Zscaler brought a new concept to the world or to the networks, basically introducing the zero-trust technologies of the product to bring in the buzzword about it and then make it a norm or create it as a norm. 

So, this is a product that can give you zero trust when it comes to the VPN solution compared to the legacy VPN. So, it has become a mandate to manage.

The most valuable features are the File Type Control and SSL bypass policies. We have multiple options, such as very flexible policies and modules in Zscaler. We will define them based on our requirements and the active Internet. We also have geolocation users. For example, a user from Singapore moves to Dubai. When the user tries to access the Internet, Zscaler automatically detects the geolocation and drives our traffic to the other channel. There is no issue here. 

When using a Blue Coat, we have some problems. Sometimes, some of our users have some issues, but once we update the agent, the traffic goes to the current geolocation without any problems, and they can access it. Sometimes, we have some URL categories blocked in our environment, but HPE sometimes removes the block. We request that the vendor to remove the block from the correct URL category. They provide a suitable solution based on the findings.

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.

Global Knowledge Based Engineering Manager at Tenneco Inc.

The only advantage I see is no more connection is required by the users. It is attached to the single-side logon with our key directory. That is the most valuable feature. 

With AT&T, we had another way to connect with the user. We had no single-side logon solution. Zscaler Private Access is a single-side logon solution.

We don't need to connect anymore. It is automatically connected when you log on in Windows. That is the only advantage I see because it is a bit slower.

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.

Technical Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

The VPN is great for the stability on offer and for the cloud updates and insights you can get. We can protect the application well. There's no need to broadcast my network. Only the application will be visible, those kinds of things are very salient features.

The pricing is good as far as I know, although I don't have an idea of the exact pricing.

It offers great user-friendliness.

We like the customization capabilities.

It's straightforward to set up.

The scalability is good.

The ZPA is a unique feature which offers VPN along with all the additional security we need while using the VPN network. This is a cloud solution and it has all the features inbuilt for all security requirements. The other big advantage is that it doesn't require you to sign in every time like typical VPN connections. Usually, whenever you want to connect to VPN, you need to open the VPN, sign in and authenticate with your multi-factor authentication. With this solution, you open your laptop and you are connected to your VPN. Authentication is required about once a week and that's it.
