"Yes, it is very stable. I have never seen it go down, not once."
"I find all Zscaler Private Access features valuable because each replaces flawed technologies, such as EPAs being replacements for VPN and PR as a replacement for PAM, so I can't mention only one valuable feature. Overall, Zscaler Private Access is a good solution."
"The Live Logs are a cool feature. We can directly identify issues and divert user traffic."

"The solution is a bit complex and could be made easier to use."
"There is room for improvement in the tools and features available on the GCP. In particular, the managed databases and queues could be improved, and it would be beneficial to have more offerings in areas such as data science and data warehousing. Additionally, GCP could benefit from offering similar tools to those offered by its competitors, such as Amazon AWS's Redshift."
"As an individual developer, I would like Google Cloud IAP to offer more flexibility, especially for smaller-scale usage."
"The support can be more efficient. Google has different layers of support, like layer one, layer two, and layer three, but normally, the response from layer one is not very useful."

"An area for improvement would be the ease of configuration."
"We faced certain migration and implementation challenges in executing the tasks, so I would suggest improvement related to the stability of the solution."
"Zscaler Private Access needs to improve its collaboration with applications without compromising security."
"While Zscaler supports client-initiated connections, it does not support server-initiated connections. This is a feature that Zscaler may consider adding in the future."
"There is some issue while accessing the portal. It takes too long."
"We often face performance and latency issues with Zscaler SASE."
"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."
"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."
