"The most valuable features of Zscaler Private Access are reliability, scalability, and availability."
"The solution offers a simplified network infrastructure and security functions and it enables secure remote access for the users"
"The VPN is great for the stability on offer and for the cloud updates and insights you can get."
"It does the job. What it is needed for. I can use it for VPN, I can use it for secure connections, I can use it as a firewall. So the solution does the job."
"Users get direct secure access to applications over the internet."
"The most valuable feature is the manageability of the micro tunnels."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to establish connectivity for remote users and remote endpoints. It offers a high level of granularity compared to typical VPNs, which also encapsulate a lot of I/O."
"It is a stable solution."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"We've had some issues when users restart their devices because the device asks for credentials afterward. Jamf Connect asks for a username, password, and MFA."
"We have faced issues with the product's configuration. If we use the tool with other business manager solutions, then there is the issue of naming conventions. The tool needs to be careful with newer updates so that it doesn't break any of the existing configurations."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"The configuration could be faster."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"More on-prem infrastructure is required when Zscaler Private Access is to be implemented as a single point of entry."
"Zscaler Private Access's reporting is poor. We should have more insight into the reports regarding what is blocked and allowed."
"The menu for the ZIA portal could be organized a little bit differently. The most-used modules should be at the top of the menus, not somewhere near the bottom, some of them are not organized well in my opinion."
"What could be improved in Zscaler Private Access is its notification. For example, if there's a speed issue, there should be a pop-up that alerts the user about it. If there is a network quality issue, for example, it isn't good enough to connect to, or the network quality is bad, there should be a notification from the solution. Zscaler Private Access also needs improvement in terms of its interface and security."
"The stability could be improved."
"Zscaler Private Access could improve by improving external access. If external parties want to access locally to my company's services, we need to onboard them into our domain, otherwise, it doesn't work. Additionally, if their company also has Zscaler Private Access, then it doesn't work. They need to log in with our domain ID, not their company ID."
"The solution needs to improve a lot of aspects."
"Conflicts arise if you do not have the same management teams on the product."
