User Testimonials
	Cisco Cloud Web Security	NordLayer
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco Remote and telework but not for onsite filtering. Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Senior Network Security Engineer Read full review	Nord Security NordLayer has become an invaluable resource for our security posture and day-to-day activity. The primary use case is preventing staff members from accessing sensitive resources on an unencrypted connection, applying NordLayer and conditional access policies in congruency. The ability to create teams and assigned them to specific dedicated servers is also helpful and allows for further security segmentation Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Cons	Cisco Intuitiveness of the UI Real time reporting Report detail Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Senior Network Security Engineer Read full review	Nord Security The browser plugin needs some work, or some research about what browser/OS restrictions may limit its functionality. Ours does not work at all even after contacting support so we do not use it Toast/Windows notifications scheduled or deployed through admin center would be amazing. The ability to remind a user who has been disconnected for X hours would be a great feature Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
