better visibility into user access patterns, application performance, and real-time troubleshooting insights would improve operational efficiency. From a support and troubleshooting standpoint, it would be beneficial to have more granular centralized visibility, allowing for quick end-to-end tracing of a user request from authentication to application access without switching between multiple views. These improvements would make the platform even more efficient, especially for large-scale enterprise environments.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform removes the risk of exposing the applications to the public."

"Cloudflare One has assisted in securing my remote workforce through a SASE solution with Cloudflare One and the Workers part, although I am not currently using the Workers component."

"The best feature is rate limiting. If I'm expecting 500 visits per hour, Cloudflare will limit the requests if I suddenly get 50,000."

"It is a stable solution."

"I'm very satisfied with the environment and the dashboard."

"The blocking feature is very good."

"What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection."

"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."

More Cloudflare One pros

"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."

"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."

"Safetica NXT provides you with an enterprise-quality data loss prevention system that anybody can pick up because the cost is low and it's easy to manage."

"The current version of the solution is stable...It is easy to scale the solution."

"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."

"Safetica ONE is easy to use and set up. We can set up rules and policies quickly."

"This is a good solution, is easy to deploy and is scalable."

"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."

More Safetica ONE pros

"It has been helpful in maintaining our infrastructure. The granular level control it offers allows us to set application policies per application for each user."

"The most valuable features are the File Type Control and SSL bypass policies. We"

"I like the web filtering capabilities."

"It is a stable solution."

"Its impressive scalability allows the combination of multiple dictionaries and using them as one engine, resulting in narrower data loss gaps."

"I like its ease of use. It has a single pane of glass for the ZIA and ZPA pieces. It is very manageable. It is also very easy to deploy for secure access, and it gives half-decent coverage for visibility in terms of what the users use and what data is being proxied through the access gateway."

"The most valuable features of Zscaler CASB are API integration and DLP."

"I would recommend Zscaler Cloud DLP to others because it's the best proxy product in the market at the moment."

More Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform pros

Cons

"For the topic of improvement, providing some training material is one of my suggestions."

"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."

"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."

"The tool should provide on-premise versions. Currently, all versions are cloud-based."

"Cloudflare One is not very powerful, but for what we require, it is basic and sufficient."

"I would like them to include a VPN feature to provide a secure connection to the data center."

"Operating and tuning the product is difficult."

More Cloudflare One cons

"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."

"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."

"Safetica One has every other thing that you need, so I cannot give Safetica NXT a higher mark because it does not have the full features of the enterprise solutions."

"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."

"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."

"Safetica One has every other thing that you need, so I cannot give Safetica NXT a higher mark because it does not have the full features of the enterprise solutions."

"This solution could be improved if it was available on Linux as well. Currently it can only be deployed on Mac and Windows."

"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."

More Safetica ONE cons

"More on-prem infrastructure is required when Zscaler Private Access is to be implemented as a single point of entry."

"There are latency issues with the solution. They are small, however, they are there when you compare it to other vendors."

"The DX layer could be better if it had improved visibility."

"Another area of improvement is implementation through non-client connectors. The solution can be implemented in two ways. One uses the back file; the other one uses client connectors. So the client connector is pretty fast, but when it comes to non-client connectors and procedures, it's kind of delayed and slow."

"The only issue with Zscaler Cloud DLP is that it only gives you DLP protection from web traffic, which is flowing out, while a full-blown DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec gives you DLP coverage for multiple channels."

"SCMP support would be one of the biggest improvements in my opinion. More speed improvements are also required."

"We have issues with the tool's maintenance and networking. It should be able to work in offline mode as well."

"It has massive room for improvement. The Zscaler product itself is okay, but it doesn't give enough granularity for us as an organization to stipulate rules or processes, especially for data-driven services. For instance, we can stick on SSL inspection, but it's just a click box. It doesn't allow us to go any further into the detail of the SSL inspection. We also can't pull it out without having an additional logging server. It just doesn't give us enough granularity. They should give us more control over the interfaces because it is all backend. They weren't very open to discussing their backend architecture with us in terms of their own data centers. They can maybe a little bit more open about what components are there and how the backend infrastructure works alongside Zscaler. Its licensing can be better. Some of the additional licensing costs are quite high, and they should have certain features ready and available as a baseline rather than having to purchase additional licenses for it. Their support should also be improved. I initially had a consultant from Zscaler for its deployment, but the support that I had throughout the deployment of the project wasn't the best."
