Efficient technical support with good synchronization features, but it needs better security
We would like to be to secure access to all of the servers for all of the internal workers and engineers. We would like to have tools that provide us with security for our servers. I would like to see an improved repository to better see the users. We have a new project that requires a lot of security we will not continue with SecureLink. The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough.
Sumit Bhanwala - PeerSpot reviewer
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 most valuable feature is synchronizing the limited access for partners or sub-contractors."
"Users get direct secure access to applications over the internet."
"The Live Logs are a cool feature. We can directly identify issues and divert user traffic."
"SASE's most valuable features are proxy and content filtering."
"The agent's versatility is notable, used for digital experience monitoring to collect valuable endpoint metrics for troubleshooting."
"The VPN is great for the stability on offer and for the cloud updates and insights you can get."
"The tool's scalability is good."
"The customer service and support are very good."
"Yes, it is very stable. I have never seen it go down, not once."
 

Cons

"The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough."
"There is improvement in enhancing proper manageability, policies, and logs. So, log management could be improved."
"The granularity in blocking is not sufficient, as new domains are automatically blocked for 30 days without further information."
"We often face performance and latency issues with Zscaler SASE."
"Users report application access or latency issues with Zscaler Private Access."
"The menu for the ZIA portal could be organized a little bit differently. The most-used modules should be at the top of the menus, not somewhere near the bottom, some of them are not organized well in my opinion."
"User management can be improved."
"Occasionally, issues arise in the LogStack by a third party, particularly for government websites accessed by numerous users."
"There aren't really any missing features that I have witnessed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are not happy with the recent increase in the price."
"In the long run, cloud services are not inherently costly."
"Zscaler Private Access is extremely expensive."
"The price is competitive."
"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."
"As per industry leads, Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
"There is definitely an ROI."
"Zscaler Private Access can be an expensive solution, depending on the license type you will purchase."
"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."
