Transparent and Seamless Browser Isolation with User-Friendly GUI.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Menlo Security is how easy it is to manage and how seamless it is for end users. The admin console is simple and intuitive, so rolling out policies, monitoring activity, and making changes is straightforward. It doesn’t require a lot of day-to-day tweaking, which saves our team time and makes managing it much easier overall.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little to dislike, but the initial setup and regional routing can require some fine-tuning, especially for organizations outside major regions. This may cause minor website behavior differences during onboarding, though it’s not a major issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Menlo Security protects our users from web-based threats like malware and phishing without getting in the way of their work. By isolating web activity, it lowers the risk of infections and suspicious downloads while still letting users browse normally. For our team, that means fewer alerts, fewer incidents to chase down, and more time to focus on other security priorities, all without users really noticing it’s there.
Enhanced Web Security with Remote Isolation
What do you like best about the product?
I like Menlo Security for its strong visibility on web activity and simple policy configuration. It improves web security by rendering unverified or risky websites in a remote environment, ensuring that malware cannot execute on corporate devices, which protects endpoints without disruptive blocking for users. The setup was relatively easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Debugging user-specific issues can be challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Menlo Security product delivers exactly what is required by our organisation. Browser Isolation with it's fully flexible options is a key security tool, with a simple intuitive platform that is easy to use.

Strong Browser Security That Just Works Without Impacting Users That's Menlo Security
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Menlo Security is how easy it is to administer and how transparent it is to the end users. From an admin perspective, the management console is straightforward and intuitive, which makes it easy to roll out policies, monitor activity, and make changes without unnecessary complexity. Day-to-day operations don’t require constant tuning, which saves a lot of time for our security team.
On the user side, Menlo runs quietly in the background. Most employees don’t even notice that their browser traffic is being protected because there’s no noticeable impact on performance or browsing experience. This balance—strong security without disrupting productivity—is what really sets Menlo apart for us.

What do you dislike about the product?
There isn’t much to dislike overall, but if I had to point something out, it would be the initial setup and fine-tuning, especially around regional routing and localization. For organizations outside major regions, some websites may behave slightly differently at first due to cloud egress locations. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it does require some coordination during onboarding.
That said, Menlo’s support team has been responsive and helpful whenever we’ve raised concerns, and once everything is properly configured, the platform runs very smoothly with minimal ongoing issues.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Menlo Security addresses the risk of users unknowingly accessing dangerous or malicious websites. No matter how strong user awareness training is, there will always be cases where someone clicks a suspicious link or visits an unsafe site. With Menlo’s browser isolation and cloud-based protection, those threats are contained before they can ever reach the endpoint or our internal network.
The biggest benefit for me as an administrator is the confidence it provides. I have peace of mind knowing that even if users make mistakes while browsing, the organization remains secure. This allows us to focus less on reacting to web-based incidents and more on improving our overall security posture, while users can work freely without feeling restricted.

Menlo Review
What do you like best about the product?
The customer service is excellent, and the user interface is both fantastic and intuitive, making it easy to find and navigate to the items you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
One challenge I often face is the time zone difference when seeking help from the service desk. Frequently, I am connected with someone based in the India time zone, which can be inconvenient. Since I work a standard 9-5 schedule in the GMT time zone, it would be much more efficient to communicate with support staff who are available during the same hours for quicker assistance in times of need as our business needs are not being met.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blocked/parked domains.
The blocking of unwanted traffic into our domain.
Keeping staff and clients more safe when using our networks.

What do you like best about the product?
This is a great product and stands out as one of the leading web isolation platforms available today. The technical support has exceeded our expectations, always attentive and responsive to our needs.
User training requirements are minimal, as the web isolation process typically operates in the background without users even noticing.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue we've encountered is that the Menlo Security proxy can sometimes slow down internet browsing sessions. I think this is an expected consequence of the product and, in my view, a reasonable tradeoff, though it can cause some frustration for end users.
This isn't exactly a complaint, but it's worth noting that for websites relying on source IP address restrictions, you'll need to take an extra step during implementation with Menlo to ensure whitelisting is handled properly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Browser isolation is one of the most effective ways to mitigate attacks on your web sessions. It protects both users and networks by running browsing sessions in a secure, remote environment, which blocks malware, ransomware, and phishing attempts by ensuring that malicious code never reaches local devices. This approach allows for safer access to potentially risky sites, helps prevent credential theft, and provides control over downloads. A feature I particularly appreciate is the ability to rewrite risky files on the fly and deliver a safe copy to the user. For example, a DOCX file can be instantly rewritten to remove any potentially malicious code, ensuring that the user receives a secure version.
