"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"The most valuable feature is the manageability of the micro tunnels."
"Sandboxing, DLP, and SSL inspection engine are the most valuable features of Zscaler SASE."
"The most valuable feature of Zscaler Private Access is we do not have to connect to a VPN, it is seamless. It is more convenient for us because we use one agent to cover the internet and VPN access."
"I like its ease of use. It has a single pane of glass for the ZIA and ZPA pieces. It is very manageable. It is also very easy to deploy for secure access, and it gives half-decent coverage for visibility in terms of what the users use and what data is being proxied through the access gateway."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the CASB solutions, which is protecting their Office 365."

"Yes, it is very stable. I have never seen it go down, not once."
"The ZPA is a unique feature which offers VPN along with all the additional security needed."
"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."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"When a Mac is joined to Azure, the generic Pro console in the MDM should accurately display the Mac as joined to Azure in the inventory section. Currently, it shows "no domain account found," which can be misleading."
"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 configuration could be faster."
"Zscaler Private Access's reporting is poor. We should have more insight into the reports regarding what is blocked and allowed."
"Setup is a bit complex because there are many steps that need to be taken before onboarding and activating the solution."
"The interface needs a bit of work."
"Sometimes applications crash on some machines, and we’d like Zscaler to give us some information as to why that may have happened. We’d like more detailed reports."
"I can't speak to any missing features."
"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."
"It has a limitation, if you are creating a rule or something for a web application or something, you could only add five users, not more than that. Five or four users are only included in a rule. If you want to create a rule for more than five or four users, you have to go through other methods, not particularly with the application. Working within the application with this method would be quite easy as compared to listing a URL or a normal IP address."
"We often face performance and latency issues with Zscaler SASE."
