Zscaler Private Access Overview

What is Zscaler Private Access?

Zscaler Private Access™ (ZPA) gives users the fastest, most secure access to private apps and OT devices while enabling zero trust connectivity for workloads. As the world’s most deployed zero trust network access (ZTNA) solution, ZPA offers zero trust connectivity, minimizes security risks, and mitigates lateral threat movement through advanced segmentation and AI-powered, context-aware policies. Benefits: • Boost hybrid workforce productivity Get fast, seamless access to private apps whether you’re at home, in the office, or anywhere • Mitigate the risk of a data breach Minimize the attack surface and lateral movement by making applications invisible to the internet while enforcing least-privileged access • Stop the most advanced adversaries First-of-its-kind private app protection and full inline traffic inspection minimize the risk of compromised users and active attackers • Extend zero trust across apps, workloads, and devices The world’s most complete ZTNA platform brings least-privileged access to private apps, workloads, and OT/IIoT devices • Reduce operational complexity Our cloud native platform eliminates legacy remote access solutions like VPNs that are difficult to scale, manage, and configure Traditional firewalls and VPNs create a massive attack surface that lets attackers see and exploit exposed resources. By putting users on the network and letting them access any application, these legacy approaches give attackers easy access to sensitive data. They make it challenging and time-consuming to safely provide access or share resources with third-party vendors, contractors, and agencies. Beyond that, they drive up costs and complexity, and are too slow to serve today's hybrid workforce. When a user (employee, vendor, partner, or contractor) attempts to access an internal application, Zscaler ZPA provides secure, direct connectivity to reduce the attack surface and prevent lateral movement to protect your data from cyber threats.

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.
