Zscaler's Zero Trust model ensures that users are never placed directly on the corporate network. Instead, access is granted only to specific applications based on identity, device posture, and policy, dramatically reducing attack surface, lateral movement risk, and exposure of internal resources.
The Zero Trust Security model gives assurance that no device or user is automatically trusted. since each access request is validated. Secure remote access without VPN.

I like the fact that its cloud based, and we do not need in premise infrastrucuture to be able to use url inspection, internal application isolation, microsegmentation in the level of the application. The idea of getting permission only if needed, by a specific group, its also very useful. Cause it enforces security by default, thus harder to avoid it.
what I dislike about Zscaler is the initial complexity in policy design and troubleshooting, without strong Zero Trust understanding and governance, diagnosing access issues can be challenging and time-consuming.
facing difficulty in initial configuration. Occasional performance issues limited visibility during troubleshooting
The price increased quickly thus making it hard for us to handle the prices. Also, there are not many attributes in the Zscaler client connector that can be used to make posture analysis on the endpoints.
