Efficient technical support with good synchronization features, but it needs better security
We would like to be to secure access to all of the servers for all of the internal workers and engineers. We would like to have tools that provide us with security for our servers. I would like to see an improved repository to better see the users. We have a new project that requires a lot of security we will not continue with SecureLink. The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough.

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.

Pros

"The most valuable feature is synchronizing the limited access for partners or sub-contractors."
"The customer service and support are very good."
"Yes, it is very stable. I have never seen it go down, not once."
"The UI is easy to use."
"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."
"The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing."
"Zscaler CASB's latency and architecture are excellent."
"The most valuable features are the File Type Control and SSL bypass policies. We"
"Zscaler Private Access is a platform that eliminates the complexity of VPN configuration."
 

Cons

"The security features offered in SecureLink are not enough."
"The solution needs to improve a lot of aspects."
"SCMP support would be one of the biggest improvements in my opinion. More speed improvements are also required."
"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 customers would benefit from more robust documentation and conversations around configurations, as it is slightly complex."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The DX layer could be better if it had improved visibility."
"There is some issue while accessing the portal. It takes too long."
"We'd like to have two-factor authentication that is quite simple."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are not happy with the recent increase in the price."
"The pricing is quite high, especially when it comes to the gateway."
"The solution has increased prices this year."
"The pricing is expensive and on the higher end. Honestly, in my opinion, it is not worth the price."
"Zscaler SASE software is quite expensive compared to other solutions"
"Zscaler CASB is an expensive solution."
"It is an auto-renewal subscription service."
"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."
"My company is a Zscaler Private Access partner, so the customers pay for the license fees."
