What do you like best about Zscaler Internet Access?

It’s a bundle of security services. ZScaler Internet Access proxies your Internet traffic and runs it through URL content filter lists. ZScaler Private Access puts connection brokers between your clients and servers that hide real IPs from each other and force every server connection to go through a login or SSO process. There are more bells and whistles, but those are the two major biggies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zscaler Internet Access?

Potential for slower internet speeds due to traffic routing through the cloud, a complex configuration process, a user interface that can be difficult to navigate, and occasional connection issues which can impact user experience, especially when dealing with latency-sensitive applications; additionally, some users may find the extensive feature set overwhelming, leading to underutilization of certain functionalities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zscaler Internet Access solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I am working in a compliance based role. It's crucial to be secure while accessing secured data so, I always use Zscaler to secure my internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zscaler Private Access?

Honestly, the best thing about ZPA is that it just works (most of the time). No need for a clunky VPN, and the security is top-notch with the zero-trust setup. Once it’s configured properly, users can access apps directly without dealing with unnecessary network hurdles. Also, the cloud-native approach means you don’t have to mess with extra hardware, which is a huge plus. The browser-based access for unmanaged devices is a lifesaver too. Overall, it’s a great way to secure remote access without too much hassle—when it’s working right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zscaler Private Access?

Setting it up can be kinda painful, especially if you’re new to zero-trust concepts. The policy configurations aren’t super intuitive, and troubleshooting is not always straightforward. There’s limited visibility into the backend, which makes fixing issues a bit annoying. Also, sometimes the connection just drops for no obvious reason, and it can take a while to figure out why. Support is okay but not the fastest, so if something breaks, you might be stuck waiting. And if you’re dealing with older applications, good luck—some just don’t work well without a workaround. It’s solid once it’s up and running, but getting there takes some effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zscaler Private Access solving and how is that benefiting you?

With ZPA, I don’t have to worry about connecting to a full corporate network—it just gives access to the specific apps I need, which makes things way more secure. It also prevents lateral movement, meaning even if a device is compromised, an attacker can’t easily jump around the network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
