GitHub Copilot vs. Zscaler Private Access

GitHub Copilot is beneficial when writing .NET code and needing on-the-spot assistance with development tasks such as code suggestions, bug fixing, and code optimization. It is also helpful when you are new to a technology and want to learn and use it faster. However, it might not be appropriate where you are dependent on GitHub Copilot. You can use it for assistance, but not as a replacement for your understanding and logic.

It has historically worked much better. However, as all of this is relatively new technology it is hard to really judge something since most of the time you are kind of using a beta version of a product. I believe things will get better over time. That said, Microsoft copilot recently removed the options to have answers read out loud and that is a huge detractor.

Well ZPA is a good solution, however everyone has their own advantage and disadvantages, with ZPA you can deploy ZTNA model, which will help you better control on access, however Palo Alto, Fortinet they are also market leading firewall solution, and you can not deny if they are not providing the same features.
