Zscaler Private Access™ (ZPA) gives users secure access to private apps and OT devices while enabling zero trust connectivity for workloads.
It is not necessary for a call center to use a secure network, but network admins need HPA. The reasoning behind this is that securing private access is so important.
Zscaler Private Access works really well in environments setup for FQDNs and where you know what users should/shouldn't be accessing on what ports. You can use Zscaler Private Access to figure out these kinds of features but that doesn't always mean you'll be correct. It also provides a consistent experience for users as they can access their materials anywhere. It also makes the user the last line of defense. If a user's account is compromised then the attacker has access to everything they already did. It doesn't work great in OT environments or Server based environments. Flows have to be initiated from the client and not the server for stuff to behave properly.
Connecting users remotely with a secure connection. I am a service desk agent who works with end users, and if there is an issue due to ZPA, it's most likely due to configuration. A really good service.
Logging, I believe, works well as I troubleshoot end users and can gather extra details for my network admin. IP.zscaler.com, and the debug logs are nice. Additionally, I like how it shows the App policy assigned to the user's machine ECT.
Needs an interface for Support Desk/Help Desk to more easily understand that the problem is a lack of an FQDN or access is not allowed due to policy, not because of a technical shortcoming in ZPA.
Documentation of the BC solution is not well-detailed.
The environment feels more secure, and we are seeing that users are adapting to it fast. The fact that we have tools to assist the users with their day-to-day access helps, as we can hand it off to the helpdesk without any escalations to the Network team. It is a work in progress for our agency, but we are seeing the benefits from the solution.
Features and ease of implementation. Unlike other options, Hyper Private Access offers comprehensive protection for sensitive data while being user-friendly, which was a crucial factor in our decision-making process. It stands out due to its scalability and flexibility when comparing Hyper Private Access to alternative solutions. Unlike competing products, Hyper Private Access adapts seamlessly to the evolving needs of our business, allowing for effortless expansion and customization as our requirements change over time. Hyper Private Access outperforms its counterparts by providing unparalleled reliability and uptime. While evaluating various options, we found that Hyper Private Access consistently delivers uninterrupted access to critical resources, minimizing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted operations, which was a crucial factor in our selection process.
ZPA is where the bulk of zero-trust access is found. While the functionality for ZIA is excellent, the policy we implement for internet access is more focused on threat prevention and not narrowly scoped access.
Positive impact: With the implementation of Hyper Private Access, the financial performance of our business has significantly improved. Enhancing access to sensitive resources and information has improved our performance, increasing ROI and greater productivity.
Negative impact: Hyper Private Access appears to have had no adverse effect on our overall business objectives. However, the results obtained through ROI measurements indicate that this technology cannot achieve significant results and has created less productivity.
Positive impact: Hyper Private Access has directly contributed to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our business operations. By enhancing the security of sensitive data and improving access to it, we have successfully reduced risks and increased the speed of strategic decision-making, directly leading to improved financial performance and overall ROI of our business.
We used to get anywhere from 30 to 50 tickets surrounding our previous VPN solution every month. We now average 3-5 tickets regarding remote connectivity, and of those, only 1 or 2 are actual issues with ZPA.
Using ZPA Access Policies, we can now block endpoints that have outdated security software from ever connecting to our environment. This was simply not possible with our previous solution.
Some of our employee base skews older and had a harder time understanding the change from VPN to Zscaler.
There is significantly less downtime with ZPA when compared to other VPN solutions.
