Netskope Private Access provides only authenticated users to access the application and it only allows those users whose access has been provided. It provides fast and secure access to the application, whereas a VPN allows users to connect to the whole network once the VPN is connected. Sometimes due to some back-end changes at the stitcher or management plane user is not able to connect the application which leads to customer business.

• It enables remote users to connect the on premise or cloud hosted application.
• It overcomes the drawbacks of VPN.
• It only allows the genuine user to access the application.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Publisher upgrade should be pre intimidated.
• NPA user interface can be more simplified.
• Backend changes should be notified.

This created a security issue in the event an IT engineer left the company.
