It would take a touch of magic that would set it apart. When it comes to mainstream solutions, reaching a rating of eight is quite commendable. However, there are dedicated solutions specifically designed for managed service providers that truly excel and can be considered the top ten in their field.

I have evaluated other solutions.

Zscaler Private Access is an exceptionally professional company that I strongly endorse. However, if your organization has a large field force or relies heavily on sales or geographically dispersed teams, it may be worth exploring alternative solutions.

While easy-to-deploy and user-friendly solutions may appear promising on paper, the true success of any digital transformation project lies in the choice of a competent managed service provider. It is essential to select a solution that works hand in hand with a capable managed service provider. If the managed service provider is excellent but the solution itself is subpar, it will impede progress. Similarly, even if the solution is exceptional, inadequate management will hinder optimal performance. Therefore, it is crucial to take a holistic approach in selecting the best possible solution and compare them side by side, alongside the expertise and approachability of the managed service provider. By deploying both solutions, such as Cato Network or Zscaler Private Access, and carefully observing their performance with small tasks, you can quickly identify the differences, especially in terms of speed and performance. These factors can vary significantly based on the nature and volume of your data.

Our clients prioritize five key objectives when it comes to their systems: security, compliance, performance, cost optimization, and operational continuity. These criteria are crucial for their operations. However, achieving compliance, especially in specific sectors like oil and gas or telecommunications, goes beyond relying solely on the tool itself. Compliance is achieved through proper operational practices and procedures, which is why clients rely on the expertise of managed service providers. While the tool may have certifications and guarantees related to data residency and longevity, it is ultimately the way an organization operates its infrastructure, solutions, and systems that determine compliance and security. It is important to continuously work on and test these aspects rather than treating them as something that can be simply purchased. Security and compliance require ongoing effort and attention on a daily basis.

I rate Zscaler Private Access an eight out of ten.

Zscaler Private Access is a solution that delivers on its promises and can be relied upon with great dependability. It stands out as an enterprise-grade solution, which is not the case for all options available in the market. While there may be less expensive alternatives, they can often be more fragile in terms of reliability. Zscaler ensures higher availability and offers dependable solutions, making it an ideal choice for businesses that heavily rely on software and cloud services. With Zscaler in place, you can rest assured that your business will be well protected, even in the face of new waves of ransomware attacks, privacy concerns, and malware threats that emerge every couple of months. Their proactive teams actively monitor network traffic and can promptly address any issues detected in one client, sharing the knowledge and best practices to prevent similar issues from impacting other clients. This advantage comes from having a dedicated professional team that seamlessly integrates the work of endpoint protection, active network monitoring, and protection. As a result, Zscaler's zero-trust network access solutions complement and enhance the layered defense system that every company should have in place.
