Zscaler

Avantages

Zscaler gives more security for the organization, while giving users more privacy. Analytics are hands down the best we have used. 10k+ users and we have had little to no problems since deploying Zscaler. Having the flexibility to change the duration for authentication while still maintaining a secure environment has made this tool a game changer for our users.

Inconvénients

Users initially had some confusion about the tool disabling when they were on a trusted network. Time and usage has helped to clear the confusion.

Avantages

Private Access and Internet Security -- once configured and working -- works in the background with no user intervention. I can simply turn on my laptop, and be able to automatically VPN into my company.

Inconvénients

Many false positives and access blocked when zscaler was first introduced at our company. It took a while & after about 9 months, most of the issues were resolved.

Avantages

- Provides competent security and access for basic computing
- macOS app works alright, although it does have plenty of hiccups

Inconvénients

- Hard to get it to work right with software development tools. In some cases, no proper solution was ever found.
- Support is incredibly terrible. Unhelpful and wastes a lot of time. I really can't emphasize enough how frustrating the support was. I ended up just finding my own workarounds 90% of the time, after spending hours and hours on the line with support.
- Adds latency, which can make profiling network operations difficult.
- Sometimes you run into websites randomly blocking you or asking for CAPTCHA due to routing through ZScaler gateways.

Avantages

Zscaler usage is so easy, I can open easily.

Inconvénients

Usage is so easy so I cannot say anything bad.

Avantages

This is one of the best solution I have worked with, it provides the seamless experience better than the traditional VPN solutions. Connectivity speed is faster comparatively than the VPN solutions because of closer Zscaler POP availability. With speed you are also sure that you are sitting in Secure environment. As Zscaler also makes it sure no threats are touching the endpoint as well even the Zero day threats are detected and prevented within the Zscaler cloud.

Inconvénients

I had few problems with Zscaler ZPA solution, unable to resolve the DNS for private web. However all this got resolved as our team had worked with Zscaler support team.

Avantages

I love that I don't have to use multiple VPNs to get to various parts of my company and product. Having Zscaler handle that all is really nice. Logging into SIEM is a lot, but good information and great for investigation. Love the agent. Works great for Windows and Mac

Inconvénients

Linux integration is in beta and I'm hoping it gets better. Setting up can be tricky, but professional services make it worth it.

They aren't interested in the way how we are protected from various cyber threats - Zscaler is the perfect solution as it gives us the wanted protection without the need of any user intervention - it works in the background while we perform our daily tasks.

It does away with physical servers needed for those who prefer that.

zscaler Internet Security and Zscaler ZAPP access gives more control over devices in organziation that connects to internet. we can control what ip and what websites that devices go out via internet and we have control over protocols and ports channels that devices communicate on the internet

Inconvénients

More control over zapp access like internal application access

Inconvénients

Since the service keeps running in the background there is a significant consumption of resources that costs slightly in terms of performance

Avantages

This is such an easy product for the end user, I have been using this for about 1 year to access our secure network and it even links right up with Duo Mobile! which makes getting logged in! As the end user you get a notice on the computer that you need to re-authenticate your connection- select authenticate and you get a notice right to your phone, accept or deny- accept and BAM you are in! that fast and that easy.

Inconvénients

The only con that I can think of is how often I have to get logged in, this is likely a security setting that our IT team has access to but as a end user it is a little troublesome if you are mid-day and then have to go through the process of re-authenticating- its fast but the smallest thing can throw off a whole day

Avantages

Efficient, good storage and security; it keeps our organization's internal apps secure and in compliance with the policies, even when you're off corporate network

Inconvénients

It sometimes blocks innocent sites or locks me out and requires me to re-enter my information multiple times; I've heard it can be expensive if used by multiple users in the same area

Avantages

I am a regular user of Zscaler and I consider the software as an ally of the IT team for security in browsing the internet and connecting to other networks. For the user, the software is simple, without many options for adjustments.

zscaler can be a bit of a problem with product support. Even if there are late turns, the problem is solved. It does not cause a long interruption.

Avantages

Every organization needs proxy to monitor the user web activity and to protect user from malicious web pages. Zscaler is best in protecting users from malicious websites and monitoring user traffic.
We use Zscaler daily bases for monitoring user activity and blocking phishing pages.

Inconvénients

There are few phishing pages which zscaler allows and the limitation of blocking Url's is limited which is not good

Avantages

The security and Cyber security aspect of this tool was the main reason it was implemented company wide which has been great since the integration. This was done very quickly and required little to no downtime for the laptops and workstations across the entire organization and the installation of the tools did not ruin any machines.

Inconvénients

The tool sometimes does not agree with some other API based tools that we currently have installed such as a IP VOIP tool. We are receiving support for this which is great though.
