We use the product to control traffic and for user management purposes.

The product’s most valuable features are data discovery, activity control, and zero trust exchange.

There could be a feature to view the VPN tunnel activities in terms of configuration.

We have been using Zscaler Cloud DLP for a year and a half.

I rate the product’s stability a ten out of ten.

We manage accounts for around 2,000 to 3,000 Zscaler Cloud DLP users. It is a scalable product.

The technical support services are good.

I rate Zscaler Cloud DLP a ten out of ten. It is a good and easy-to-use product with efficient scalability.

We use the solution to restrict uploading over public sites. We control the users’ actions through DLP. Only users who have access can upload files. We manage multiple policies.

The policies are very easy to implement. It's very easy to understand. We have the option to assign time limits to the access we provide. For example, we can implement a policy for one year for a particular user. Once it expires, we can disable it.

We have some limitations while checking logs. The product must allow users to check logs for an entire year in the local console. Currently, we can check logs only for the previous three to four months.

Forcepoint provides multiple services separately, but Zscaler does not provide separate DLP. It will be good if Zscaler provides the DLP module separately.

I have been using the solution for the last two years.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten.

The tool is very scalable. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Approximately 5,200 people are using the solution in our organization.

We are also using Forcepoint.

The initial setup is very easy.

The product is a little more expensive than other tools.

We do not face any challenges with the product. If we have any problems, the vendor helps us. The product is everywhere. Everyone is using it. It's very, very flexible. It provides a single solution for multiple modules like DLP, proxy, and firewall. Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

We use Zscaler Private Access to authenticate our applications, which provides a more secure way to access the Internet from our work environment. We have multiple policies for different types of users. When new users join the company, they authenticate the VPA application to access the Internet. We use SSL bypass policies, tenant restrictions policies, and Microsoft tenant cloud application policies. We also use File Type Control Policy for all categories of files, and our traffic goes to the WAPAC file and the application. We are using services as per the requirements of our clients.

The most valuable features are the File Type Control and SSL bypass policies. We have multiple options, such as very flexible policies and modules in Zscaler. We will define them based on our requirements and the active Internet. We also have geolocation users. For example, a user from Singapore moves to Dubai. When the user tries to access the Internet, Zscaler automatically detects the geolocation and drives our traffic to the other channel. There is no issue here.

When using a Blue Coat, we have some problems. Sometimes, some of our users have some issues, but once we update the agent, the traffic goes to the current geolocation without any problems, and they can access it. Sometimes, we have some URL categories blocked in our environment, but HPE sometimes removes the block. We request that the vendor to remove the block from the correct URL category. They provide a suitable solution based on the findings.

There is some issue while accessing the portal. It takes too long. It will take longer if I am on the URL Cloud App category and switch to other tabs.

I have been using Zscaler Private Access for five years.

If something happens, they have integration and they send notifications. I rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten.

If I need to switch the policy to another task, the solution takes time. I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

Compared to other proxies, such as Glook and IronPort, Zscaler Private Access is very easy to handle.

The initial setup is easy. You need to configure the proxy tool for the network configuration. They can forward multiple services based on the client's requirements. If we need to use the VPA, we need to authenticate. It takes one day to implement the solution, but for smooth running, it takes around a month because of timely revision.

The solution is expensive.

The categorization issue is dependent on the end user. For example, if I am trying to access a categorized URL but need to access it for work, I should be able to request a change to the categorization. Forcepoint can change the categorization itself, or the client team can do it for me. This is enough to change the categorization to meet the requirements. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

It would take a touch of magic that would set it apart. When it comes to mainstream solutions, reaching a rating of eight is quite commendable. However, there are dedicated solutions specifically designed for managed service providers that truly excel and can be considered the top ten in their field. These solutions are primarily focused on catering to the needs of managed service providers rather than the enterprise environment. To reach a ten out of ten, the solution has to be completely customizable to the needs of a specific sector.

I have evaluated other solutions.

Zscaler Private Access is an exceptionally professional company that I strongly endorse. However, if your organization has a large field force or relies heavily on sales or geographically dispersed teams, it may be worth exploring alternative solutions.

While easy-to-deploy and user-friendly solutions may appear promising on paper, the true success of any digital transformation project lies in the choice of a competent managed service provider. It is essential to select a solution that works hand in hand with a capable managed service provider. If the managed service provider is excellent but the solution itself is subpar, it will impede progress. Similarly, even if the solution is exceptional, inadequate management will hinder optimal performance. Therefore, it is crucial to take a holistic approach in selecting the best possible solution and compare them side by side, alongside the expertise and approachability of the managed service provider. By deploying both solutions, such as Cato Network or Zscaler Private Access, and carefully observing their performance with small tasks, you can quickly identify the differences, especially in terms of speed and performance. These factors can vary significantly based on the nature and volume of your data.

Our clients prioritize five key objectives when it comes to their systems: security, compliance, performance, cost optimization, and operational continuity. These criteria are crucial for their operations. However, achieving compliance, especially in specific sectors like oil and gas or telecommunications, goes beyond relying solely on the tool itself. Compliance is achieved through proper operational practices and procedures, which is why clients rely on the expertise of managed service providers. While the tool may have certifications and guarantees related to data residency and longevity, it is ultimately the way an organization operates its infrastructure, solutions, and systems that determine compliance and security. It is important to continuously work on and test these aspects rather than treating them as something that can be simply purchased. Security and compliance require ongoing effort and attention on a daily basis.
