Manjit Chakravarty - PeerSpot reviewer
Solutions Architect at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Good performance monitoring, stable, and scalable
The main challenge for this solution is its lack of availability for training and in-depth troubleshooting steps. I have worked as an operations engineer, implementation engineer, and architect in India. However, the solution is not readily available to every customer. For example, if a company purchases a license and implements the solution, the BAU operation team may be unfamiliar with the product. The solution provides some free training and videos on its website, but it could improve its training and support for customers who purchase a license. Additionally, I have found it difficult to get support for production-related issues. The solution could improve its response time for these issues.

Unified monitoring has improved SaaS troubleshooting and reduces MTTR for remote users
In my opinion, the best features Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX) offers are Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX) Insights and scoreboards for quick health visibility. I can analyze the path to identify what the bottleneck of the application is, and I can also diagnose the endpoint for device-level root cause analysis, which is very helpful. Scoreboards and root cause analysis have helped my team significantly, as a scoreboard represents a 100% healthy application and connection, meaning no issues can be identified. During troubleshooting, I definitely need to visit the Insights and scoreboard to understand the level of connectivity the user is experiencing. Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX) has positively impacted my organization by being beneficial for me as a troubleshooter and administrator, as I can identify all types of network performance-related issues, leading to faster resolutions of user complaints, improved collaboration between network, desktop, and security teams, and more productivity in identifying issues before they affect users. The outcome shows a 40 to 50% reduction in MTTR for SaaS applications and better SLA reporting for critical apps like Zoom and Salesforce, among many more applications which can be integrated with tenant authorization.

Cons

"The dashboard is pretty lackluster compared to its competitors."

"The main challenge for this solution is its lack of availability for training and in-depth troubleshooting steps."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price varies depending on our model type and the number of users or devices."
