Overall Satisfaction with Zscaler Private Access

We use Zscaler Private Access to create a secure connection for our contingent worker who do not use a corporate issued device. Zscaler Private Access isn't a VPN but it replaced our VPN solution at the time and has been fast, secure (zero-trust), and reliable. Now user whether they are in Mexico, India, or the US, can verify their identity through MFA and log into our corporate network and only access the items they need to access.

Pros

  • Zero Trust Methodology
  • Logging/analytics
  • Ease of application onboarding

Cons

  • Dashboard Metrics, if people stay logged in then that counts as them being online.
  • SCIM Access should be something that is explicitly stated
  • Copying application segments but the ports don't transfer over.
  • Positive: We have now charged users internally for the service
  • Negative: Dealing with users who also have the Zscaler Client Connector for their company, can cause confusions
  • Negative: Enabling the Zscaler Internet Access entitlement has been a major headache for us because Zscaler Private Access users can't autheniticate through ZIA on a non corporate device.
Ive been using Zscaler Private Access for almost three years now and I know how to manage it like the back of my hand. Its easy to implement, easy to set up fhr the end user, and often at times easy to troubleshoot. It is not perfect but it gets the job done.

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) has come in handy when we want to protect our network from users we don't have MDM access to. We can also restrict what kind of applications/services they can connect to (allow with access control rules internally). Additionally the support we receive from the engineers has always been great.
