Most people use Zscaler SASE as a replacement for VPNs. You know, with a VPN, once you establish connectivity to the network, you have unrestricted access. But with Zscaler SASE, you have strict access control. You don't get any access unless you adhere to the policies set in Zscaler. So, you can control who has access to specific applications at a URL level rather than granting access at the physical IP level. That's what most people appreciate about it. IPs provide access to everything on the machine, whereas Zscaler SASE provides access to specific services within the network.

As IT integrators, we are using the solution for application control, URL filtering, sandboxing, and antivirus. We have modules with data leak prevention and cloud browser isolation, device posture checking, related to the access because we are also using it for the ZTNA services, but it's not related to the Secure Web Gateway. We are also using it in ZIA with a firewall as a service.
