GoodAccess
Getting remote users to the internal network without compromising the internal network to many different IP whitelistings. This was our case. We were able to get that going very easily and our internal team workload decreased dramatically managing internal network access. All we have to do is provide VPN to the users, approve their devices and we are good to go

Zscaler
It's best suited for a distributed remote workforce, securing internet access for users from anywhere. Suitable for highly regulated industries, such as banking and Healthcare. Not a good fit for an organisation where most of its legacy is in an on-premises environment. Bandwidth-intensive industries like media/entertainment firms.

Pros
GoodAccess
  • Ease of use/onboarding, it's very easy for an IT admin to deploy to users
  • Simplicity, their management interface is dead simple to use and still powerful
  • Static VPN locations! We were looking for a pretty specific place, and they offered many of our second choices as well.

  • Single Pane of Glass Management - Everything is very easy to access and monitor the entire environment from an internet security perspective.
  • Install Flexibility - We can and do install Zscaler Internet Access on both our client devices as well as our SD-WAN appliances and servers. This allows us to control internet security even on devices without an agent in our networks.

Cons
GoodAccess
  • I believe the pricing model could use some better math for scalability, but it's still highly competitive and simple to upgrade with. For a mid-startup it will be harder to choose a company I believe, but for a 2-10 person organisation, there won't be any better.

  • The logs feel kind of lack luster
  • When issues are arising with SSL Inspection, logs show everything working despite end user experience
  • Could use some kind of global find functionality or something that would allow you to search the entire configuration for matching URLs and the like

I was tired to find good VPN service and want to help everyone to find real good quality and team. Want to advice Goodaccess to everyone, just try it, you'll see yourself. price is good, quality is the best and what is important, when you are buying package, you know what you will get.

Zscaler
While Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) delivers critical value in cloud security and RBI compliance, I rate renewal likelihood 7/10 due to evolving needs versus platform limitations. Below is my rationale:
Key Gaps:
1. Advanced Threat Costs:
ZIA’s add-ons (e.g., Advanced DLP, Sandboxing) incur 35%+ cost premiums – straining budgets as transaction volumes (UPI/iMobile) grow 50% YoY.
2. API Banking Scalability:
ZIA’s API rate limits throttle real-time policy sync during UPI peaks (10K+ TPS), forcing workarounds for finacle integrations.
3. RBI Future-Proofing:
Limited native support for upcoming digital rupee (CBDC) security rules requires custom development, increasing compliance overhead.

Usability
GoodAccess
It was easy to setup, is easy to use and a great product for the price. It is not the fanciest or the most complicated VPN on the market, but it does exactly what our company needed it for and it does it very well. We would recommend this VPN to other companies in our situation as well

The application is easy to install and configure on all Windows devices. To troubleshoot any internet issue, we can easily collect all the relevant logs from Zscaler and check the exact issue. The only problem is with the uninstall, as a dedicated crew needs to provide the password.

Support Rating
GoodAccess
We have hardly had any incidents because the service works very good, but when we have had doubts about the implementation of the gateway to connect ours clouds, the GoodAccess service has been fast and efficient. We have been able to implement and deliver our infrastructure faster with their help.

Zscaler's ZIA support is quick and knowledgable. They respond within 1-2 hours of you submitting your ticket. They are very thorough and are typically ready to jump on a live troubleshooting session. Our ZIA platform and how we use is it unique so at times tickets can be open for weeks but we alway get quality support compared to other unrelated product support in our enterprise

Alternatives Considered
GoodAccess
GoodAccess specifically addresses our need for a static IP gateway. Other products come with too many features irrelevant to us. We have very specific needs that must be enabled in a very short time frame and GoodAccess was good for us like that, basically, turn key. GoodAccess connection also shows good connectivity speed and that was good enough for us.

Zscaler
Zscaler Intenet Access outperformed the competition due to its lightning-fast policy delivery and cross-compatibility. It is easy to track employee usage and block unnecessary websites, reducing company internet usage. Zscalar installed on every system increases cloud-based software bandwidth, decreasing user turnaround time and increasing efficiency.
