LayerX gave us another level of control that our existing DLP, endpoint security, and other zero trust tools couldn't. We were having difficulty managing things like browser extensions, use of personal SaaS account on work computers, and granular access policies. Implementing LayerX was like Christmas morning for security minded teams. On top of that, their account reps and support are all extremely nice and responsive.

LayerX Likes & Dislikes

The flexibility. There's been more than a couple times when I couldn't figure out how to do something in LayerX, reached out to their support, and they showed me quickly how what I needed could already be done with their tool, I just had to open my mind to a different way of thinking. In second place is their constantly updated (and delivered upon) roadmap. They are rapidly evolving their tool and that's exciting.

it's very intuitive. a lot of security

It has been useful in many ways like preventing users from unauthorized data uploads, access to malicious domains/urls, restrict usage of unapproved AI sites and also warning users about potential breach or violation of company policies while attempting to access restricted websites. The custom policies allow us greater control in implementing organization specific rules.

- Their API is a bit anemic. If you want to automate certain activities there's not a lot of options. - I mentioned flexibility as a strong point, but it can also make setting up policies somewhat abstruse. Policies can't be prioritized, so you have to get creative sometimes to accomplish your goals.

I really didnt find anything I disliked. there are some small report features that I would have liked to have

The layout of the Tags could be made in a better manner and the current layout looks like jumbled which makes it slightly hard to find the required tags to update.

LayerX is Powerful and Easy to work with - Enabling Secure Enterprise Browsers

LayerX is a superb product, that complements an organization's browser security. It has a wide array of capabilities that support security operations, while concurrently having little to no negative impact on employees. It is extremely intuitive. There are some things that can be improved, such as UI and filtering, but in it's current state, it is incredibly useful and easy to maintain.
