Extremely stable and very scalable
The solution was far too expensive, which is why we ended up moving to a new vendor. The solution had slow connections and very bad routers. We continuously had issues with the VPN and proxy configuration. AT&T could simplify its user interface and log on. Typically, where you log on is independent of the solution, as long as you have had authorization. With this solution, you needed to configure a single entry point which wasn't ideal. The solution should have been able to integrate more easily with Microsoft.

Secure access has improved remote work and has reduced vulnerabilities across our workforce
Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform probably needs to be more efficient because scanning takes a lot of time. Some vulnerabilities create issues, and when we wanted to identify the source of the vulnerabilities, specifically focusing on mobile ID and related areas, it was unable to provide assistance. However, according to discussions with Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform, they said that by the end of mid-2026, they are exploring these features, and probably those features can be incorporated or embedded into this particular system. That is the only major negative point.In terms of responses, Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform is good. In terms of controlling vulnerability, it is good. The only cons I have noticed is that it is a bit slower, and sometimes it is unable to identify the source. These are the key areas for improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The stability of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The ZPA is a unique feature which offers VPN along with all the additional security needed."
"The most valuable aspect of Zscaler Cloud DLP is its automatic DLP feature."
"Zscaler SASE is probably the number one cloud-based proxy security solution."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"With SASE, we have a single platform that covers multiple task services with which we need to control access. All the features are equally valuable."
"Zscaler's technical support is quite good."
"The best feature is the ability to establish the connection between your public network and automatically connect to the intranet connection."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the CASB solutions, which is protecting their Office 365."
 

Cons

"The solution had slow connections and very bad routers. We continuously had issues with the VPN and proxy configuration."
"SCMP support would be one of the biggest improvements in my opinion. More speed improvements are also required."
"On the improvement side, when we bypass certain internet traffic types, it's currently recommended to have a one-click option, but audio and video aren't always supported. Thus, we need to bypass that kind of traffic. So, it is an area of improvement."
"The stability could be improved."
"The interface needs a bit of work."
"Zscaler Private Access also needs improvement in terms of its interface and security."
"The pre-defined dictionaries could be improved."
"Zscaler Private Access could improve by improving external access. If external parties want to access locally to my company's services, we need to onboard them into our domain, otherwise, it doesn't work. Additionally, if their company also has Zscaler Private Access, then it doesn't work. They need to log in with our domain ID, not their company ID."
"The pricing is expensive and on the higher end. Honestly, in my opinion, it is not worth the price."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is expensive and on the higher end. Honestly, in my opinion, it is not worth the price."
"There is definitely an ROI."
"It's expensive currently. But when purchasing for a large number of users, there's room to negotiate. It's really up to the procurement team."
"It has been relatively reasonable for what it does. Some of the additional license costs based on the advanced next-generation firewall functions are quite high, and they should have certain features ready and available as a baseline rather than having to purchase additional licenses for it. Overall, the cost seems reasonable."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP is moderately priced. We pay around 2 million rupees per year."
"Zscaler SASE software is quite expensive compared to other solutions"
"The cost is expensive. It depends on the number of users."
"Pricing for Zscaler Private Access is moderate. It's acceptable, though I can't give you the exact price currently. It's not too expensive, and on a scale of one to five, I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
