Find out in this report how the two ZTNA as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"The most valuable feature is ease of access. It's convenient to do things like resetting passwords. Previously, users were bound to their domain. We had to bind the user to the domain and log them in through the AD. Now, using Jamf Connect, we don't face any of these challenges. Resetting passwords is hassle-free so we can regularly rotate passwords according to best practices."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
"Jamf Connect allows for easy and seamless joining of Mac devices to Azure AD, eliminating the need for third-party involvement or support engineer assistance."
"The most valuable features of Zscaler Private Access are reliability, scalability, and availability."
"Yes, it is very stable. I have never seen it go down, not once."
"The product's most valuable features are cloud-based services and secure internet access. We don't have to set up any physical appliances."
"The ZPA is a unique feature which offers VPN along with all the additional security needed."
"The most valuable feature is the manageability of the micro tunnels."
"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."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"The most valuable feature of Zscaler Private Access is the categorization of the dynamic URLs which keeps the customer's environment protected. The threats and the malware are correctly categorized."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"The configuration could be faster."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"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."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"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."
"It would be better if the Zscaler Private Access team made it easier for people to find subscriptions on the portal, mainly information on what my customers subscribed to or the type of licenses purchased."
"Users report application access or latency issues with Zscaler Private Access."
"There is improvement in enhancing proper manageability, policies, and logs. So, log management could be improved."
"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."
"There are latency issues with the solution. They are small, however, they are there when you compare it to other vendors."
"The granularity in blocking is not sufficient, as new domains are automatically blocked for 30 days without further information."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of configuration."
