We purchased Zscaler Client Connector through Azure Marketplace, but not through AWS Marketplace. We do use the real-time analytics feature with this product, but that's not among our main concerns, as we weren't as worried about what people were doing remotely compared to other companies. The impact of Zscaler Client Connector's policy-based access controls on our security strategy is great, except for the extension of our security onto people's private devices, which they sometimes dislike, because we allow them to use Zscaler Client Connector, but we enforce our security. If they're connecting to our network, they can't see certain things. Zscaler Client Connector enables us to give users access on a service basis rather than an IP basis. This represents a different level of security. In the past, once you connected to our network, your access was managed through secondary security. Now, users don't even get connected to those other services if they're not in the security profile. The content filtering feature helps maintain compliance by ensuring no one can use our internet or devices to create incidents for the company, so we block certain sites we don't want them accessing with DLP, and users don't get access to offensive sites or can't post on certain sites. This protects the company from liability and provides a level of security we didn't have previously, where we can monitor where our data is going. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Zscaler Client Connector a nine out of ten.

My overall rating for Zscaler Client Connector is eight out of ten. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a dashboard to view data transfer rates and connectivity status.
