Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform Reviews

We use Zscaler Private Access to provide access to on-premise applications.

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.

Zscaler Private Access could improve by improving external access. If external parties want to access locally to my company's services, we need to onboard them into our domain, otherwise, it doesn't work. Additionally, if their company also has Zscaler Private Access, then it doesn't work. They need to log in with our domain ID, not their company ID.

I have been using Zscaler Private Access for approximately one and a half years.

The stability of Zscaler Private Access is good.

I rate the stability of Zscaler Private Access a five out of five.

Zscaler Private Access is scalable.

I rate the scalability of Zscaler Private Access a five out of five.

We have approximately 300 users using this solution.

I have not used the support from Zscaler Private Access.

I use FortiClient VPN in parallel with Zscaler Private Access.

Zscaler Private Access's initial setup was simple. The total time for the implementation took one hour.

We did the implementation of Zscaler Private Access with one person.

I rate Zscaler Private Access an eight out of ten.

We are using Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange for its Zscaler Internet Access service. It provides web security, DLP, data protection, prevention, and lots more features.

It has improved our organization’s working process and efficiency.

It has some good data security and WIP features, providing secure Internet access. We get seamless access with our agents and users. It has some fantastic hardware. They have AI-powered integration with in-built features for the scheduler. It provides security and is connected to manage the security level, which is good.

The solution needs to improve a lot of aspects.

I have been using Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange for more than one year.

I don’t contact the support, but my team usually does.

Previously, I used Citrix.

The initial setup was straightforward. It took almost three months to deploy, but it was smooth.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

Zscaler Private Access is used for private data. You need to deploy Zscaler Private Access to put security and internal network after you build your application. The solution is used when you build an application and want to provide services to the public.

The most valuable features of Zscaler Private Access are reliability, scalability, and availability.

Zscaler Private Access needs to improve its collaboration with applications without compromising security. The solution needs to improve native security, seamless protection, and user experience. Users should be able to access the solution anytime, and it should be made easy to install and easy to understand.

Zscaler Private Access needs to improve its customization.

I have been using Zscaler Private Access for two years.

Zscaler Private Access is a stable solution.

I rate Zscaler Private Access an eight out of ten for stability.

The solution’s scalability is very good.

The solution’s technical support is good.

The solution's initial setup is a little bit difficult and depends on your architecture knowledge.

The solution's deployment time depends on the infrastructure, the number of computers, and the number of employees.

Zscaler Private Access can be an expensive solution, depending on the license type you will purchase.

Zscaler Private Access is deployed on-cloud in our organization. I would recommend Zscaler Private Access to other users.

Overall, I rate Zscaler Private Access a nine out of ten.

There are many use cases, but primarily we have been utilizing it for cloud and web security purposes.

The solution offers a simplified network infrastructure and security functions, and it enables secure remote access for the users. 

Zscaler SASE provides a wide range of security features such as DIA, VPS, and VDS while maintaining a seamless performance.

We faced certain migration and implementation challenges in executing the tasks, so I would suggest improvement related to the stability of the solution. It would be beneficial to ensure a smooth transition with no to minimal interruption of the operation.

I have been working with Zscaler SASE for two years.

The solution's stability relies on highly stable internet connectivity, so the absence or disruption of it directly affects the operations. 
I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

There have been some issues regarding the migration and flexibility of this solution while performing the integration of the data. 
I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

We are fairly satisfied with the customer support that is provided by Zscaler SASE's team. They are equipped with expert technicians and whenever we had to open the ticket with them, the issue was solved professionally. The only difficulty is time management as they might take some time to resolve what you asked for. I rate it eight out of ten. 

Positive

The initial setup of Zscaler SASE's platform was efficient and user-friendly. I rate it eight out of ten. 

The implementation and deployment process took us a total of one and a half months.

