What people are saying about Zscaler

Reviewers value Zscaler Internet Access and Private Access for cloud-delivered security and zero-trust access, and buyers typically plan for pricing, support tiers and admin console onboarding.

What stands out

  • Reviewers say ZIA provides strong web filtering and data loss prevention without on-premises hardware.
  • ZPA is described as granting access to specific applications rather than the whole network, which is seen as safer than a traditional VPN.
  • Scalability, stability and fairly simple initial setup are frequently mentioned.
  • Administration is described as straightforward and logically organized.

Things to consider

  • Pricing is quote-based and tends to suit larger customers, so ask for a scoped estimate.
  • Worth confirming support tiers and response times, especially for complex outages and in your regions.
  • Teams new to the ZIA admin console typically plan for onboarding time, and ZPA identity-provider setup is worth scoping early.
  • Consider testing performance with your planned controls enabled and confirming the integrations you need.
