"Secure Connectivity without VPN Hassles, Top Choice for Hybrid Workforces"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Zscaler Private Access?

I appreciate how Zscaler Private Access secures remote connectivity for our hybrid workforce without the need for traditional VPNs, enabling safe access to internal applications from any location. I am impressed by the product's ability to noticeably reduce latency and enhance the overall user experience, all while upholding a robust security posture and compliance standards. Setting it up has been straightforward for me, thanks to the clear documentation and the support of an active community. I also value how users can connect directly to the specific applications they require, without exposing the entire network. The solution is lightweight and fast, removing the hassle of managing VPNs and their often sluggish tunnels. The admin console offers excellent visibility, and integration with identity providers like Azure is seamless. I find the cost of Zscaler Private Access to be reasonable and attractive, particularly for enterprises, and I appreciate its recognition as a market leader.

What do you dislike about Zscaler Private Access?

I find myself wishing the troubleshooting process was a little more straightforward, since resolving issues can often be quite frustrating. Other than that, I think the cost of implementing Zscaler Private is relatively high, especially for smaller organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Security Integration with Zscaler and Okta for Ultimate Data Protection"
4/5
What do you like best about Zscaler Private Access?

I love that Zscaler integrates with Beyond Identity and Okta to be able to use our finger-print on MacBooks to sign into everything. As an HR company hosting thousands of pieces of sensitive personal data, it is a hugely necessary component to keeping our work and data private. Zscaler seems to "go down" a lot, or log itself out a lot, but it is very intuitive and easy to reset or re-authenticate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zscaler Private Access?

It doesn't provide any kind of notification when something goes wrong. Zscaler forces re-sign-in multiple times a day, which is frustrating because it can take several minutes to get everything refreshed, but when something does stop working, it's almost always because Zscaler is down, and now I know to check that first, but it doesn't actually notify you that it's been disconnected unless you open the program.

"Helpful Tool for Secure Application Access"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Zscaler Private Access?

Zscaler Private Access is easy to use once it is set up properly. It provides secure access to internal applications without using a traditional VPN, which makes remote work smooth and reliable. The tool works well on a daily basis and handles access control neatly. It integrates well with other security and identity tools, and customer support is helpful when we raise tickets or need clarification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zscaler Private Access?

The initial setup and implementation can be a bit complex and time-consuming, especially for first-time users. Sometimes troubleshooting issues takes longer than expected. Also, the pricing feels on the higher side and some advanced features require additional configuration knowledge. Improving documentation and simplifying setup would make it easier for new teams.

"Great alternative to VPNs with strong security and smooth access"
5/5
What do you like best about Zscaler Private Access?

What I like most about Zscaler Private Access is that it completely removes the hassle of using a traditional VPN. Once it’s set up, users can securely access internal apps from anywhere without worrying about connecting to the corporate network. The zero-trust approach feels much safer because access is given only to what’s needed. It also integrates nicely with identity providers like Okta or Azure AD, which makes user management simple and one more advantage is it is noticing each and every ethernet connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zscaler Private Access?

If I am being honest, the setup can be tricky at first, especially if you’re new to Zscaler or zero-trust concepts. Some of the policies take a bit of trial and error to get right, and the documentation could be clearer in a few areas. I’ve also noticed occasional delays with authentication when multiple integrations are active. The reporting dashboard is good but could use a few more customization options for deeper visibility Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using Zscaler"
5/5
What do you like best about Zscaler Private Access?

What I really like about Zscaler Private Access is how easy it makes remote access without relying on a traditional VPN. You don’t have to connect to a full network—ZPA gives you access only to the specific applications you need, which keeps everything more secure and limits potential risks.

It’s also much smoother for users. You can switch between networks without losing your connection or having to constantly log back in. The performance is noticeably faster too, since traffic doesn’t have to go through a single VPN gateway.

From an IT and security perspective, it’s a huge win. It simplifies access management, reduces infrastructure costs, and helps maintain a true zero-trust environment. Overall, ZPA provides a secure, reliable, and user-friendly way to connect people to the resources they need, no matter where they’re working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zscaler Private Access?

While Zscaler Private Access is great for security, it can be a little frustrating at times. The biggest issue I’ve noticed is that it sometimes blocks legitimate sites that really shouldn’t be restricted — for example, Yahoo Sports, which I use for fantasy leagues. It feels like the filtering can be a bit too aggressive.

Performance can also be inconsistent. Sometimes it slows things down or drops the connection unexpectedly, especially when switching between networks. And when something doesn’t work, it’s not always clear why — the troubleshooting process can be confusing.

Overall, ZPA does a good job keeping things secure, but I wish it were a little more flexible and user-friendly. A few tweaks to performance and site access would make it much better to use every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I find frustrating about Zscaler Private Access is that the connection occasionally becomes slow or even drops for a few seconds.

"Fast, Seamless Access with Enhanced Security"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Zscaler Private Access?

Users only get access to the apps they need, not the whole network.

You don’t have to connect to a slow, old-style VPN.

It sends you to the app in the quickest path, so things load faster.

You just open your app, and it works in the background.

Apps stay hidden from the internet, so attackers can’t see them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zscaler Private Access?

Setup can be tricky – Getting all the rules, apps, and connectors right can take time.

Troubleshooting is not always easy – When something doesn’t work, it can be hard to see why.

Cost – It can be expensive for some organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast Whitelisting, Efficient Security"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Zscaler Private Access?

I like that Zscaler Private Access is fast and reliable. Whenever I whitelist or blacklist a link, it reflects right away. I also appreciate the logging review features that let me check on user activity. It doesn't affect production, and if there's an urgent action like whitelisting a tool or URL related to the client, it doesn't take time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zscaler Private Access?

I don't like when you whitelist a URL, it doesn't fully work. You still need to whitelist other sublinks to make the URL or tool fully loaded or productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
