Coming from Netskope?
Netskope won on depth: the sharpest eyes on cloud-app traffic, DLP that genuinely understands your data, NewEdge for speed. That depth is real, and worth keeping. What always sat beside it was a network to run and a team to run it, both left to you. Open Systems Autonomous SASE keeps the data-centric depth and adds the missing half: the network, and Level-3 engineers who operate it.
What you have becomes what you get.
Every Netskope building block has a direct equivalent on the platform. Nothing is lost in translation.
