Zscaler Private Access Pros and Cons

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.

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.
