Though it helps deal with web traffic or any malicious traffic, it needs to work on its DC performance issues

Pros

"If malicious traffic attacks our on-premises servers, then it gets blocked by Zscaler Cloud Firewall."

Cons

"Apart from the issues associated with the product in areas like the DC performance issues and DC failover, Zscaler Cloud Firewall's IP should not have a proxy IP."

The solution is excellent at categorizing in the right manner and allows flexibility in adapting security policies to changing circumstances

Pros

" Zscaler provides effective protection against various cyber threats ensuring a safe environment"

Cons

"They do not provide a few components that are fundamental to differentiate the products"

Flexible licensing with good performance and support

Pros

"Most of the features that Zscaler has to offer, we will deploy."

Cons

"It would be nice to have some sort of a form factor, a physical form factor perhaps, or virtual machine that you could install on devices or on a cloud, and have some cloud computing. "
JibinGeorge - PeerSpot user
Senior Consultant at OPTIV
Verified user of Zscaler Cloud Firewall

Advanced cloud-native security with comprehensive threat protection, granular control, and scalability

Pros

"The visibility and log availability offered are highly valued for troubleshooting purposes, and this is a key factor driving customer interest in the firewall module."

Cons

"Instead of the standard license, they should certainly provide customers with the visibility to access and view the logs."

Is good for standard cloud-based access but needs to improve geographic IP address mapping

Pros

"The scalability is okay. We have around 2200 people using this solution."

Cons

"We are having some issues with internet access being denied when organizational ID-based policies change. For example, a lower level employee ends up getting the same level of access as that of a higher level employee."
