I tested the Beta and was impressed with the ability to be up and running within minutes and threat prevention but it still needs to include the following features

1.Geo-IP enforcement

2.Remote Browser Isolation integration for uncategorized sites

3.Updateable objects

4.Create alerts on malicious activity/DLP events.

5. Ability to customize block pages

6. Restrict Access to SaaS business account/Tenant. Example would be to restrict your employees to only your Dropbox account instead all of Dropbox.
