The implementation is straightforward. It involves setting up the desired terminal for a specific office or deploying the Zscaler app across user devices. Once you configure the necessary parameters, the terminal build process tends to be automated, making it a remarkably easy and hassle-free procedure.

The initial setup is straightforward. It might be challenging for people who are new to the solution. It requires technical knowledge. We can use Azure, AWS, GCP, and other private cloud services for the solution.

The initial setup was straightforward, and very easy to use. I was a part of the transition from Blue Coat to Zscaler and the process itself has given us as a company a lot of comfort. Overall, I would say it was uncomplicated.

The initial setup is fairly easy. We've never faced any problems there. We deployed it for both on-premises and a couple of our cloud infrastructure setups. It's a piece of cake. 

We had to deploy the back files so we push backfiles to CCM and Intune. With regards to the agents, that was fairly seamless. We set up about 20,000 users and had them up and running within close to two weeks - three days for the actual implementation and deployment. It was fairly seamless.

The solution's deployment process is straightforward compared with legacy appliances, on-premises, or cloud applications. We configure all the essential policies, including ZIA. Later, we can also use the same network for filtering policies for workload traffic.

It is user-friendly and can be deployed quickly without purchasing any physical hardware. It requires five to seven days to complete.

Although, in some cases, we couldn't find specific procedures. We ask their support team to assist us and enable those particular options. They should include all the essential information and functionality in the admin console. It will help new executives review the reference article and configure the solution.

Initial setup is very simple and then it's just a matter of IP addresses exchanged between Zscaler and the customer, and then configuration. Any extras require just ticking the box and it's done. Technically, setup can take five minutes, and up to a week dealing with individual customer requirements, IP addresses, etc. Most of our customers have their own IT people who implement. Maintenance is included with the product, it's all in the cloud server which is maintained 24/7.

The initial setup was straightforward. It wasn't too complex.

Deployment times vary. It depends on the number of sites, for example. We have a separate team that works on the delivery part so I'm not able to discuss implementation on a micro-level. 

However, deployment depends on the complexity of the solution, the number of sites and what the specific requirements of the customer are. It may take a day or two to fully implement, or three days, at a maximum.

The initial setup is fairly easy. It's not overly complex, although the deployment itself can be.

The process requires some planning in advance to integrate with multiple systems, such as firewalls. If the advanced work is done, the rest of the process happens very quickly.

The initial setup is very straightforward, you need to put an agent into your machine and it goes directly to the cloud. If you have 500 users, setup can take about a week. For 10,000, it takes about a month. Generally, though, the setup will happen in one or two days and then it's just rolled out onto the machines. There are usually some technical errors here and there which can slow things down a little but otherwise it's easy implementation and not very time consuming. Our company does the implementation and we have support from Zscaler.
