"The scanning feature is impressive, because they do not introduce a big latency to the traffic."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"Zscaler Internet Access protects using data loss prevention. If you have a CASB exposing your cloud out into the network, then Zscaler Internet Access will go ahead and control that unknown cloud application in the CASB, protecting it. There is also data detection with exact data match. This improves the data coming into your cloud so you are protecting it."
"The solution is stable."

"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."

"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"I would give this product a rating of 9 out of 10 due to some slight issues of performance."
"There are some performance issues when we add on additional controls."
"When you have appliances, SSL inspection is always a headache due to poor performance and/or lack of ciphers implemented. "
"Zscaler Internet Access needs to integrate more ISPs. It is good to have more than three ISPs."
"One thing that they could improve is the ability to import rules from other platforms."
"Currently, the solution's interface is not that user-friendly."
"The tool should improve the predefined dictionaries."
"They should enhance the audit reporting feature."
"Zscaler does not provide dedicated IPs to each customer. Hence, they share a pool of IPs provided by Zscaler. There is a chance of blacklisting these IPs. I also do not like the multi-management portal."
