Convenient, Always-On Access with Room for Speed Improvement
Reviewed on Mar 03, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that Zscaler Private Access is automated. It's turned on by default, which is a very interesting feature because when I'm using different software, I usually have to connect and disconnect, which can be a hassle. But with Zscaler Private Access, it's automatically opened and it never turns off for any reason. So it's always turned on automatically, which is great. I don't have to do anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I don't like about Zscaler Private Access is how much it affects my Internet speed. Normally my speed is about 30 to 35 megabits per second, but when using this, it drops to about 5 megabits per second. So, the speed is downgraded significantly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zscaler Private Access solves the problem of having to physically visit the site every day. With this VPN, I can access the required websites from home, and the connection is set up automatically.

What do you like best about the product?
I like that Zscaler Private Access is easy to use and understood. Once I assign the profile for the user, it's updated and responds quickly. The initial setup was simple for my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes a lot of time to sync the profile rules.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zscaler Private Access resolves many company issues, is easy to use, and allows for quick profile updates, improving response speed.

Fast Whitelisting with Room for Improvement
Reviewed on Feb 05, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fast reflection in whitelisting and blacklisting and controlling user URLs access. It helps solve the issue of controlling what end-users can access, making them more productive. The setup was pretty easy to initiate too.
What do you dislike about the product?
In whitelisting, sometimes it requires whitelisting another sub links to work, which I think needs to be improved. Applying sub categories or suggestions when whitelisting URLs to make things work would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Zscaler Private Access for controlling end-user traffic and logging for incident analysis. It solves controlling what end-users can access, making them more productive.

Fast Whitelisting, Efficient Security
Reviewed on Feb 04, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Zscaler Private Access is fast and reliable. Whenever I whitelist or blacklist a link, it reflects right away. I also appreciate the logging review features that let me check on user activity. It doesn't affect production, and if there's an urgent action like whitelisting a tool or URL related to the client, it doesn't take time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like when you whitelist a URL, it doesn't fully work. You still need to whitelist other sublinks to make the URL or tool fully loaded or productive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Zscaler Private Access for controlling and securing traffic, addressing security and productivity concerns, and preventing access to non-work URLs. It updates whitelists/blacklists quickly, ensuring that urgent actions don't impact production.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the scalability and reliability of Zscaler Private Access. It's pretty fast when you blacklist or whitelist a link, and the changes reflect on all devices or users, even for those working from home. This makes it really convenient. The setup was easy, too, with no issues during configuration. I just had to push the configuration and profiles on our production floor, and it worked smoothly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently i dont have any dislikes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Zscaler Private Access to prevent users from accessing unauthorized or unrelated work links, addressing security concerns and blocking non-work related websites like social media and suspicious links.
