“Intuitive Interface Enables Granular Control Over On-Prem and Cloud Resource Access”

3.0
Jun 27, 2025
I find that the interface is intuitive, making it easy to configure changes and implement policies. It provides a fair amount of flexibility in configuring access to on-prem and cloud resources. This allows for much more granular control of access than a traditional VPN.

A centralized place to see all define policies, track all kind of traffic insights, troubleshoot all kind of issue from a single console, track the source of block and a centralized logs to track which policy is blocking traffic or access.

Integration with our IdP has been challenging. The API lacks some documentation.

The cost is very high for the ZTE implementation for each users.
