"Browser configuration and keeping browsers updated - impressive."

4/5

What do you like best about LayerX Browser Security Platform?

One of the things I appreciate most about LayerX is its ease of use when it comes to monitoring and configuring all the browsers in our organization. As someone who is responsible for ensuring that all browsers have a unified configuration, this tool allows me to accomplish that with a high degree of efficiency, all from the comfort of my own office. The reliability and consistency of the program is quite impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I must mention that the user interface could benefit from further refinement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LayerX Browser Security Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that this product addresses is the need for consistent configurations across all employee and vendor browsers. In addition – if a browser version is not updated for an end-user – it will notify the user about it and help them update the version. This is a crucial aspect of maintaining security and compliance within the organization, and LayerX enables us to accomplish this goal with a high degree of effectiveness, which is greatly beneficial for our company.

"LayerX allows me to protect our company's apps from data loss and account takeover"

5/5

What do you like best about LayerX Browser Security Platform?

LayerX has made my job significantly easier by helping me protect our company's SaaS applications. With so many employees accessing them from their personal devices, it's a constant worry that attackers will steal their passwords and gain access to our apps, download sensitive data from apps to their computer, or upload sensitive data to unauthorized SaaS apps. LayerX gives me peace of mind that these risks are mitigated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LayerX Browser Security Platform?

I have to manually require employees to add LayerX to their personal devices. It's a necessary step but it's not always easy to get everyone on board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LayerX Browser Security Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that this product is solving is restricting data uploading and downloading to unmanaged devices, in order to prevent malware and account compromise. This is incredibly beneficial for our company, as it helps keep our sensitive information secure and safe. But it's also a constant reminder of the risks we face as a company and the constant effort it takes to keep our data safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Finally! A proper solution for allowing contractors secure access to our online resources."

4.5/5

What do you like best about LayerX Browser Security Platform?

Finally! A proper solution for working with our contractors. As an IT manager I’m constantly tasked with providing our vendors with access to our online systems. It's tough enough with all the integrations and permissions they need, and in the past year I also have our security team breathing down my neck. LayerX solved that problem for me - contractors just need to use the extension on their browsers and poof! our systems and data are secured even when they use it.

What do you dislike about LayerX Browser Security Platform?

It would be nice if LayerX had a better way of explaining how it impacts contractors, since some of them aren’t keen on adding it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Better than a SWG and network solutions at securing web access for cloud first companies."

5/5

What do you like best about LayerX Browser Security Platform?

As a cloud-first company, most if not all of our work is done online. Traditionally, you would expect that we buy a secure web gateway or firewall to protect access to the web, but we found LayerX to be a way better and more cost effective solution for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LayerX Browser Security Platform?

It still misses some of the capabilities of a SWG but those are completely minor for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
