Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The solution had slow connections and very bad routers. We continuously had issues with the VPN and proxy configuration."

More AT&T VPN Cons →

"It has massive room for improvement. The Zscaler product itself is okay, but it doesn't give enough granularity for us as an organization to stipulate rules or processes, especially for data-driven services. For instance, we can stick on SSL inspection, but it's just a click box. It doesn't allow us to go any further into the detail of the SSL inspection. We also can't pull it out without having an additional logging server. It just doesn't give us enough granularity. They should give us more control over the interfaces because it is all backend. They weren't very open to discussing their backend architecture with us in terms of their own data centers. They can maybe a little bit more open about what components are there and how the backend infrastructure works alongside Zscaler. Its licensing can be better. Some of the additional licensing costs are quite high, and they should have certain features ready and available as a baseline rather than having to purchase additional licenses for it. Their support should also be improved. I initially had a consultant from Zscaler for its deployment, but the support that I had throughout the deployment of the project wasn't the best.""We'd like to have two-factor authentication that is quite simple.""To enhance their offering, it is advisable for them to focus on strengthening the foundation of their architecture. Additionally, they should consider integrating a broader range of services that go beyond what managed service providers typically offer independently.""More on-prem infrastructure is required when Zscaler Private Access is to be implemented as a single point of entry.""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.""We often face performance and latency issues with Zscaler SASE.""The area that requires improvement is their support. The current support is lacking.""Users report application access or latency issues with Zscaler Private Access."