Zscaler SASE is quite expensive compared to other solutions. The price is not fixed and it does not include all of the features, so my advice for organizations would be to evaluate their specific needs and budget to determine if this solution aligns with their requirements. I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

I would recommend this solution due to its exceptional user-friendly nature and comprehensive security capabilities. I rate it a seven out of ten. 

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.

I believe Zscaler SASE has given us increased security with endpoint protection. We may not have eliminated 100% of the threats, but we are resistant to threats on the Internet. The solution blocks almost all known vulnerabilities or problems related to phishing actions, so I would say that is the biggest benefit.

With SASE, we have a single platform that covers multiple task services with which we need to control access. All the features are equally valuable.

The menu for the ZIA portal could be organized a little bit differently. The most-used modules should be at the top of the menus, not somewhere near the bottom, some of them are not organized well in my opinion.

I have been working with Zscaler SASE for almost one year.

There were a few global issues this year that something was not working correctly, or that sometimes we experienced different behavior with the filtering policies between the points of presence. For example, if there is a user located in Amsterdam, then it was filtering traffic differently than in Frankfurt because they were connected to two different points of presence. The issue was later resolved by technical support.

The solution is scalable.

The quality of customer support depends on the situation, where sometimes the correct actions are taken immediately. So sometimes, I would rate it a ten out of ten.

But sometimes we have to explain the same situation, even referencing old tickets, while the support agent would not even check what was done in the previous tickets, and it takes much longer to solve the case. In such situations, I would rate customer support a four out of ten.

The setup is quite easy. The primary configuration requires some adjustments to the client's needs, but it's quite easy.

The deployment depends on a questionnaire to determine expectations, what should be checked, verified, and what works with the highest SLA. The actual deployment does not require a lot of staff members.

Maintenance for the solution includes keeping the client's connector updated and checking the device posture.

I have downloaded reports of Cisco Umbrella, Fortinet FortiGate, FortiProxy, and Zscaler.

I would recommend Zscaler SASE, for sure, and would rate it a nine out of ten.

I use Zscaler Cloud DLP for its DLP features. It gives you all the basic features such as keywords, regular expressions, data identifiers, etc., but the only difference is that you can only apply the DLP policies to web traffic.

Zscaler Cloud DLP provides you with basic DLP features that you get out of the box such as keywords, regular expressions, and data identifiers, for example, your social security numbers, and credit card numbers, with everything built into the product, so you can directly use those features within the policies. You don't need to create it from scratch, and to me, this is the biggest benefit of Zscaler Cloud DLP. You have a lot of templates to choose from in the solution, rather than having to create templates from scratch or reinvent templates.

The only issue with Zscaler Cloud DLP is that it only gives you DLP protection from web traffic, which is flowing out, while a full-blown DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec gives you DLP coverage for multiple channels.

Zscaler Cloud DLP doesn't give you coverage for email, fax, and USB channels, and this is the only challenge or room for improvement in the solution. It's just an extension on top of what you're buying on the proxy, so it's just an added layer, and it doesn't cover DLP on a very broad level.

I'm unsure if Zcaler is in the business of competing with a full-blown DLP solution, and if there's a plan to expand the features of Zscaler Cloud DLP beyond the web channel because you'll have to deploy a full-blown agent for it. I'm unsure if this is on the cards because the solution is just an added layer that you get with your proxy. I've asked the Zcaler team whether there's a plan to go full DLP in the future, but I didn't get a positive response.

There isn't any feature I'd like added to Zscaler Cloud DLP currently, because anything you could think of that should be in cloud or SaaS solutions is already there, except for machine learning, as it's the only functionality that seems to be lacking in the solution. Machine learning is an additional policy available in other DLP solutions in the market, but my team didn't find it in Zscaler Cloud DLP.

I've been working with Zscaler Cloud DLP for a year and a half.

Zscaler Cloud DLP is a very stable product. My team had very, very few complaints about it, and I never had a situation where an end user would come to me and complain about performance or latency issues with Zscaler Cloud DLP.

