Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) applies the principles of least privilege to give users secure connectivity to private applications while eliminating unauthorized access and lateral movement. ZPA can be deployed in hours to replace legacy VPN and remote access tools with a holistic zero trust platform.
Zscaler Private Access enables businesses to achieve:
Peerless Security, beyond legacy VPNs and firewalls
Connect users directly to apps - not the network - minimizing the attack surface and eliminating lateral movement
Unrivaled Security against compromised app or users
First-of-its-kind app protection, with inline prevention, deception, and threat isolation, minimizes the risk of compromised users
Superior productivity for today's hybrid workforce
Lighting-fast access to private apps extends seamlessly across remote users, HQ, branch offices, and third party partners
Unified ZTNA platform for users, workloads & OT/IoT
Securely connect to private apps, services, and OT/IoT devices with the industry's most comprehensive ZTNA platform
Highlights
Minimize the attack surface - Make apps invisible, impossible to breach
Eliminate lateral movement - Enforce least-privileged access without putting users on the network
Stop compromised users and mitigate risk - Prevent app exploitation, find, active attackers and threats, and prevent data loss

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This listing offers one pricing dimension: the ZPA Transformation Edition. You buy it as a contract priced per user. The unit is Users, so your cost scales with the number of subscribed users you enroll. It delivers zero trust network access to private applications, connecting users directly to apps rather than to your network. There are no separate tiers or instance sizes to choose from on the Marketplace. You commit to a set user quantity for the contract term, and pricing follows that count.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one user for billing under the ZPA Transformation Edition?
A user is a subscribed individual you enroll for private application access. Your subscribed user count sets your cost. The listing has a minimum of 500 subscribed users. App connectors and service edges support that user base but are not billed as separate user units on this contract.
What happens to my cost if my user count grows during the contract?
Cost scales with the number of subscribed users you commit to. You enroll a set user quantity for the contract term, and pricing follows that count. Adding users beyond your commitment requires adjusting your subscription. Contact the vendor for changes to your committed user quantity mid-term.
What capabilities are included with the ZPA Transformation Edition per user?
You get zero trust access to private apps in cloud or data centers, with app segmentation, browser-based access, and app connectors. It brokers direct user-to-app connections instead of network access. Capabilities like AppProtection, browser isolation, and privileged remote access support securing private application traffic under this edition.

Strong Zero Trust Remote Access, but Troubleshooting and Reporting Need Simplifying
Reviewed on Oct 13, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like Zscaler Private Access because it provides secure access to internal applications without exposing them directly to the internet. It follows a Zero Trust approach by verifying users and controlling access based on their permissions, which helps ensure that only the right people can reach the right resources. It also reduces the risk of unauthorized access and supports secure remote working. From a security point of view, it’s useful for strengthening access control while also reducing the overall attack surface.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike about Zscaler Private Access is that troubleshooting connectivity issues can sometimes be difficult and time-consuming. In an infosec role, it’s important to quickly determine whether a problem is tied to user access, application configuration, or underlying network connectivity, and that isn’t always easy. At times, policy configuration and access management also take extra effort to get right. Overall, I think the user interface and reporting could be simpler and more user-friendly for day-to-day operations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zscaler Private Access helps address security issues tied to remote access, unauthorized access, and the risks that come with exposing internal applications to the internet. From an infosec perspective, it supports applying Zero Trust policies, granting access based on user permissions, and reducing the overall attack surface. It also makes secure remote access simpler for employees, while giving the security team a more effective way to manage and control access. Overall, this strengthens security and lowers the risk of unauthorized access to company resources.

Powerful Internet Traffic Monitoring That Protects Privacy and Prevents Leaks
Reviewed on Oct 13, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Zscaler is a powerful tool that can monitor internet traffic across different workspaces, helping protect each user’s privacy and prevent information leaks through unauthorized websites and tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
As far as downsides I have encounter none so far, since have prevented already leakage of information from each team member on my department. I would add the configuration it is tedious but not considering a downside.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zscaler has helped solve a lot of situation since we work with sensitive information related with blockchain and credit cards. It solved the security on each environment.
I like how Zscaler Private Access gives me secure, reliable, and easy access to company applications and resources from anywhere without the hassle of a traditional VPN. It helps protect sensitive information, and once everything is configured, connecting to company applications is relatively easy. The initial setup was fairly straightforward, though it required some IT support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes my connection is slow, especially when I open internal applications or reconnect after a network change. I also sometimes have to authenticate repeatedly, and I’d like the login and verification process to be quicker and smoother. The initial setup was fairly straightforward, but I needed some IT support to configure it and set up user access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can securely access company resources from different locations.

Lightweight, Accessible Protection with Minimal Updates
Reviewed on Oct 08, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
It doesn't impact performance on the computer, everything is accessible unless explicitly blocked by policy. It functions well and has minimal updates as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the websites that are blocked by Zscaler don't make a lot of sense. It'll detect some things as a threat or under a category when that may not be correct.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's definitely solving the big problem of security - which is users accessing random and unauthorized websites which they should not be. That's directly beneficial for a security person.
