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 technical support team provides good services and faster response times."
"I like its ease of use. It has a single pane of glass for the ZIA and ZPA pieces. It is very manageable. It is also very easy to deploy for secure access, and it gives half-decent coverage for visibility in terms of what the users use and what data is being proxied through the access gateway."
"The scalability of the solution is great."
"From a cost perspective, I would say fair market value, and then from an efficiency perspective, I notice a very good user experience, which is easy to use with Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform."
"The product’s most valuable features are inbound and outbound scanning and API control."
"Yes, it is very stable. I have never seen it go down, not once."
"The in-line DLP feature is one of the most vital features"
"I like the web filtering capabilities."
"The UI is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The product's interface needs improvement."
"Sometimes applications crash on some machines, and we’d like Zscaler to give us some information as to why that may have happened. We’d like more detailed reports."
"The pricing for Private Access seems to be on the expensive side, and I believe they should consider making it more competitive with other solutions."
"The pre-defined dictionaries could be improved."
"Price-wise, it is a costly product and it should be reduced."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Setup is a bit complex because there are many steps that need to be taken before onboarding and activating the solution."
"I rate it a seven because I am still working through some kinks from a performance and a support perspective."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP needs to improve its compatibility with other security tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has average pricing."
"In terms of market positioning, I would describe Zscaler Private Access as offering optimal pricing. Based on our experience, Cato Networks tends to be slightly more expensive."
"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."
"Zscaler SASE software is quite expensive compared to other solutions"
"The technical support is good."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP is moderately priced. We pay around 2 million rupees per year."
"In the long run, cloud services are not inherently costly."
"The pricing is quite high, especially when it comes to the gateway."
"Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
