It provides in-depth visibility into your network, ensuring that traffic flowing into your organization, be it from offices or individual users, is effectively filtered and secured through multiple layers of protection. It allows for efficient traffic management and the ability to pinpoint network issues. In the event of service outages, such as Salesforce going down in a specific region, the platform's dashboard can quickly identify whether the problem lies with your network or the external service. This capability proves beneficial for help desks and knowledgeable users, enabling them to determine whether the issue is within their local network, with their ISP, or the external service itself.

The visibility and log availability offered are highly valued for troubleshooting purposes, and this is a key factor driving customer interest in the firewall module. It is also gaining popularity due to its exceptional level of control, allowing for granular rule-setting based on Active Directory groups and intelligent user IDs, which simplifies the rule configuration process and is a significant driver for customer investment.

I've leveraged heavily the web proxy solution. 

The secure web gateway, the web firewall is great. 

CASB Enterprise DLP, the network DLP solution, is useful. 

Most of the features that Zscaler has to offer, we will deploy.

We are functioning fairly well with Zscaler Internet Access. With regards to scale, with regards to performance, the end-user performance and resiliency are good.

The initial setup is easy.

The solution has great features like configuration. It would be difficult to improve or simplify what Zscaler does. Once you have Zscaler running you have access to configure it however you want.

Product Manager (Zscaler) at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

As a product that is 100% cloud-based, there is no hardware or software to invest in. This means that it's an operational cost model, rather than a capital investment. Having an OpEx cost is something that has really helped our customers and their partners because it saves them money for any capital investment.

In the age of digitalization, a lot of companies do mergers and acquisitions. With Zscaler solutions, you can manage the users of two different companies. For example, if company A and company B do a merger tomorrow, Zscaler have a solution that enables both companies or organization users to work, using the same security policies and administration. This is a unique feature, as none of the other security vendors provides such capabilities that can be enabled or implemented quickly.
