Zscaler keeps us moving
We went from a VPN application that required users to reauthenticate every 10 hours on a mobile device and every 4 hours on a laptop for security reason, to Zscaler that we can allow users to reauthenticate every 30 days on mobile devices and every 3 days on laptops. The user experience has been improved tremendously. Additionally, the connectivity is more stable using Zscaler versus our previous application.
PROSZscaler 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.
CONSUsers initially had some confusion about the tool disabling when they were on a trusted network. Time and usage has helped to clear the confusion.

Zscaler is great solution when it comes to detect/prevent the thread within the cloud.
Overall Zscaler has brought the new generation in network security, and Zscaler made the other Security vendors to think in the different directions compare with thinking in traditional way. Zscaler kind of removed the network latency problems with traditional VPN solutions here Zscaler POP presence really helped.
PROSThis 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.
CONSI 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.
Reason for choosing Zscaler
Zscaler overall has great features and better market review.
Reasons for switching to Zscaler
With Global Protect needed to manage the overall Security infrastructure, like managing the firewalls, managing the lifecycle of the product is really a heavy job. With Zscaler you are not managing the Hardware Lifecycle this makes the life bit easier.

I left a job I loved because of ZScaler
Let me start by describing what ZScaler is at its heart: a cloud-based network proxy that uses its own root certificate to inspect TLS/SSL traffic. If you are a company in the business of making software, keep this product away from your software developers. Far, far away. It does not play nice with many software development tools, even once you go through the pain of adding their root certificate in all the right places. I have spent hours and even days interacting with ZScaler support, often with no solution ever found. After spending months fighting frequent issues that came up, I finally threw my hands in the air and left my company. It probably works fine if you're just doing "regular" stuff with your network, like browsing, file uploads/downlads, etc. If you're doing anything more advanced, keep away from ZScaler.
PROS- Provides competent security and access for basic computing - macOS app works alright, although it does have plenty of hiccups
CONS- 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.
Reasons for switching to Zscaler
Company mandated. Cisco AnyConnect worked way better for me.

Great for distributed teams, remote work, and VPN
We added this during the pandemic. We are in the process of doing the full company rollout, but we have a lot of users and this really helps us get visibility and security around our networked resources.
PROSI 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
CONSLinux integration is in beta and I'm hoping it gets better. Setting up can be tricky, but professional services make it worth it.
Reason for choosing Zscaler
Better vetted, good support and similar companies like ours have implemented it and had great success.

Enhanced protection in the cloud world thanks to Zscaler
The majority of business users are only interested in not getting any viruses on the PCs or mobile devices. 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. I was really amazed by the pace of how ZScaler detects potential vulnerabilities and possible cyber attacks.
CONSZScaler can be costly when thinking about using it in big enterprises.

ZScaler - The best application for Internet security
Zscaler helps me browse the internet safely, without having me worry whether a particular website may be malicious or not. It has helped me prevent data loss and data theft due to the blacklisting of potentially dangerous websites and also provided me warnings in case of suspicious websites.
PROSThe best thing about Zscaler is that it performs it works efficiently in the backend without providing me with too many notifications. I get immediate reminders if I end up browsing an unsafe website and it also blocks access to websites blacklisted by ZS, thus preventing data theft.
CONSThere is nothing I dislike about the software. The only recommendation would be to enhance the UI to make it look more professional, maybe like that of Avira or Kaspersky

Security at it's finest
it was nice that it was able to connect me to the internet I use at work even if I was away from work. I still had access to all the information without having to sacrifice my own personal laptop
PROSEfficient, 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
CONSIt 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

Security for a single user
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.
CONSAt times, after the computer is suspended, Zscaler crashes and does not allow any kind of interaction, although it continues to work in the background.

Secure Service Edge from Zscaler
The Console of the solution is very straightforward. It supports a lot of use cases. Zscaler offers protection to users' internet traffic, protects private application access, and secures cloud transactions.It can Integrate with a lot of products as per the need like we can Integrate it with siem solution for exporting logs, or can integrate with IDPs to authenticate users. Advanced threat protection modules are quite good, and provide granular controls over SASE applications. The policy applies in real time which is a very good thing.
CONSNo, I didn't find as of now to dislike about anything as of now.

Great for the end user!
Overall, this is a great product! I would highly recommend this product from a End User stand point, super easy and very fast. I do not have anything to list for recommendations, I give this a 10/10 for ease of use and 10/10 for product satisfaction!
PROSThis 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.
CONSThe 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

A Great Way For You To Take Control Over Your Network
I like this, it is a great way of be completely compliant and you know that you only use company's pc for work. This is as it should be, i mean this tool grants that for example no piracy content is accessed with company's computers.
PROSIt works when in office and out of office, i mean, there is no need to disable or enable settings. It does the job pretty well filtering the traffic and it is great when it comes to security matters.
CONSFor now i can't point anything bad about it, i mean, it does the job well. Everything on company's laptops and computers is being filtered and monitored so it is just perfect. Well, we still need to use VPN in order to reach company files and stuff when we are out of company but i think that's nothing to do with Zscaler.
