Superior Security Beyond Typical VPNs
What do you like best about the product?
What I love bout Zcaler private is the kind of security that brings to the table, not like the usual VPNS you can find anywhere, you can see how it works perfectly, keeping everything in order and safe on your end
What do you dislike about the product?
What I don´t like, it´s quite expensive in comparisson of many VPNS in the market that can give you similar tools and experience, so this is something that makes me reconsider Zscaler as the main option, but at the end of the day is amazing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It´s reducing the risk of exposure on the net, additionally reenforce the security to the next level, which helps the company to feel safe, maintaining everything under control.
Great Access Control, but a Bit Complex for Beginners
What do you like best about the product?
One thing that i loved about using it, the fact that they went beyond fto ensure only specific access to network is one of the most amazing thing i've seen in a while, wish a lot of people actually used it in my country
What do you dislike about the product?
It's kinda complex for me, but i like it so far tbh , not a specific thing that i dislike about it really, just that it might kinda be complex for first time users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I remember knowing about it , on reddit after seacrhing for an alternative , after using different VPN, one thing that i love about it is how they've changed security for VPN providers(Idk why no one thought about it before hhh), anyways, it has changed how people has access to data, limiting to only a selected networks is amazing and as someone who values security and data , this is a gem
Seamless and Secure Remote Access Without Traditional VPN Hassles
What do you like best about the product?
It simplifies secure remote access without needing a traditional VPN. It only connects users to the apps they need, reducing risk and improving security.
It’s seamless for users—no constant logins or dropped connections when switching networks. Plus, performance is better since traffic doesn’t route through a central VPN.

What do you dislike about the product?
ZPA generally keeps things secure, but it can be overly restrictive—blocking legitimate sites like Yahoo Sports. Performance is sometimes inconsistent, with slowdowns or dropped connections, especially when switching networks. Troubleshooting issues can also be unclear. A bit more flexibility and smoother user experience would make it much better for daily use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ZPA makes it easy to connect private apps across on-prem and cloud environments without changing the network setup—App Connectors handle the integration.
It’s secure because app and data center details aren’t exposed, and there’s no direct link between user devices and apps. Access flows through App Connectors, which are only reachable via the Client Connector.
For apps that require access through a corporate public IP, deploying SIPA allows traffic to route through your own IP instead of Zscaler’s cloud IP.

Beyond the Perimeter
What do you like best about the product?
The thing which I like best about the ZPA is its reducing the Attack Surface:
it render the internal application invisible to the internet.
The users do not need to connect to corporate network , but they gets a chance to connect directly to the
app via Zscaler cloud. Ans the IP and network both remains secure and do not get disclosed.
The another thing is its security feature where if somehow attacker gains an access to user's device , so they can only access the specific application not to the not to the network resources .
