Zscaler handles our web filtering, web usage tracking, bandwidth control, etc.... everything that allows us to control and visualize what's going on in and out of our network, primarily for Cyber Security. Reports are available to track usage and help determine possible reasons for gaps in productivity. Bandwidth controls allow users to still utilize other sites, such as Youtube, but ensure that the usage doesn't bog down the rest of the company.
  • DAS program helps ensure that you get set up properly the first time around.
  • Reports are easily customizable from minute details that you may want as IT to high-level overviews for executive presentations.
  • Lots of capability.
Cons
  • No email support -- you must open tickets through their website.
  • Some support technicians need more experience.
If you're looking to ramp up your Cyber Security operations, Zscaler is a must-see. Their demos are great and the implementation is fairly painless. DAS helps you to get it set up and ensure success.

Zscaler is used by our organization to secure our devices from internet content. This is being used by each and every department of our organization. It takes away the need of installing multiple applications to secure the workstations while interacting with the internet and simply replaces it with a Zscaler application that provides the capabilities of different applications via the cloud.
  • Since it's cloud-based, it's completely on-demand and scalable without any additional hardware required.
  • Deployment is fairly straightforward.
  • Customer support is prompt and tickets are resolved in a quick turnaround time.
Cons
  • Chat or email support is not available. Only option is to either call them or raise a ticket by logging into their website.
  • Pricing is not transparent and quote based.
  • Access to websites is a little too slow with Zscaler monitoring on.
Zscaler is suited for organizations where a lot of employees work remotely and need to access a lot of cloud-based applications. It enables an organization to filter out content and applications that don't adhere to policies. It provides a scalable on-demand solution with over 150 data centers to allow users to have low latency in connection.

Zscaler Internet Access is a web inspection and ssl decryption tool. It's flexibility and scalability is amazing as all the procesing is done via the client connector and zcaler cloud. It gives the ability to do DLP controls and CASB implemtations. The number of uses cases for Zscaler Internet Access are pretty high and should suffice the needs for any company in the word that cares about security.
  • Web inspection
  • SSL decryption
  • DLP inline
Cons
  • Client bypass
  • Usage of PAC filed
  • Support website
Web content inspection using a common policy for all users, apply specific Web policies to different groups or even individual users based on the identity, block of personal storage solutions, block of personal email providers, block of shadow IT services (sanction and unsanction apps), block apps based on risks scores provided by Zscaler Internet Access, usage of GRE tunnels for on-prem sites for inspection without the need of a client connector and with all the same capabilities to process the data on the zscaler cloud, data los prevention policies capabilities with specific use cases.

Solid internet proxy.

Zscaler internet access allows our business to control and dictate what website users can access and to what specific categories of websites, such as gambling or file sharing sites, and also allows us to be specific in enabling certain URL strings, too. The data behind it is useful for getting stats on how many people visit a particular site. We also use cloud app control, which gives us visibility on shadow IT or SaaS applications that are being used to share company data.
  • Restrict website.
  • Control access.
  • Visibility
Cons
  • Functionality
  • User interface.
  • Log export.
It does what it’s meant to do well, as it will allow you to restrict access to specific websites, and it’s good at doing that.
