Provides efficient data security and good technical support services
We use Ivanti Tunnel to provide and publish access to on-premise applications The product's interface needs improvement. I rate the product's stability a ten out of ten. One of our Ivanti Tunnel's customers manages 300 end users, and another customer manages 200 end users. I rate its…

Cloud-based platform simplifies device and data center management
I find it to be good. The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing. We are less dependent on data centers and device management, which reduces our efforts significantly. It improves our device management, data center management, and updating devices. We need fewer engineers for this management, and it reduces time and efforts for data center management, device upgrades, and IT support.

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."
"The Live Logs are a cool feature. We can directly identify issues and divert user traffic."
"The tool's scalability is good."
"The scalability of the solution is great."
"The solution offers a simplified network infrastructure and security functions and it enables secure remote access for the users"
"The customer service and support are very good."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"The product’s most valuable features are data discovery, activity control, and zero trust exchange."
"The most valuable feature of Zscaler Private Access is we do not have to connect to a VPN, it is seamless. It is more convenient for us because we use one agent to cover the internet and VPN access."
 

Cons

"The product's interface needs improvement."
"The DX layer could be better if it had improved visibility."
"In the next release, I would like to see RE2 Regex supported."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of configuration."
"There aren't really any missing features that I have witnessed."
"The menu for the ZIA portal could be organized a little bit differently. The most-used modules should be at the top of the menus, not somewhere near the bottom, some of them are not organized well in my opinion."
"The interface needs a bit of work."
"It has massive room for improvement. The Zscaler product itself is okay, but it doesn't give enough granularity for us as an organization to stipulate rules or processes, especially for data-driven services. For instance, we can stick on SSL inspection, but it's just a click box. It doesn't allow us to go any further into the detail of the SSL inspection. We also can't pull it out without having an additional logging server. It just doesn't give us enough granularity. They should give us more control over the interfaces because it is all backend. They weren't very open to discussing their backend architecture with us in terms of their own data centers. They can maybe a little bit more open about what components are there and how the backend infrastructure works alongside Zscaler. Its licensing can be better. Some of the additional licensing costs are quite high, and they should have certain features ready and available as a baseline rather than having to purchase additional licenses for it. Their support should also be improved. I initially had a consultant from Zscaler for its deployment, but the support that I had throughout the deployment of the project wasn't the best."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has average pricing."
"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 product is a little more expensive than other tools."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"The technical support is good."
"The product is a bit expensive."
