Zscaler backhauls developer traffic and adds latency that engineering teams feel all day. dope.security is the agent-based, Fly Direct alternative for midsize SaaS companies.

Cisco Umbrella relies on DNS filtering that cannot see privileged client data in HTTPS, uploads, or AI prompts. dope.security is the modern replacement for law firms.

iboss runs web security through its cloud containers, which means backhaul and overhead. dope.security inspects HTTPS on the device and flies direct, giving distributed teams full SWG, DLP, and AI control from one lightweight agent.

DNSFilter is a fast DNS resolver, but it only sees domains. dope.security is the on-device SWG alternative that inspects HTTPS, controls file uploads, and governs AI at the tenant level.

Cisco Umbrella's roaming client extends DNS filtering off-network, but it still only resolves domains and still backhauls deep inspection. An endpoint SWG inspects HTTPS on the device. Here's the difference for remote and hybrid teams.

Cisco Umbrella's DNS layer can block an AI domain but cannot tell a personal ChatGPT login from your enterprise tenant. An endpoint SWG governs ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot at the tenant level. Here's the architecture difference.
