Zscaler Internet Access™ (ZIA) is a secure web gateway (SWG), delivering cloud native cyberthreat protection and zero trust access to the internet and SaaS apps.
If you have a hybrid cloud architecture and are looking for a flexible and complete security solution, Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security is what you need. Despite some minor difficulties, the solution's effectiveness in threat detection, scalability, and interoperability with multiple cloud platforms positions it as a significant asset for safeguarding dynamic and hybrid cloud settings.
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.
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.
Ease of use: We find the solution's interface and management console complex and difficult to navigate.
Limited scalability: We find that the solution has limited scalability options, making it difficult to accommodate the needs of larger organizations.
Limited reporting and analytics capabilities: We find that the solution's reporting and analytics capabilities are limited, making it difficult to gain visibility into the security status of their environment.
High cost, It's an expensive investment for small organization like us.
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:
Protection against advanced threats, as the solution includes advanced threat prevention technologies, such as sandboxing and detection of abnormal behavior in daily accesses. Centralized management, allows you to manage the security of several devices from a single management console.
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.
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
Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security is better on scanning and removing malware. It got automated removal and got a feature called advanced disinfection. If we can’t remove trying to restart the device the remove it also we can control everything on devices like apps, devices and even the websites the administrator can determine which group or device can access.
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.
It has negatively impacted our ROI as we have to spend too many man-hours managing the product and reinstalling it.
We have had to remove the software 6 months early due to continuing issues and concerns over the protection offered. This has caused us to lose out on licensing costs already paid for.
Has allowed us to remove other products that were suboptimal
Saved us money overall by stacking it with other Zscaler products
Created a more secure work environment for our users through intelligent internet policies that are not needlessly restrictive while still maintaining security best practices
