Zscaler Cloud Firewall Valuable Features
Since it is really customizable, I can use it and avoid enabling access to the full network. I just need to allow the user to access a given resource, and that's it. This one is very good. It is really customized, a security policy that can be applied to the users so they can access only the resources I enable them. No more access to the full network.

The biggest advantage of Zscaler Cloud Firewall is its consolidation of products. Using both the proxy and the firewall from the same vendor offers a consolidated product. It provides options for port blocking, which is beneficial, although it lacks some granular control compared to normal firewalls.

I like the advanced tech protection Cloud Sandbox, it's a nice feature. Then there's the DLP, Data Leak Prevention, and the Cloud Application Control which are also good features.
The solution has great features like configuration. It would be difficult to improve or simplify what Zscaler does. Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want.
