Zscaler Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

Customer Support is exceptional, accompanying the customer through the whole process with educated and skilled employees. The broad range of services offers an all-in-one solution so you don't need to look elsewhere for missing capabilities. Multiple integration options enable seamless collaboration with other third party tools.

Like

We implemented it for risk management and I expect that the risks are minimized after implementing ZScaler.

Like

The platform is very robust compared to most others on the market. The admin UI is clean and each function has it's own UI so that it's always very clear what function is being worked with.

Dislike

Deployment is complicated with many variables that can easily change the behavior or performance of the solution. The costs are very high and unsustainable for smaller business customers. Agent troubleshooting is not easy without Customer Support services.

Dislike

Unexpected interruptions Slow responsiveness of the system

Dislike

The troubleshooting experience is not great. The logs are not easily interpreted by users or the product. The DLP and TLS inspection configurations were not the most robust options within the platform - functional but still have plenty of room for improvement. I also don't care for the fact that Digital Experience and DLP are separate add-on SKUs. With a platform like this, everything should be included, but separated via license tiers - not add-ons.
