If the reporting dashboard allowed more customizable CSV reports, it would be so good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Layer X blocks malicious and known phishing pages directly in the browser, with minimal impact on workflows. This helps improve the company’s security at a base level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, tuning the policy settings was confusing, but now I’m not having any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to create policies based on the actual actions our employees took online. We recently found out some of our users had accidentally uploaded sensitive data to an unauthorized SaaS application. We were able to quickly fix the issue but needed a solution to prevent this from recurring in the future. LayerX was the solution we found. I can see what actions users are taking, but most importantly, I can set policies to determine what employees are permitted or prohibited to do. I was able to set policies based on a few different characteristics, like the user’s role, where they accessed from, what they did and the types of risks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just took me a few minutes to figure out how to create the first policy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to use and helps me get my job done in an easier fashion. I work at our IT department and have to run performance checks on the applications our employees use. It’s not my favorite part of the job but it needs to be done. Otherwise, unauthorized applications (also known in our industry as shadow IT) might be used and could constitute a risk to our systems. With LayerX I can get reports of how our employees use any applications and identify the unauthorized ones. I can easily see which applications are being used, if accounts are being shared and if data is being leaked. It is all made accessible to me in a clear mapping and in reports.

It doesn’t solve the issue of me having to monitor employees for the applications they use :( Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that LayerX is its ability to enforce organization-wide policies with just one click.

Unfortunately in the past we have had ocassions where some of our employees have installed unauthorized browser extensions, which had malware that infiltrated our systems. This led to major financial repercussions.

LayerX makes it easy for me to create and implement policies that prevents the addition of any extension across all company browsers, which is a great way to prevent employees from adding malicious browser extensions that could create an internal breach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any particular dislikes to note. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s amazing how quickly LayerX detects user behavior that's out of line. It keeps me calm knowing that if someone's trying to steal our data, we'll catch them sooner rather than later. It's like having an extra set of eyes on our network, always watching out for any suspicious activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As for dislikes, I'll be honest, I would love it if there was an ability for me to get alerts on my phone. It would make it even more convenient for me to stay on top of things and know what's happening on my network even when I'm not at my desk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I absolutely love the high block rate of phishing attacks that LayerX provides! It's such a relief to have found a solution that prevents these types of attacks on our websites. Before, our employees were getting scammed and we were dealing with compromised credentials and file dropping. Our previous solution, a DNS firewall and threat intelligence feeds, just wasn't keeping up with new types of phishing attacks. But with LayerX, the AI technology is able to solve these problems, which is greatly benefiting our company by identifying malicious content, preventing credential theft and social engineering on webpages.

I don't really have a "dislike". LayerX has surpassed my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LayerX is one heck of a game changer for us. We recently rolled it out at our company and one of the things I love most about it is how easy it was for us to deploy. We're always getting pushback from employees about how our security requirements slow them down, but with this one, crickets. Deployed in just a few minutes and we never heard from them again. I even checked with IT, not a peep. It's a game changer for us in the security department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't say there's anything I really dislike about it, but it would be nice if it had an EDR solution. But that isn’t a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
