Netskope Private Access is a zero trust access solution, that allows users to provide remote access to applications running in the public cloud and private data center environments, and avoid the need for remote users to use a VPN through the corporate network to gain access to private applications.
The existing system was Fortigate. The management of the system was a hassle. Because IT personnel had to manually create VPN accounts, user passwords were known to who created them and the end user did not have a way to change them. This created a security issue in the …

Netskope Private Access is a much more intuitive as a VPN solution than Sonicwall, that in our experience needs more maintenance and is more prone to fail. When used as a proxy solution is much more complete than the Layer 7 filters of the Fortigate and allows for a much more …
I would recommend AppGate SDP to anyone that has fairly clear cut use cases for systems with user access with less than 5K resources per user. We found it works well in those cases and fully as advertised. The application can easily hide applications and resources from unauthorized access and is a reliable tool in your ZeroTrust arsenal.
I think it´s a very good tool, it´s usage it´s very intuitive and the UI is very clean and responsive. When used as a remote access tool, we have it integrated with azure and the user login is done through the Microsoft account, so we have insight of the location logins centralized in Defender 365 and it´s very easy to use for the end user
Live logging in the client. Currently you have to "download" the logs into a zip file and then open that zipfile to look at the logs. There's no logfile to tail or watch.
Load balancing between controllers could be better. Currently relies on round robin DNS and sometimes a browser will pick a different IP than previous and you'll get a big "LOST CONNECTION TO CONTROLLER" message.
As I said before, I find it´s UI very intuitive and it´s very easy to use and configure, everything is where it should be and allows for a good workflow. For the end user it´s only a login page that pops out automatically and close itself once it´s authenticated so it stay out of the way of the user.
The company has been supportive overall of our needs and desired features. I have not personally called the support services, but I've heard no direct complaints either.
The support is good, but the problem is that even if you indicate that you prefer support in Spanish, the application indicates that it is available. I have never had a technician who spoke to me in Spanish.
The process was smooth and well managed. There was probably good technical coordination and support. There were only minor details that could be improved.
The existing system was FortiGate. The management of the system was a hassle. Because IT personnel had to manually create VPN accounts, user passwords were known to who created them and the end user did not have a way to change them. This created a security issue in the event an IT engineer left the company.

It freed up IT personnel time. No longer did they have to manually create the account on the VPN endpoint and manually install the client or create VPN profiles on the employees computer.
