Overall Satisfaction with Netskope NextGen SWG

We are using Netskope NextGen SWG for data leakage prevention because it has strong DLP (Data Loss Prevention) policy capabilities. We have implemented policies mainly for browsing and downloading activities. When a user needs to upload data to a website, we allow it only based on specific business requirements. This approach helps us reduce the surface area for potential data leakage while still supporting necessary business operations and maintaining compliance.

Pros

  • Granular control on the basis of Activity like browse , download , upload, Post etc.
  • Threat Protection.
  • Content Post control on Gen AI platforms like ChatGPT and Copilot.

Cons

  • Netskope NextGen SWG could improve in DLP enforcement. Sometimes policies don’t apply consistently across certain websites, even when configured.
  • In custom connectors, DLP features are not supported.
  • Reduced Data Leakage Risk.
  • Better Visibility like what type of website and application user are using within the org. and what kind of data user are uploading.
I give Netskope NextGen SWG an 8 because it helps us maintain compliance and security effectively. The platform works reliably, and the granular control it provides over web activities is very strong. Compared to other solutions like Zscaler (ZIA), Netskope offers a deeper level of control, which makes it more effective for our needs.
I have also worked on Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA). While ZIA provides strong cloud-based security, Netskope NextGen SWG offered more granular control over web activities and SaaS applications, which better matched our compliance and data protection needs.

Netskope makes it easier to manage SaaS apps such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Office 365, and other enterprise applications by allowing different rules for personal and corporate accounts. It provides detailed control over these platforms. For example, in OneDrive, you can set policies so that a user is allowed to share files only with a specific domain or individual, and restrict sharing in the opposite direction as needed.
