Best application for Corporate Internet Security
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Zscaler Secure Web Security from other similar products?
ZScaler Web Security provides monitored internet connection and security avoids data leakage to the Cloud caused due to providing corporate data to online cloud applications by employees, and also provides minimal notifications to the end-users. The fact that all of these are provided by a single platform is what sets ZScaler Web Security apart from other similar products in the market.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The best thing I like about ZScaler Web Security is that it keeps my Internet browsing secure. I can safely browse the Internet without worrying about the consequences of browsing a website since ZScaler Internet security has been enabled. It warns me in case I would be entering a potentially dangerous website, and protects my system from the entry of viruses. To add to this, there are minimal notifications from ZS
What do you dislike most about this product?
There is nothing as such that I dislike in Zscaler Web Security. Though, I would like to suggest an enhancement in the visuals of the application. The current visuals are pretty plain. Maybe the visuals can be enhanced by providing a better User Interface like that of its competitors like Avira and Kaspersky. Another enhancement I would suggest is the inclusion of periodic Internet security reports for the end-user as well, to help provide transparency about the working efficiency of ZScaler Web Security.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would recommend all corporates to use ZScaler Web Security as it is really helpful for safe browsing of the Internet. In this day and age, it becomes difficult to understand which websites are secure and which are not. ZScaler Web Security is an intelligent tool that helps monitor data upload/download and ensures that data is not shared with unsafe websites either purposefully / by some mistake.
Pros
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Effective Service
- Inspires Innovation
