This leads to exceptional productivity for managed service providers.

"SonicWall Mobile Connect’s marketing efforts are commendable; they may not be perceived as the most secure player compared to Fortinet or Meraki. SonicWall Mobile Connect should focus on positioning itself as a strong contender in the mid-market segment to improve its standing. Many high-end engineers dismiss it in favor of Fortinet or Meraki, often due to a lack of firsthand experience."
"Licensing includes things that my customers don't need."
"Users report application access or latency issues with Zscaler Private Access."
"It's an expensive solution."

"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'd like to have two-factor authentication that is quite simple."
"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."
"More on-prem infrastructure is required when Zscaler Private Access is to be implemented as a single point of entry."
"Zscaler Private Access needs to improve its collaboration with applications without compromising security."
