I use this solution for securing security controls like Secure Security Control (SSC) for local Internet breakouts. It offers a unified security policy across Google sites, providing secure web gateways, DNS and web security filtering, and multi-malware protection. These features are essential for comprehensive security.

Has a focus on DNS security features while more global coverage is needed
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The main feature of interest to me and the customers is DNS security and Integrated Secure Web Control (ISWC).
What needs improvement?
There is a need for improved global coverage since the service relies on the cloud provider's data centers. We are seeking more granular and global coverage to meet our demands.
Modernization is needed, specifically in the enhancement of security features and functionality. Utilizing AI-oriented features is also important, considering what other vendors offer and their marketing strategies.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
According to the vendor's claims, the solution is adaptable and scalable. I would rate scalability at eight to nine out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
I am not able to read their resources, but I understand they have a good support organization. This stems from their original business in networking, integrating router and switch operations, as well as security devices. I assume the same organization now bridges into customer support.

Goodbye Password Management!
