    Zscaler Zero Trust for Branch

    Score8.5 out of 10
    N/AZscaler Zero Trust for Branch is a security and connectivity solution designed to link users and devices at distributed locations—such as branch offices, factories, and retail sites—to specific applications. The platform is intended to replace traditional SD-WAN and site-to-site VPN architectures with a model that connects users based on identity and policy rather than extending the entire network to every location.N/A

    Zscaler Zero Trust Cloud is especially useful for connecting to remote devices worldwide. Zscaler policies block unwanted use of device access. Policies suit individual, group, and organizational settings. One thing Zscaler must improve is AI access and AI sessions. Policies for sessions would be much appreciated.

    Very well suited for IT/OT segmentation, device identification and access control. M&A - shortened the time for PC deployment from over 300 days to about 30. It is an integral piece to a zero trust strategy.

    Usability

    Overall, I like Zscaler Zero Trust Cloud as it provides a very good user experience both on the Ui and functional level, it is not complicated for beginners as well. After switching from Citrix to Zscaler, the login process has been simplified and less time-consuming.

    Performance
    Zscaler
    Even if I sometimes hate the reverifying and asking for MFA by Zscaler, but it actually ensures the security of the workspace and that is appreciable. other than that, the secure fast access is commendable. It increases the productivity and decreases the risk especially when used for the cloud access or remote access devices.

    The most important reason was time consumption, actually more important reason was I think it was discontinued, but after using Zscaler, accessing got really seamless, earlier it was quite hectic, I remember wiating 5-10mins to be able to access to remote resources
