    Dimensions summary

    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

    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.
    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.
    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.

    Secure Access, Complex Setup

    Reviewed on Sep 24, 2026
    Review provided by G2

    Zscaler Private Access solves security and complexity issues of traditional VPNs by offering secure, application-specific access without directly connecting users to our network.

    User-Friendly UI and Helpful Built-In AI for Safer Public Use

    Reviewed on Sep 23, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    It’s better than a VPM and feels more cautious in public spaces. The UI is very user-friendly, even for people who aren’t very tech-savvy. The built-in AI also helps you navigate.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The price is high; if you can’t afford it, you might as well go with other options. I also experience stuttering from time to time, along with occasional disconnection issues.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    The network connection, with its approach of not trusting everyone, helps you get the best out of all your connections, while also helping the team navigate the web safely.

    Admin Control and Custom Tunnel Routing That Just Works

    Reviewed on Sep 16, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    That the user cannot logout or close it if I want as an admin and that it routes the data in tunnels using only the routes I define so I can disable the best effort route
    What do you dislike about the product?
    That it does not handle the disconnect and internet issues well so it only can reconnect if manually initiated or by unplugging the ethernet cable and plugging it back in although this is not an issue from only my side
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Accessing my clients' data from a single IP so I have the users logging in from other places and it masks that like a VPN solution plus the Zscaler lists for restricting websites access

    Enhances Security but Needs Improved Admin Features

    Reviewed on Sep 13, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I like the one-to-one connection between the user and authorized applications with Zscaler Private Access and its deep integration with cloud security architecture. I find its approach to segmenting apps and services by user and group especially valuable, as it minimizes the attack surface while keeping services and apps available. It effectively limits access to specific users or groups and uses posture checks to prevent access by unauthorized users, protecting the environment from lateral movements in case of user compromise.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I think for admins, Zscaler doesn't give the full benefit of PAM (Privilege Access Management) and although it segregates access to services and apps, it doesn't provide command control or session recording, which would be good to have.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Zscaler Private Access reduces attack surfaces by allowing limited access based on user needs, not exposing the entire network. It segments app and service access to users and groups, which enhances security by preventing lateral movement in case of user compromise.
