Zscaler fell back to 5th, 6th, and 7th in technical use cases. While Zscaler’s cloud security rankings decline year over year, Netskope ranked #1 and #2 for the same technical use cases, making Netskope a preferred Zscaler alternative. In the end, your data, users, and apps need to be protected on any network or device.

Netskope ranked #1 for connecting and securing remote workers while Zscaler ranked #5. Even though their marketing is about zero trust access, the capabilities are just not there. An innovation example is Netskope ZTNA Next combining ZTNA with SD-WAN into one client to replace VPNs.
Netskope ranked #1 while Zscaler ranked #7 for protecting sensitive data. Zero Trust is about data flowing through the other components including apps, users, devices, and networks. This is ground zero for SSE where Netskope provides 3,000+ data identifiers compared to only 39 from Zscaler.
Netskope ranked #2 while Zscaler ranked #6 for threat protection. The base line starts with patient zero protection, sandboxing, ML classifiers, and decoding APIs, and then extends to adaptive access to prevent compromise, a capability Zscaler lacks maturity in. Plus Netskope was just awarded three patents for its ML-based phishing detection.
Netskope ranked #2 while Zscaler ranked #7 as URL filtering is no longer enough. Cloud controls from Netskope include instance awareness for hundreds of apps, plus 100+ app activity controls, and app risk ratings for 63,000+ apps. Zero trust requires rich context for adaptive access controls and real-time coaching to users, not just allow or deny.
Off loading logs is your main option with Zscaler while Netskope provides transaction event streaming and graphic visualizations for app trends, user behaviors, data movement, and unknown risks. Plus user risk scoring leverages behavior anomalies (UEBA) in adaptive access policies, context in use, not just in logs.
Zscaler has multiple unconnected access zones, extra access fees and surcharges, and lacks performance in mainland China. Compared to competitors like Netskope with one global access network zone covering more regions, extensive peering for faster on-ramps, and stricter SLAs to back up performance.

Netskope is known for partnering with customers making the transformation from on-premises security defenses to cloud-edge, or from Zscaler to Netskope, we know what it takes for success and have been through the journey many times.
Netskope inspects web traffic and thousands of apps and cloud services with the ability to decode business transactions to understand content and context in real-time, all backed by an unmatched 50ms round-trip SLA for TLS traffic inspection.
Rich context enables adaptive access controls by app, instance, app risk, user trust, 100+ app activities, and data sensitivity, plus providing real-time user coaching and advisory alerts, requesting step-up authentication, or limiting data movement during business transactions.
Context also enables data protection policies to reduce the surface of risky activities and behaviors before applying DLP, including AI/ML classifiers for documents and images across web, SaaS, IaaS, and email with one platform, console, and policy engine. Data is at the center of the zero trust model as it interacts with users, apps, devices, and networks.
From patient zero protection to inline ML-based analysis of files and for phishing attacks to proactively protect users. Plus, backed by deep analysis with heuristics, pre-execution analysis, multi-stage sandboxing with MITRE ATT&CK analytics, as well as Patient Zero alerts, and a RetroHunt API. Scan everything with cloud scale and performance.
Maximize your continuous monitoring to refine least privilege with Netskope Advanced Analytics providing insightful visualizations on app risks, data movement, user behavior, threats, insiders, risky users, and data theft. Analyze web, SaaS, IaaS, email, and private access activities in one platform with ready to use dashboards.