Zscaler Cloud DLP is a scalable product.

We've never contacted the Zscaler Cloud DLP technical support team because it's a very straightforward product, so we didn't need help or raised cases about it.

The initial setup for Zscaler Cloud DLP was very straightforward because the portal walks you through it, and you get initial help for a few hours from Zcaler professionals who help you and walk you through the entire setup process.  The team understands what your needs are and give you the best possible suggestions on how to use Zscaler Cloud DLP, how to administer it, and how to maintain it, so that's all good.

The licensing model for Zscaler Cloud DLP allows you to only buy what you need. You don't need to buy it as a whole, so it's good.

I evaluated Forcepoint and Symantec DLP solutions, and both are equally good.

I'm still working with Zscaler Cloud DLP.

Zscaler Cloud DLP is not difficult to maintain, and maintaining it is the vendor's responsibility, so you don't need to worry about it.

I would recommend Zscaler Cloud DLP to others because it's the best proxy product in the market at the moment.

Zscaler Cloud DLP is a pretty good product. It's just missing one or two features, so I would rate it as eight out of ten.

I use the solution primarily for security purposes. We are blocking other sites which are not SSL in our Indian organization.

We are refusing authorization for users to access unauthorized sites. We are blocking through Zscaler. It’s for web filtering.

Many of us are working from home, and we are still able to do the filtering of websites for our workers, wherever they are.

I like the web filtering capabilities. Those are very good.

It offers sound internet security notifications.

There aren’t too many bugs, and it is easy to debug when necessary.

There are good Outlook features available.

It is stable.

The scalability has been good.

I like the user interface.

I’m not sure if any features are lacking. I’m mostly happy with it. That said, I’m not familiar with every area of the product. I need to study it a bit more.

Sometimes applications crash on some machines, and we’d like Zscaler to give us some information as to why that may have happened. We’d like more detailed reports.

We’ve been using the solution for two or three years.

It’s a stable product right now. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn’t crash or freeze. It’s reliable.

It’s scalable. We can add to it. It’s easy to expand.

We have 3,000 to 5,000 users on the solution currently. It’s basically used by everyone in the organization.

I wasn’t a part of the initial setup. I can’t speak to how it went or if it was easy or hard.

I’m a consultant. However, I’m just an end-user of the solution.

I’d give the solution a ten out of ten. It is working fine for us.

Zscaler Private Access is mainly used for connecting to my company network through a VPN. It's used for remote work.

What I find most valuable in Zscaler Private Access is that it's a VPN. Its connectivity as a VPN is its most valuable feature.

What could be improved in Zscaler Private Access is its notification. For example, if there's a speed issue, there should be a pop-up that alerts the user about it. If there is a network quality issue, for example, it isn't good enough to connect to, or the network quality is bad, there should be a notification from the solution.

Zscaler Private Access also needs improvement in terms of its interface and security.

I've been using Zscaler Private Access for more than two years now.

Zscaler Private Access is a stable product.

In terms of the technical support for Zscaler Private Access, I didn't need any support yet, and I haven't spoken with the support team, so I can't rate them for now. I also have not heard anything about support from my colleagues or the IT team.

I haven't used other VPN solutions apart from Zscaler Private Access.

The initial setup for Zscaler Private Access was easy. It was a hassle-free setup. It took just a few minutes and I didn't even notice when the IT team installed it.

Zscaler Private Access was implemented in-house. It was done by our IT team.

Pricing for Zscaler Private Access is moderate. It's acceptable, though I can't give you the exact price currently. It's not too expensive, and on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing.

I'm using Zscaler Private Access daily for eight to twelve hours.

More than five thousand people use the solution in my company.

I would rate Zscaler Private Access eight out of ten. Other products are more efficient and better than Zscaler Private Access, particularly in terms of interface and security, so I'm unable to give the solution a perfect score.

I don't know if my company is a partner of Zscaler Private Access, but I'm sure that it is a customer.
