When adopting Zscaler, you can streamline your network by gradually phasing out proxy control and reducing the need for extensive firewall infrastructure. This can lead to cost savings in terms of manpower and equipment. While there are competing solutions like Titan Excel that are more cost-effective, they lack the global presence and advanced features that Zscaler provides. It comes equipped with a plethora of features and functionalities that may allow you to reduce costs in other areas, making it a worthwhile investment for many organizations. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

The only advice is to carefully choose the product lines, to be clear and particular on what products are needed and what services Zscaler will specifically provide before signing anything. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Zscaler recently came on the market and is at the improvement stage right now. Maybe, after two or three years Zscaler will be very good, and I'd be able to recommend it to the user. Zscaler Cloud Firewall is good but not very good, so I would rate it at seven on a scale from one to ten.

The use cases need to be fairly solid if you're looking for Zscaler. Zscaler doesn't do intra site segmentation, therefore, if you want a segmentation within a branch office, that kind of traffic flow, that is not well addressed. That said, that's due to the fact that Zscaler isn't targeting itself to address that kind of issue. That's where you require traditional or the NextGen firewalls on devices. With regards to the cloud-first model, of course, there is absolutely no gap with regards to Zscaler. It would largely depend on the use cases, the kind of business that you are deploying the solution for if this solution is right for you. With regards to ease, with regards to scalability, with regards to performance and support, those are the kind of top features that I would always look at and I have had a great experience in general. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

In general, I would recommend this product to new users. But I would say that they should carefully evaluate it with the business needs of a specific customer. However, in general, it's a leader in this area, and it's definitely worth their consideration. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Zscaler Cloud Firewall a seven.

I would recommend people figure out what they need and then check the market. Zscaler is the Rolls Royce for this kind of solution. If you can afford to buy a Rolls Royce then you should take it even though it's one of the more expensive solutions. It's the best one with full integration and everything you would expect. If you're looking for a quick and cheap solution, that would be TitanHQ. It's a reasonable product but there is obviously a big difference between Zscaler and TitanHQ. I would rate this product a nine out of 10.

We're partners with Zscaler. We have this production suite which we have customized with Zscaler and we are selling this solution to a lot of customers in which we provide sandboxing, URL filtering, testing, blacklisting, etc. We're not using the solution ourselves so much as selling it to our customers. Zscaler has a good foothold in the market and any new competitor will have to be cognizant of the fact that they will have to be affordable and provide all of the features Zscaler has while being good at threat analysis and filtering. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. If it had web browser isolation I'd rate it higher.
