"Efficient Zero Trust VPN Alternative"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Zscaler Private Access?

I really appreciate that Zscaler Private Access is a modern alternative to clunky legacy VPNs, keeping remote work smooth and secure with its zero trust approach. I like the fact that it connects directly to specific apps needed, without exposing the entire network. It's great at completely eliminating the headaches typically associated with traditional VPNs, especially for hybrid teams. The way Zscaler Private Access stops malware by hiding all other apps and only allowing authorized tool access is particularly valuable to me. It pairs well with identity platforms like Okta or Azure AD for single sign-on and multi-factor authentication, and with SIEM platforms like Splunk to monitor access logs.
