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, is very manageable, is very easy to deploy for secure access, and gives half-decent coverage for visibility in terms of what the users use and what data is being proxied through the access gateway."
"The solution is the best for storage."
"The most valuable features of Zscaler Private Access are its ability to integrate with multiple IDPs and application segmentation."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to establish connectivity for remote users and remote endpoints. It offers a high level of granularity compared to typical VPNs, which also encapsulate a lot of I/O."
"The scalability of the solution is great."
"Zscaler Private Access is a platform that eliminates the complexity of VPN configuration."
"The best feature is the ability to establish the connection between your public network and automatically connect to the intranet connection."
"You can close your data protection gaps with Zscaler. You can quickly find all the classified, sensitive data across the cloud."
 

Cons

"The product's interface needs improvement."
"The interface needs a bit of work."
"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."
"User management can be improved."
"Zscaler Cloud DLP needs to improve its compatibility with other security tools."
"It has a limitation, if you are creating a rule or something for a web application or something, you could only add five users, not more than that. Five or four users are only included in a rule. If you want to create a rule for more than five or four users, you have to go through other methods, not particularly with the application. Working within the application with this method would be quite easy as compared to listing a URL or a normal IP address."
"Users report application access or latency issues with Zscaler Private Access."
"Conflicts arise if you do not have the same management teams on the product."
"This is a great solution, I'm just searching for an alternative because the costing or the commercials for this type of solution tends to be a little high, although we have been using it for a year already."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has average pricing."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product is a little more expensive than other tools."
"There is definitely an ROI."
"The price is competitive."
"The licensing model for Zscaler Cloud DLP allows you to only buy what you need. You don't need to buy it as a whole, so it's good."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"The technical support is good."
"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."
