Cloud-based platform simplifies device and data center management
I find it to be good. The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing. We are less dependent on data centers and device management, which reduces our efforts significantly. It improves our device management, data center management, and updating devices. We need fewer engineers for this management, and it reduces time and efforts for data center management, device upgrades, and IT support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The technical support team provides good services and faster response times."
"The product provides a seamless user experience."
"The most valuable feature of Zscaler Private Access is we do not have to connect to a VPN, it is seamless. It is more convenient for us because we use one agent to cover the internet and VPN access."
"It has some good data security and WIP features, providing secure Internet access."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The UI is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the CASB solutions, which is protecting their Office 365."
"Overall, the solution does a pretty good job at web filtering."
"The most valuable feature of Zscaler Private Access is the categorization of the dynamic URLs which keeps the customer's environment protected. The threats and the malware are correctly categorized."
 

Cons

"The product's interface needs improvement."
"There is some issue while accessing the portal. It takes too long."
"Zscaler Private Access needs to improve its collaboration with applications without compromising security."
"The pre-defined dictionaries could be improved."
"We have issues with the tool's maintenance and networking. It should be able to work in offline mode as well."
"The only issue with Zscaler Cloud DLP is that it only gives you DLP protection from web traffic, which is flowing out, while a full-blown DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec gives you DLP coverage for multiple channels. Zscaler Cloud DLP doesn't give you coverage for email, fax, and USB channels, and this is the only challenge or room for improvement in the solution. It's just an extension on top of what you're buying on the proxy, so it's just an added layer, and it doesn't cover DLP on a very broad level. I'm unsure if Zcaler is in the business of competing with a full-blown DLP solution, and if there's a plan to expand the features of Zscaler Cloud DLP beyond the web channel because you'll have to deploy a full-blown agent for it. I'm unsure if this is on the cards because the solution is just an added layer that you get with your proxy. I've asked the Zcaler team whether there's a plan to go full DLP in the future, but I didn't get a positive response. There isn't any feature I'd like added to Zscaler Cloud DLP currently, because anything you could think of that should be in cloud or SaaS solutions is already there, except for machine learning, as it's the only functionality that seems to be lacking in the solution. Machine learning is an additional policy available in other DLP solutions in the market, but my team didn't find it in Zscaler Cloud DLP."
"There are some performance issues with the solution once the module addition begins"
"The pricing for Private Access seems to be on the expensive side, and I believe they should consider making it more competitive with other solutions."
"Zscaler CASB breaks down at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has average pricing."
"The cost is expensive. It depends on the number of users."
"Zscaler Private Access is extremely expensive."
"The solution has increased prices this year."
"The pricing is expensive and on the higher end. Honestly, in my opinion, it is not worth the price."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product is a bit expensive."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"My company is a Zscaler Private Access partner, so the customers pay for the license fees."
