Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have too many features included in the solution. These include third-party malware detection as a primary feature and a secondary feature focused on dealing with various security threats."
"The solution offers a simplified network infrastructure and security functions and it enables secure remote access for the users"
"SASE's most valuable features are proxy and content filtering."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to establish connectivity for remote users and remote endpoints. It offers a high level of granularity compared to typical VPNs, which also encapsulate a lot of I/O."
"It does the job. What it is needed for. I can use it for VPN, I can use it for secure connections, I can use it as a firewall. So the solution does the job."
"The scalability of the solution is great."
"I find all Zscaler Private Access features valuable because each replaces flawed technologies, such as EPAs being replacements for VPN and PR as a replacement for PAM, so I can't mention only one valuable feature. Overall, Zscaler Private Access is a good solution."
"We don't need to connect anymore. It is automatically connected when you log on in Windows."
"Yes, it is very stable. I have never seen it go down, not once."
 

Cons

"The tool is expensive."
"We faced certain migration and implementation challenges in executing the tasks, so I would suggest improvement related to the stability of the solution."
"Users report application access or latency issues with Zscaler Private Access."
"The pre-defined dictionaries could be improved."
"We'd like to have two-factor authentication that is quite simple."
"They should work on a replica account. There could be alerts and replica files sent to the DLP team during data collection."
"The connectivity monitoring part should be included in the core license without any extra charges."
"More on-prem infrastructure is required when Zscaler Private Access is to be implemented as a single point of entry."
"Occasionally, issues arise in the LogStack by a third party, particularly for government websites accessed by numerous users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is expensive."
"As per industry leads, Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
"It has been relatively reasonable for what it does. Some of the additional license costs based on the advanced next-generation firewall functions are quite high, and they should have certain features ready and available as a baseline rather than having to purchase additional licenses for it. Overall, the cost seems reasonable."
"Zscaler DLP solution is expensive, with a fixed pricing structure that is billed annually and monthly. There are no additional costs for licenses."
"The product is a bit expensive."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP is moderately priced. We pay around 2 million rupees per year."
"The cost is expensive. It depends on the number of users."
"Pricing for Zscaler Private Access is moderate. It's acceptable, though I can't give you the exact price currently. It's not too expensive, and on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
