Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform Reviews

We use the product for inbound and outbound DNS scanning.

The platform provides data protection.

The product’s most valuable features are inbound and outbound scanning and API control.

There could be additional ways to define proximity. Additionally, they should provide some exclusion options for specific policies and an ability to control the DLP engine.

We have been using Zscaler Cloud DLP for four to five years.

I rate the product’s stability a nine out of ten.

For the DLP feature, I rate the scalability a seven out of ten.

We used Netskope before. However, we switched to Zscaler as we wanted a cloud-based DLP product. If we compare the two products, Netskope is better, but scaler is a good solution for cloud DLP.

The deployment time depends on specific business requirements. It is easy to deploy a standard functionality. However, it takes time for complex scenarios.

The product has reasonable pricing.

I rate Zscaler Cloud DLP a seven out of ten. I advise others to evaluate and understand their business use cases before purchasing the product.

Private Access is more for very high-powered users. It's dedicated access to certain applications. It's for more sensitive users. It's not for general users. 

The dedicated connection is the most valuable aspect of this solution. It makes the connection very secure. 

It is easy to use. 

The setup is very straightforward. 

We'd like to have two-factor authentication that is quite simple.

Users are only those at the management level or directors. The users are only high-level individuals. It's not meant for everyone. 

We previously just used an antivirus like McAfee. We use McAfee endpoint protection with this over the top now. 

This solution is very simple to set up. It's not a complex implementation. 

You just need one person to maintain the solution. It just takes one system administrator. 

The pricing is incremental. It's just a small incremental cost for each user. You do need at least 500 users. Otherwise, it is not cost-efficient. 

We're partners. We resell the solution. 

This is a good product. It's easy to deploy, secure, and good for securing employees. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

It serves various purposes. Overall, it's pretty good. Not bad at all.

It has been helpful in maintaining our infrastructure. The granular level control it offers allows us to set application policies per application for each user.

The most valuable feature is policy creation and creating cloud instances.

Zscaler CASB need to improve the functioning of the application, especially the sanctioning of the application.

Another area of improvement is the granular level control of how you can assign policies based on user access. Currently, their granularity is not that good. They either give you access to CloudApp or not. User management can be improved.

I have been using this solution for a year. I use the latest version.

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

It is a scalable solution. 

Neutral

The initial setup was very straightforward.

We have seen an ROI.

I would advise other users to focus on properly managing the cloud instances and avoid overcomplicating cloud application policies unless it's absolutely necessary.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven 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.

We are using it for monitoring the global areas, which Zscaler considers for people who are roaming around the system to have a secure connection to internal applications.

It has made things easier and more secure while connecting to the client's private applications.

The most valuable feature is the manageability of the micro tunnels.

There is improvement in enhancing proper manageability, policies, and logs. So, log management could be improved.

Moreover, I'd just like to see an improvement in stability.

I have been using this solution for six months. We use the latest version 6.1. 

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. 

Scalability is good. 

The setup is straightforward, but it's a little more technical. Nevertheless, it's pretty straightforward.

We have it deployed on both cloud and on-premises.

We have definitely seen an ROI. 

Overall, I'll rate it at nine out of ten.

Our role is as consultant, architectural, and pre-sales.

Rather than purchasing new VPNs and other architecture, our clients use Zscaler SASE to allow their workers to work from home due to COVID. 

It decreases the overhead that they are running when it comes to licenses for the VPNs and allows them to merge multiple technologies, such as the VPN capabilities, and the CASB solution.

The most valuable features of this solution are the CASB solutions, which is protecting their Office 365.

The interface needs a bit of work. It could be a little more streamlined and more intuitive.

We have been selling this solution for two years.

Our clients are using the latest version.

Absolutely, this is a stable solution. It has been what we expected.

The scalability by definition is kind of intrinsically built-in. Everything that I have seen is easy to scale.

My experience with technical support is that they have always been professional, on point, and very knowledgeable.

The initial setup was straightforward.

I would rate Zscaler SASE a ten out of ten.
